So of the five D-Day beached Juno was the Canadian one.
Juno had the highest casualty rate of any beach, including Omaha. Omaha lost more men total because more landed there.
On Juno the losses were almost entirely due to mines destroying landing craft. The terrain was pretty flat so once the troops hit land the fighting wasn't as impossible as Omaha.
