In World War 1 Canada cut its teeth with Vimy, Passchendale stood out as defining moments.

In World War 2, there was the obvious Juno Beach Invasion. But Canadian's fought bravely at Dieppe, The bloody house to house fighting in Ortona, the battle of Scheldt that lead to the conscription crisis

In Korea we fought in Kapyang in Korea

After that we had the Medak pocket, and Panjawi

We've had many winners of the Victory Cross, we had a Presidential Unit Citation in Korea.

We made up half of the legendary First Service Brigadge. The PPCLI is considered a legendary Military Unit known by nearly every military in the world.

We've spawned some legendary leaders in McNaughton, Currie, Harry Crerar, "Mad Jimmy" Dextraze (considered one of our best soldiers) and Hillier. On the Naval Side Leonard Murray, Prentice, Dewolfe and Ken Summers.

On the Airforce side, we had Breadner and Curtis.

you look at the list of actual Canadian War Heros we had guys like Billy Bishop, William Barker, Tommy Prince

We might not be a country that puts our military at the forefront, but people know when Canadian's hit the field.
We might be tiny in terms of military power projection but we always always punch above our weight class.

Absolutely. I have to shake my head when people say that Canada's history is boring. We have a very interesting military history and we've always accomplished a lot despite many disadvantages.
