I'm not sure if you meant to exclude our armed forces envolvement in WWI/WWII. I for one would say that those were fights for freedom.....

If i may take a stab at interpretation, i think he was trying to say that Canadians on the home front haven't faced the dangers that europeans have and still do face on the home front: subjugation, ethnic cleansing, extreme fascism and possible eradication and de-nationalization. Canadians and Americans have no clue what these threats are all about (for that matter, neither do I, but my parents faced these fears head on in a post ww2 europe, and my grandparents in pre and post great war europe.)

We gave our troops in the fight against genocide during ww2, and i respect much of what was gained from that war.
