I believe the use of 'storm troopers' to refer to the Canadians dates back to the First World War, when they were considered to be among the best assault forces on the Entente side.

From Wikipedia:
Stormtrooper, A German name for the Canadian Expeditionary Force soldiers of World War 1.

And also referenced by a few Canadian Made History Documentaries on World War 1, Vimy Ridge, Ypres and Amiens to name a few battles of Canadian National importance.

Victor Odlum

The organization and their tactics of "storm troops" and trench raiding parties were developed by Victor Odlum in the 1st Canadian division in 1915. The Canadian Corps later instructed officers of the French army in these new tactics.[1]. May 1915 was the same time as the Second Battle of Ypres - the first major impact made by Canada on the war. The Germans were so impressed by the Canadian resistance they referred to the Canadians as stormtroopers and then used the term for their own infiltration units. The tactics developed by the Germans both on the offense and defense in WWI are still in use today, in one form or another.

Thanks for the counter Froonp [&o]

Is that referring at the battle where the Germans used mustard gaz on the allies, the french & english were retreating, the germans were doing a breakthrough, but they fell on canadians who were shooting at them and well ahem, puking at the same time.

That's the one, but the Germans deployed chlorine gas in that battle. I recently read Baptism of Fire by Nathan M. Greenfield - an excellent book on the subject.
