I think Canada implemented conscription much later than the European countries, so in a lot of cases it would be volunteers versus conscripts. I wonder if Canada also had a less visible/rigid class system than Europe back then, that could cause a lack of sympathy for enemy soldiers who realistically had little choice in what they were doing. And obviously Canada isn't going to be holding on to any European territory, so the accomplishment of moving borders around would mean even less to them than the others.
