I am a Dutchman and my parents allways told me it was the Canadian Army who liberated the Netherlands in WW2.
Canadian troops fought in many, many battles. Far too many to simply list here. See the link below for an extensive list of the various battles Canadians were involved in.
D-DAY LANDINGS (June 6, 1944) Juno Beach - 21,400 Canadian troops were landed. 3rd Canadian Div.
The first Canadian soldiers were sent to Afghanistan in October of 2001, and this was done in secret. The next group of Canadian soldiers were sent to Afghanistan in January and February of 2002.

Canadians fought in the Battle of Neuve Chapelle but not as Canadian troops, they were an extension of the British troops but the first time they fought as Canadian troops was at the battle of Somme.
I just saw the movie and it was British and French troops there.

During World War 1 the abilities of the Canadian troops led to an emerging Canadian identity. Canadian divisions rapidly got a reputation for their bravery and determination, therefore people nicknaming them as "shock" or "storm" troops.
The Canadian (and British) troops were the main forces that secured Gold, Sword and Juno beachheads on D-Day.
