Canada was not yet a country then, so they did not surrender in Canada so to speak.

Heh, you could say they haven't even surrendered to Canada yet.

Another intresting fact... actually lets make it a question:

Can you name 3 European capitals (cities) which were not conquered during WW2? (Excluding countries that did not participate in war)
