Can you imagine how fast the Soviet Union would have taken over those lazy, worthless, socialist, weasels in Canada during the Cold War? They sat on their a$$'s and let the USA defend them.

yes, amazing how much you can spend on social programs when an army is unneeded due to big brother protecting you.

What a bunch of crock.
Firstly, Soviet strategy was based on substitute wars and salami tactics. Canada neither bordered the USSR, nor do they have a communist neighbour that could stand in.
Secondly, they are separated by the largest ocean on the planet, their coastline north of Vancouver is non-conducive to troop movements, and the whole operation would be a logistical nightmare. Let alone that the required troop movements would show up on the screen months before an actual attack.
Finally, being the second-largest country in the world poses some major problems to any aggressor. The only country that has ever attacked Canada was the US and we have tried it more than once.
This "we are defending Canada" is such old regurgitated BS.

It's becoming clear that a lot of the countries we were protecting from communism were not really on our side in the battle.
