I'm sorry but that Canada no longer exists but in the memories of our father's and their father's memories. I was born the year they changed the flag and I have to say that it has been all downhill for Canada since 1965.
Since then we have had "socialism", "bilingualism", and "multiculturalism" rammed down our throats and any criticism of these 3 big Liberal ideologies only leads to cries of racism.
I have nothing but the deepest of respect for those Canadian's today who still choose the military considering the lack of support they get from their own government.
I wonder if a person joining the canadian military has any worry of the Canadian military being in ANY combat type situation. It would seem the only viable function the Canadian military can do is to provide personel for sitting at Norad radar screens. (after seeing the stories stating that Canada could not even mount help to the Tsunami victims.)
