I remember the first Remembrance Day Parade (1994) I was on where the military received applause it surprised me as I had never seen that before.
Until the last few decades few Canadian veterans wrote memoirs and most were negative. In addition some Canadian Generals wrote scornfully about their soldiers. Arthur Currie who was one of the greatest military minds Canada ever produced was Character assassinated for political reason that had nothing to due with the military.
I hope that in future Canada remains rightfully proud of the it accomplishments

Pat,
I have to confess that I am largely ignorant on Canadian history. What is the issue with Quebec, if I may ask?
