As a Canadian, I know we have a good military record from the world wars and a lot to be proud of. I'd like to know if we were really as exceptional as we see ourselves from within Canada (at least as seen in documentaries about the wars). Thanks.
I think this thread might interest you. The Germans/Central Powers/Axis thought nothing special of Canadian troops in either world war, they considered them just another kind of Tommies from another part of the British Empire, however, as /u/jonewer correctly points out, the Canadian Corps was unique in WW1. In very brief summary, yes, Canadian troops preformed well in both wars but so did troops from almost all British dominions/provinces/territories.
