So you're saying Canada should have followed the USA's lead and followed a policy of isolationism?
And it isn't like we had a choice - at that time the entire Commonwealth was technically automatically at war as soon as Great Britain declared it. It wasn't until the Statute of Westminster in 1931 that Canada was able to decide if we were at war.
