On this observance of D-Day, remember who was shoulder to shoulder with us: CANADIANS

[Stinky The Clown]

Fuck you, you fatheaded, yellow mullet haired asshole.

CANADA

The neighbor you're dissing.

Just fuck you.

1. I believe the Canadians took Juno Beach. nt

2. Yes they did.

Consider: Canada's population is roughly 10% of that of the US. On D-Day, there were about 150,000 Americans and 14,000 Canadians. An equally heavy commitment of blood and treasure risked.

3. Very few Canadians are warrior types, Texas dwarfs them in military service. I used to be a member

of the Canadian Airborne Association to show solidarity with their tiny handful of soldier types, because the average Canadian is not about to serve or even support their elite troops.

5. The only country to provide troops to WW2 from the America's prior to Pearl Harbor.

The Records
During the Second World War, approximately 709,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in the Canadian Army, 200,000 in the Royal Canadian Navy and 250,000 in the Royal Canadian Air Force for a total of over 1,159,000 men and women. Some 55,000 were wounded. A further 44,090 lost their lives: 24,525 served in the Army, 17,397 in the Air Force and 2,168 in the Navy.

I for one am pretty damned happy the only country in the America's to provide troops to WW2 prior to Pearl Harbor were there through the end of it.

6. Of course they did, for Britain, the days of Canadians being fighters is over.

4. Yes. There were no Russians storming the beaches of Normandy.

There were plenty of Canadians, Brits, and Free French, however.

"Fuck you" is far too kind for that steaming pile of rotting, filthy excrement, BTW. But, I still echo your sentiments, Stinky.

7. What an awful day.

But it was the first big punch by the Anti Fascists to throw the Nazis out of Europe and to erase history of the German regime. Remember that. We were all anti-fascists then, and somehow now, it's a terrorist organization thinking to not want it in America.
Think about that and the corporate messages you digest everyday as well.
