 abstract={For over a hundred years, the main carrier of patriotism among Canadian Poles, next to the Polish Church, school or choir, was the uniform of a Polish soldier. This factor was wrongly underestimated in research on Canadian Polonia. Canada was a recruitment and training centre for the Blue Army and the Polish Armed Forces in the West, also playing an important role in promoting Polish affairs in America and strengthening the patriotic feelings of Polish Canadians. After 1945, Canada became a safe haven for thousands of Polish soldiers unable to return to communist-controlled Poland. The uniform and banner are an inseparable, often the most important element, of Polish national holidays and patriotic celebrations in Canada.},
