I don't know why, but this reminds me of a story I heard (I'm in storytelling mode). I can't remember who told me this, but basically, the person told me that he was at a comedy club one night and the American comedian noticed that the canadian crowd had a fellow that was wearing his canadian army uniform. I guess the comedian made some joke to him along the lines of "Thanks for all your help in WWI and WWII. Thanks for the sandwiches".

So the canadian guy just took the comedian to town and set him straight about Canadian contribution to "the good side" of those wars.
Apparently the comedian was booed off the stage.
