War reaches Canada!

I certainly agree with you and share in your pride.

Canada was a loyal and ferocious ally to the end.

What I find hard to accept is the fact that the Canadian ships were usually last in line when it came to the fitting of new technology, despite the fact some of her escort groups were actually led by british commanded destroyers already fitted with said improved technology.

It wasn't until the Neptune phase of Overlord that the shackles of restraint were lifted and they were allowed to undertake offensive ASW duties.

Double standards IMHO, treating an ally as a second rate partner....and I am a British/English citizen.
