Can you give an example of Canada "years ahead of the states and kicking ass", preferably with WW2 since that was the metaphor it was being applied to? As well, what nation is Greenland a satellite nation of? I am idiot for thinking Greenland wasn't a satellite nation for a moment, foremost Iceland but as well Scandinavia in general as that is where the people of Iceland came from IIRC.
In both world Wars Canada entered the conflict with Britain, so years ahead of military action from the US. As well as troops for the West European and Italian fronts, they supplied quite a lot of air crew, and trained even more in Canada as part of a system to train RAF personnel away from the threat of attacks in England. I don't know about the "kicking arse" comments. Canadians have generally proven to be competent and reliable troops over the decades though.
