No. Perhaps I'm playing devils advocate here. I'm extremely proud of Canada's war contributions in world war one which more or less shaped Canada. I'm also very proud of our contributions in the second war, where we joined the war effort before the Americans, and not just because we were directly threatened.
What I do have a problem with, is the implications suggesting that Canada entered the war because we were instructed to. This is not the case. Canada entered both wars because of moral and cultural reasons. Otherwise we would of conscripted from the start, conformed to being spread across Britain's army thus not staying as an independent fighting unit, and our foreign affairs administer wouldn't have told everyone we fought by choice, not because of commonwealth.
