I thought it was "Help, My Canoe's Sinking!"

That's a good one. It's true, the Canadian military does come in for it's
fair share of mockery, and for good reason.

Having said that, when a serviceman dies, the Canadian government doesn't
pretend the death never happened. The Prime Minister actually attends and
pays his respects when the recovered body is returned home, and television
cameras are allowed to cover the dignified ceremony.

Contrast that to the American President, who sweeps the sacrifices of young
men under the rug, hides it from public view, makes no mention of the
sacrifice, instead using Orwellian rationale to "protect the family's
privacy," all the better to hide the truth and make fun of real Vets by
distributing purple bandaids.
