Some interesting stats here. Including the amazing fact that 41.15% of the Canadian male population between 18-45 served in the armed forces during ww2. British Columbia led the way with over 50% participation. WWII: Facts & Information - Canada at War
Canuck an amazing record for such a small population of the times - didn't realise that Quebec had made such a large contribution but then they were 25% + of the total and B.C. with less than 10% - even to-day Cheers

At the end of ww2, Canada had the 3rd largest airforce and fourth largest navy. Quite the contribution from a nation of just eleven million souls. Cheers from just 4459 kilometers down the road Randy
Randy - and from last week's announcement from Ottawa to restore the "Royal" to the Navy and Air force - pretty soon they shall be proud units once more.. cheers
