I fully acknowledge the importance of Canada's involvement in fighting the Nazis, although it is hardly because we were the next domino to fall to Nazi rule. Nonetheless, you are confusing what I mean about fighting for democracy. How long after the Nazis were defeated were First Nations in Canada given the right to vote?
Some of the bravest people in the world are little girls who insist on going to school or gay men who aren't afraid to hold hands in public. The fight for rights does not begin or end on the battlefield.
