You might mention Canada's contribution to the war effort.
Germany invaded Poland Sept 1 1939. England and France declared war on the 3d. Canada's Parliament declared war on the 10th of September, 1939 just one week after England and France.
The US joined in on December 7 1941, more than two long years later.
Canada was in full war production by early 1940. WW2 aficionados will recall the boxy slab sided army trucks so common in England. They were a Canadian product made by Chevrolet and Ford to a standard design.
Canada contributed 1.1 million soldiers, sailor and airmen to the armed forces and over $10 billion dollars worth of weapons and equipment.
Not bad for a country with a population between 10 and 11 millions.
To put that into perspective 10% of the population was under arms of whom 1 in 10 was killed or wounded.
