FYI
Canada's ended it Norway war task in 1989 with the disbandment of CAST or Canadian Air-Sea Transportable Brigade Group. It was determined that supporting two forces over the vast distances in Europe was unsound. Canada withdrew it forces and reinforced it german bases.
The only Canadian unit that would been in Norway would belong to Allied Command Europe Mobile Force - Land (AMF-l) but only if it had been comitted to action in Norway
The AMF-L was intended as a multinational force that could be quickly despatched to any part of Allied Command Europe's command area - from North Norway, to Germany, to eastern Turkey.
Canada's Committment to AMF-L was a single infantry battalion.
