Canadian War Museum

A slight way away from downtown is the Canadian War Museum. This features history on all confilicts that Canada has taken part in. A lot of these conflicts were in the aid of Britain so the history is quite similar, just given from a Canadian Perspective. There is a new exhibit on Afghanistan which is a controversial subject for the Canadian people. It does feature some of the phone called by people stranded in the Towers on 911 which are pretty horrible and moving. The main features in the building are the Great Wars and also some of the more historical wars in Canada's early history. There are lots of exhibits and also some people with old 19th Century rifles and doctors bags with all the equipment they used to hurt soldiers some more. I particularly didn't like the look of the saw used for amputations (without anaesthetic of course!). There also is a memorial Hall which has 1 of the Unknown Soldiers graves in it and not much more.
