Remember when Serbian terrorists killed Franz Ferdinand and our first reaction was to hoist up a Serbian flag? Or all those times we flew the Irish tricolour after some IRA attack? I can still remember us singing the Iraqi national anthem in 1991.

Strange, I seem to recall that the US attacked and destroyed the nation of Franz Ferdinand... that seems to be a little more than waving a Serbian flag.
To connect those two events like that implies that you believe the US responded to the assassination with force.
Clearly, they didn't. In fact, the assassination had pretty much nothing to do with the US, specifically, joining the war outside of the fact that it started the war in the first place.
The US joined after the Zimmerman telegram because they thought the Germans were trying to re-ignite the Mexican-American war not because some Serbian got whacked.

What timeline are you from? One where the US entered WWI long before 1918? Maybe, right after the assassination?
Don't put words in my mouth. I never implied it was immediately.

This is about Canada, not the US.
I didn't know that Canada joined the Central powers. When was that? What battles were fought on the US-Canada front?
Just a semantic correction.
