Default Canadian contributions

Many Canadians are constantly incredulous to discover that, of the five D-Day beaches, one was a Canadian show. This is our own fault. Although members of this forum are knowledgeable of Canada's war-time contributions, and most Canadians knew that we did well overseas, we have not won (or even fought) the propaganda war that the UK and US have. This can be partially blamed on our lack of movie productions detailing the "Canadian Story".
When the world is bombarded with Private Ryan and with bridges too far in their corner theatre but nothing about Dieppe, Caen, The Netherlands, Canloan, RCAF Group 6, RCN in the North Atlantic, Canadian MTBs in the Med, Cdn Engineers in Gibraltar, RCAF fighter squadrons in Europe, and many other great stories then we can only blame ourselves.
