Canadian here. They taught us in school, that our units formed at the time of conscription kept people from the same community together. So, you fought alongside your family and friends. Seeing them die, would tend to induce strong feelings.
@theredscourge
Canadian here, we found out that the longer a war lasts, the more likely we won't survive, so we just decided to end them as fast as possible, and it turns out the other side surrenders faster when they're terrified. Also, the Brits forgot to tell us that there were rules.
@huntery3568
As a Canadian immigrant, my observation is: Canadians are very polite, and place a high value on playing by the rules. When there are rules, Canadians will operate within them. If you break the rules, Canadians get very, very upset. If there are no rules at all, Canadians will quickly make it clear why there really should have been rules in place.

I trained with a Canadian army. Excellent field craft, highly resourceful, decisive, and very aggressive. I am a fan.

Canada during peacetime: "I'm sorry" Canada during wartime: "You're sorry"

"It ain't a war crime the first time". Canadians when they go to war
@MyKatieWhispers
An American Veteran said in a Documentary I was watching on the Italian campaign: If you can't take control of a city bring in the Canadians. They will clear it in a day. Tell them their is booze in there, and they will clear it in hours.

Proud to say that I am Canadian of Japanese descent. My grandfather actually fought at Vimy Ridge in 1917 with a contingent of 1st generation Japanese Canadian soldiers. I am so very proud of my grandfather and Canada.

Nova Scotian here. I remembere a vet talking, rather bluntly, about killing Germans crude and brutally (wont get into it cause NSFW). My dad asked why he did such horrid things, and I still remember the vets reply. "Cause I wanted to go home" Edit: This is on e of my few comments on YT and am hard to believe it's This massive so thank you all for sharing your comments. Also, let's go Nova Scotians! Didn't think I see so many in the chat. And for those curious, I'm from the Annapolis Valley
@canardcoincoin1582
My theory is that Canadian are polite and expect reciprocity. If you broke peace and make them stand up from his warm and cozy chair. he'll make sure you never do that again.
@Mrkabrat
If memory serves, the canadian reasoning was "This is a war, the sooner we end it, the sooner we go home. So why play nice?"
@WalhallaWacht
I was hoping this video would show up in my feed again. Canada will never be the 51st state 😂
@blueballs9712
My great-uncle served with many Canadians in WW2. He said they were just built different. Any time we speak about his experience at war, he always brings up the Canadians. He still raves about how little they seemed to be bothered by certain horrific conditions. They just shrugged it off and kept moving. He jokes around sometimes and says they were like a bunch of lions who weren't afraid of gunshots. They went for the kill. "Brutal and respectable men" is what he says.
@emilygordbort7300
The two people you don't wanna push: the quiet kid and the friendly kid. When they're both the same guy, you're just asking for trouble.
@wendellswendell2001
Saskatchewan native here. We say "Quit when it's finished, not when you're tired"
@mitchellhodgemeyer1950
As a Canadian, here’s my theory: We’re NOT nice…we’re polite. There’s a difference.
@abouttime5000
Many Canadian soldiers were frontiersmen and farmers, lumberjacks, trappers, construction workers, railroad workers, and they were simply tough as nails.
@DeNihility
In school, we were taught that Canadians treated PoWs exceptionally well. What they didn't teach us was that these PoWs weren't captured by Canadians themselves, those PoWs were sent to Canada by their allies to hold on to, since they rarely ever took prisoners at all. 💀

Remember: Canada is the reason behind a large portion of the early Geneva Conventions
