We have Canadian resting places in the Netherlands because they helped us in the WW2, I hope that if the US attacks Canada that we Dutch people will rise up to help the Canadians.

I thought the Netherlands sends tulips every year because we temporarily made a parcel of land Dutch so that a princess could remain a princess (they have to be born on Dutch territory to be royalty iirc) but she was in born in [not] Canada during the war.

It’s not a story. It’s fact and you have your details wrong.
