is often connected to 1963.....the year JFK was shot.  The creators of the movie "Dirty Dancing" seem to agree with me on this one, as they chose that year for setting of the 1987 hit movie for that particular reason.  Jennifer Grey's character was named "Baby" for that reason as well.

theory that 1963 symbolizes the fall from innocence.  IT's not just Hollywood.

... in response to Any Canadians in Europe, posted by curt on Feb 4, 2001

Canada had its own military by then.  If you want any information on Canada's involvement in WWII, I suggest that you check out this site:

Canada liberated Europe from Nazi Germany??? Now I have heard everything.  That ranks right up there with Gore inventing the internet.

Actually, many americans crossed the boarder in to Canada
to join the military before the US had declared war.

And plenty of Candian forces were right there on the bloody beaches of D-day.

That's because Canada was not led by Eisenhower.

Canada, England, and France were all led by Eisenhower. (The supreme commander of all Allied forces in the European theater) Think they though up storming Juno Beach themselves?

No one said they fought under the US flag. You just claimed that Canadians weren't led by Eisenhower, which is not true. I don't think anyone here is belittling the contribution all of the Allied soldiers made, paid for in blood, including the Canadian Army. That being said, Curt is also right that the Canadians went to Europe mostly on American made ships and airplanes, and went into battle carrying American made weapons with American made ammunition. This is not to be taken as any disparagement to Canada, it's simply that the American industrial capacity was so large relatively speaking to any other allies at that time, that war material was being made in the US for all the allies in a concerted effort.

As for entering the war before the US, of course, parts of Canada were still British colonies (like Newfoundland) and England entered the war in when Germany attacked - the Battle of Britain. America entered as soon as it was attacked as well, except that was in 1941.

Uhhhhhh Newfoundland wasn't part of Canada at all in 1939...you can't say that it was.  What Ottawa did in 1939 had nothing to do with Newfoundland.  IT just wasn't part of Confederation. Besides, we didn't enter the same day Britain did.  Though Canada was and still is part of the British Commonwealth, what goes on there has pretty much nothing to do with what goes on here

I didn't say Newfoundland was a part of Canada in 1939. I said is was a British colony.

Are you sure you're an Asian Canadian? You evaded the actual point with an expertise I've only seen in  American women. LOL! Ok, we've had our fun. Now I'm done but I know you won't be able to resist the last word so go ahead...

Your post made it sound like Canada had to enter the war when Britain did, which is not true.
