-Sir Wilfred Laurier was the first French-Canadian Prime Minister, and he had the idea of "sunny ways", which meant he would try to please everybody. He made a series of compromises to try and satisfy the imperialistic views of the English, and the anti-imperialistic views of the French.

However they weren't allowed to actually fight, they were just sent to the front lines to help out with some chores to free up men. They were called "Jill Canucks"

-The Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) was the first army force created to serve overseas in WWI, originally black Canadians and Aboriginals weren't allowed to join.
