In my opinion, nonsense....A German submarine sank the SS Athenia passenger liner on 3 September 1939, the resulting deaths included 54 Canadians....Canada was a neutral country as Canada was not at war with Germany until the declaration of war on 10 September 1939....It was Japan that attacked Canadian troops at Hong Kong....Canada declared war on Japan as a result of that attack.....furthermore, with the fall of France in 1940, Canada was Britain's most important ally until the USSR entered the war after being attacked by Germany on 22 June 1941....
