context: Canadians in WW1 had a rep for being absolute menaces on the battlefield. They’d toss these tins of Fray Bentos corned beef at the Germans, who’d think they were getting a free meal. Plot twist: the cans were actually grenades. The Germans never saw it coming. That’s why the Canadian Corps was so feared.
The Geneva Conventions were basically written as a “List of things we want Canada to never do again”.
