Wait, are you saying Auli is getting downvoted even though they're right? Because what they are saying is NOT true for WWII.

They are just saying the UK pulled us into war when it was within their jurisidiction to do so. They arent passing any judgement on the valor or sacrifice of our forces.

Sorry if I'm still understanding.

We had the right to choose to join or not in WWII. The OP is saying we didn't, right? That isn't true.

Also because so many young Canadian men died in that war, so it's hard to say "we didn't" and it actually be true.
