It’s ! in 1917 the men of the Corps attacked Vimy Ridge as part of the Allies’ spring offensive known as the Battle of Arras.

Take a moment to consider their courage and sacrifice.

On this day in 1917, all four divisions of the Canadian Corps mount a four-day assault on the German lines atop Vimy Ridge. Their victory becomes a widely celebrated moment for the young nation of Canada.

'They shall not grow old as we are left to grow old'

Today we remember the soldiers of the Canadian Corps who stormed Vimy Ridge; a fortification seemingly invulnerable to preceding assaults by allied forces.

We will remember them.

107 years ago today, the Battle for Vimy Ridge began. 3-days later the 4 Divisions of the Canadian Corps, fighting together for the first time, did what the British & French failed to do…they took the ridge.

Graeme Mitchell Chrystia Freeland Liberal Party You know all the government programs over the years put us where we are, right?
This is the time to put money back into average Canadian's pockets. That's where I want my tax dollars to go. If JT is the one to do it, then I will stand behind him.

“Yeah she might have doxxed someone but she has big titties-”
Shush. We did not go from Dunkirk Dieppe and Normandy to thirsting over a doxxer. Canada did NOT fuck up the Germans at Vimy Ridge for this to be allowed
