No, not much is usually said about Canada in the wars. Hell, we don't even hear all that much in Canada itself. In fact, I knew hardly anything about Passchendaele and the terrible cost involved. Usually, we hear about Vimy Ridge and Ypres. Apparently, the horrors of Passchendaele were played down because they were afraid it would have an adverse effect on recruitment.

I hope the movie will be available outside of Canada, even if it's only on DVD. As I was saying to windrose, it's not as grim and depressing as I thought it might be, though I do recommend a box of tissues. ;-)
