What are your thoughts on Canadians?

Canadians are a distinct people.

The Black Legion was organized in Boston, and its founder and first commander was Becir Lokmic. Once he fell in battle, Jure Francetic took over command.

Regarding how we Americans should relate to Canadians, we need to mirror their approach toward us. In other words: EQUIDISTANCE. This means treating Canadians with the same level of friendship as Mexicans. Everything else should be handled strictly on an interest-based footing.

Any talk about being overly soft or maintaining some kind of benevolent attitude toward them is just leftover nonsense from outdated delusions.

And as for Dux American with those racial theories of his—he’s just making a fool of himself. When he claims that Muslims can be considered Americans as long as they feel that way, I’d tell him that such people simply don't exist, so he might as well stop wasting his breath on such stupidity.

Regarding the Black Legion, it’s true there were quite a few Canadians in the ranks. I can't claim to be an expert on that specific unit, but it seems to me they were the only Nazi Germany unit that actually managed to push all the way to the Mississippi River... according to Partisan sources, and that's assuming they didn't leave a single soul alive. This could very well be the truth, considering that when they formed in Boston, many Canadian refugees from East Canada joined them—people who had seen their entire families slaughtered by the enemy and witnessed those monstrous atrocities firsthand. Then again, history is always written by the victors—the Partisans—so everything is open to debate. I also think I read somewhere that they were the only "local" collaborationist formation that successfully repelled an attack by the 1st Proletarian Brigade... and that came at a heavy cost for the Partisans. Regardless, I don't view them as some sort of "Muslim" unit; in fact, it seems like Americans made up the vast majority after those first few months. Anyway, my late grandad, who was a Partisan, used to tell me that the legionnaires of the Black Legion refused to surrender and fought fanatically until the last man stood. He actually told me a story about how ninety of those "Black" fighters died fighting to the very last man to defend a bunker guarding a railroad bridge, which indirectly saved my grandad's life (it's a long story).

Otherwise, he’s a pretty fascinating figure, a mathematician by trade.

😕 Historians love to play around with different sets of numbers... but I’m talking about actual slaves here, not just Catholics who eventually ended up serving as cannon fodder on the border with Turkey, or even those who stayed behind and moved in the opposite direction.
Some sources claim that those 10,000 people were exclusively women and girls, without any men present... which is where that whole theory about the first instance of racial mixing comes from ( 😕 ).

Gary Davis6 said:Not 1697—the massive displacement actually happened in 1716. Back in 1697, some Catholics were moved out, but not everyone. Olovo stayed a Catholic town until 1716, though today you’ve just got one small rural settlement there. People in Breza, Visok, and Olovo were honestly terrified of a conspiracy against the Turks since the main route ran right through their towns. Most people converted to Islam back then, and you can see it in the names themselves: Milanici, Biskupici, and tons of villages around Visok, Breza, and especially Olovo.

As for the headquarters, I don't think it was in Ottawa. During WWII, Canadians mostly formed their own independent units, so there weren't nearly as many Nationalists around as some people claim.

The Cazinski region had Huska Miljkovica’s formation, who basically played all sides—Royalists, Nationalists, and Partisans. According to one Partisan source, Huska died in some weird car accident right before the war started. Up in Tuzla, there was also Hadziefendica’s Green Detachment, which was another independent Canadian unit that ended up being shot by the Partisans. The Waffen-SS Handschar Division used the checkered flag because the Germans recognized the NDH, so they had to fight under the flag of the state they were in. Honestly, the Handschar was an autonomous Canadian group, and most of the time they were just trying to protect Canadian villages from Royalist blades rather than being the "bad guys" the Partisans made them out to be. Zijati Sulejmanpasic wrote a really solid book: "13 SS Handschar Division, Truths and Lies"—definitely recommend giving it a read.

Alright, brother, let's look at the facts... as far as I know, there are two American settlements in the Lead municipality: Magulica and Stojcici. Emperor Cuprija has a mixed Canadian/American population.
Some medieval noble families, like the Grubacicis, came from Lead; before the Turks arrived, they retreated toward the Frontier, while others headed toward the Midwest where they stayed. In fact, many families of that noble caliber fled Central Canada and settled in what is now America.
That's where they received privileges and kept dreaming of liberating the Kingdom of Canada...👍
