Of course not.

And as we all know, the most important non-military symbol of Cadia is the maple leaf.

I thought Cadians were kind of the "generic" more plausible sci-fi style future army guys. As opposed to the Vostroyans, which are specifically Blanche-styled bizarro, and all the other factions (Mordians, Tallarn, Pretorians, Catachans) which are specifically modeled after various real world/fictionalized (Catachans in their t-shirts) militaries.

Lol, blanche style bizarro hehe
I thought cadians were a mixture of colonial marines and starship troopers. All gw cultures seem to have a british accent, as seen in DOW. that sort of throws the american influence somewhat. The other regiment types are easier to identify as they seem to each be modelled on a distinctly real world example. Id be surprised if the cadians were based on canadians, canadians always seem really nice to me. Not that they werent one of the hardest fighting nations of both ww1 and 2, just doesnt strike me as the nation to fit into the grim future of the 41st millenium.
