[Thedimensionalwarrior]

Fun fact: some of the laws in the geneva convention were directly inspired by the acts committed by canadians in WW1

[JBROisUNDEAD]

The Germans: Peace?

The Canadians: Pieces.

Bro they got drafted and hockey season was canceled. I'm surprised they didn't burn everything in Europe down.

Canadian 2024: Want some beef! It's very good!
Canadian 1914: Go ahead. Take the beef. Take it. Aren't you hungry?

Normal day Canadians: "I'm sorry"

War time Canadians: "You're sorry"

[mazhiwezakizo]

The most Peaceful people... "Peace was never an option..." what??? WHY?!?!?!?

[Borderose]

At Peace: "Oops! I'm sorry, eh."
At War: "I've come to do The Devil's work."

As a Canadian, I always joked to myself that the “Canadians being nice” thing was just an elaborate ruse to hide how monstrous we’ve been throughout history.

Fun fact, the Geneva Convention is just a checklist of Canada's best known tactics 😅

[newenergyexperience]

Nope that examplifies canadian thought process pretty well.

Enemy: peace?
Canada: you may not.

It’s not a war crime if it’s the first time

My great grandfather fought for Canada in both World Wars and his older brother was gassed bad by Chlorine and shot as he spent most his time in Ypres. He passed away from complications in 1919, he had bad lungs and his verve’s were shot! My great grandfather was a sweet old man, he never even swore, my grandmothers younger brother Gerald asked him once what happened to his uncle Oliver during WW1, he said, it was the only time my father ever snapped at me and told him, Oliver died a horrible death and never bring him and the Wars up again! My grandfather fought with the 1st Canadian Division, as grandchildren we were taught never talk about it! Eventually when my grandfather was older and I became extremely close to him, he started to open up, I even went and toured places he fought in 2005 with him before he passed, he couldn’t enter a town in Holland cause he had fought there, he told me the story of why and we did not go into the town and I understood why he didn’t like to talk about it! He was 17 when he went overseas and admitted that they killed German prisoners, he was not happy to admit it! Both these wars were brutal on all sides, not just the Canadians, the Canadians were just better at it, the Germans did their best as well!

As a Canadian, Canada just wanted the job done and head back home

[oranganewton]

As a Canadian let me explain something, we aren’t polite, we’re passive aggressive and looking for an excuse
Normal day: I’m sorry
Hockey: You’re sorry
Lacrosse: You’re dead
War: blood for the Bood God!

Went from being savages during ww to being passive now

[Your_Avery_Equestrain]

Germany: “ let’s make peace Canada! “
Canada: “ you talking to me? “

[batboy]

Thing is Canadians are nice till they are not.

[Fanumtaxer]

Now:I’m sorry

1915: *Y O U R S O R R Y*

There's many different reasons why canadians were like that in trench warfare. There's the story of a Canadian soldier being crucified by the Germans. Our home in canada was relatively quiet and peaceful until the war disrupted it all as Canada is apart of the British Commonwealth. Canadian troops showed little to no mercy to those they saw as the instigators to the war, canadian troops held the trenches more often then the british or french. We used gas attacks as often as we could, notoriously known for constant trench raiding, and due to food supply shortages they saw no need to capture prisoners or to help enemy wounded.
