    Explanation: Despite the American perception of Canadians as mild and polite folk, in all of the wars of the 20th century they participated in, Canadians went hard as fuck. Sometimes admirably so (the ‘bite-and-hold’ tactic of WW1, their conduct killin’ Nazis in WW2, especially exceeding their goals taking Juno Beach on D-Day), sometimes… frighteningly so (pretending to gift enemy Germans in WW1 tins of food, only to toss grenades instead; the war crimes in Somalia which led to Canada itself deciding its military culture was out of control and needed massive reform)

    We can come up with some pretty inventive ways to kill people. Horribly. While laughing.
