New WW2 Discoveries

[Tripp]

I know this is a shaky topic among many communities, but I feel that we should dawn some light on the subject of the Holocaust. The startling new evidence that has arisen is quite controversial as well as surprising. As a history teacher, this is quite a shock to hear, and I can imagine the kid's faces when they hear about this next semester.

From what our history books tell us, the Nazi regime was the main catalyst in WW2. They were absolutely terrible people - no doubt. What they did to the Jewish peoples is unforgivable & horrific. Many scars still stand today. However - the Nazis weren't just the Germans. Sure, many of the countries that the Germans allied with were also a part of the Nazi reign, but there was one country that joined their forces under secrecy. Canada joined the German Nazis in 1938. It wasn't very well known, as they only sent a few forces over & it was confidential. Over the next few years, they sent over many more forces. By 1943, Canada had sent over 200,000 troops to the German Nazis.

From further study into Nazi documents, historians have discovered that the Canadian troops that were sent, almost 65% of them were used in concentration camp management. Altogether, Canadian troops filled the slots of 43% of all concentration camp troops enlisted. When asked to comment, the Canadian Prime Minister said "No comment". Many countries have asked Canada about this horrific find, & are still awaiting a response. Meanwhile, the world waits.

What do you guys think about this? Should Canada be punished along with what the Germans, Italian, & Japanese received?

Personally, I think that Canada should at least apologize for this. To hear that my friends up North were a part of the horror known as The Holocaust is terrifying. I can't imagine what this will do to Canada's economy.

That's interesting, but is there a source?

Um, this.  Could make for a good debate if it's actually true, but I wouldn't recommend making Su h drastic statements without a solid source.  If you have one, please bring it to us

I'm calling bullshit until I see said "Nazi documents."

[Perpetual Change]

I just googled "Canada Secretly Supported the Nazis" and nothing turned up.

But Canada did give us Chad Kroeger and Celine Dion, so maybe Tripp isn't just making it up.

[XJDenton]

I googled "Canada Holocaust", "Canada concentration camps" and  avariety of related terms and nothing directly related, let alone reliable came up. So yeah, unless you can provide a decent source for these claims I'm skeptical of their truth.

[ReaPsTA]

But I can't possibly read information on the internet that's unreliable and unsupported by trustworthy sources. 

[GuineaPig]

This is 100% bullshit.

[Quadrochosis]

lol

[El JoNNo]

If you are a history teacher I feel for your students.

There was an article on Fox about this, somewhere on this site: https://www.foxnews.com/

[7StringedBeast]

This is obviously not true.  If it was, it would be all over the news.

[GuineaPig]

And it would be entirely incomprehensible that it would take this long for historians to uncover that Canada, a part of the British Empire, was secretly manning German concentration camps with 2% of its total population.

That proves that it's not true.

Given your avatar, your post completely cracked me up.

Or how the faked numerous campaigns against the Nazi's during WW2.

[Adami]

I couldn't find anything on the fox website.

[Perpetual Change]

If it was on the Fox website, it probably means that it's definitely not true and blown way out of proportion.

[lateralus88]

I'm currently looking for the source again, but I read a pretty detailed report about these goings on during WW2. I'll have to check the super secret archives again though.

As a Jew, I know every conspiracy there needs to be known about WW2.

If the Canadians were helping Germany, they had an awful unusual way of showing it:
1) Canada was used as the area for training British pilots
2) Canada helped take control of North Africa and Italy
3) Canada was part of the invasion of Normandy

With friends like that, you don't need enemies

Just wait for the right conspiracy theorist.  They'll find a way to use your factual evidence that makes their theory look stupid as "factual evidence" that proves their theory right, somehow.

Or they'll pull the reptilian card.

[zxlkho]

Holy lol. Epic thread.

[slycordinator]

Oh and, they gave food, money, and supplies to the British before they were able to build up a functioning Army and Navy.

And...

I must say, though I don't believe a word of this theory, Steven Harper does seem like quite the slinky mofo.

Don't get me started.

[YtseBitsySpider]

We didn't help the Nazis, that is completely ludakris.
But.
We're not so shiny clean as we like to claim.


We treated our Japanese citizens VERY badly, putting them in camps very similar to concentration camps, completely displacing families, seizing assets and land(and never returning them).

also.

We love to rail on and on about Canada being the last stop on the underground railroad saving US black slaves from the South. Ya....maybe they got here and were free...but they didn't get much more than a kick in the balls when they arrived Often white Canadians refused to sell them, or give them anything that would help them, and the farm land they were given to use wouldn't grow rocks in winter. Welcome to Canada.

and finally....

During the Cold War, when it was suggested that evil red commies would come into our country through the North it was thought to be a great idea to displace a couple thousand Inuit (eskimos) and their families 1000 miles northward to make it "look like" Canada had some kind of presence there. A thousand miles is apparently quite the difference up north. There was no food. Most of them died.

These wonderful stories are left out of every single school history book, and you don't hear much talk about it.

[GuineaPig]

You're forgetting the big one: residential schools.  Massive blight on our history.

[YtseBitsySpider]

....and still ongoing....

[MasterShakezula]

Please elaborate.  Being a citizen of the Republic of California, I know slightly less than jack about most of my neighboring country, the US, letalone  Canada.

[YtseBitsySpider]

I believe we forced kids, mostly from native families to send their children to schools,(completely removing them from their homes on the reserves) in an attempt to brainwash/teach them our ways, unlearn their "native" ways and so on. While there, many(most) of them were thoroughly abused sexually.

[GuineaPig]

Residential schools were a series of schools set up to "civilize" Native Americans and convert them to Christianity.  They were run mostly by the Catholic Church, as well as various Anglican denominations.  Indian children were forced to attend, often taken from their parents, in an attempt to assimilate them into "white" culture before they became adults.  Residential schools were poorly funded, and relied on the labour of the children, and the poor health care there meant that in some schools mortality rates over the five year term were as high as 50%.  Sexual and physical abuse was rampant, and without means of oversight or punishment.

The last school was closed in 1996, and about 150,000 children attended in total over the 100+ years they were in operation.  The Canadian government formally apologized in 2008 and initiated a compensation package for the surviving victims.  The Catholic Church is yet to formally apologize.
