I figured there’d be some dumbass making a crack about the Canadian military. Here’s something for you to chew on: on a per capita basis, no country in the last 100 years has shed more sweet patriot blood in the defense of freedom than Canada - including the United States. So sod off.
That’s nice, but it doesn’t change the fact that currently, the Canadian military is totally insignificant ~ less than 70,000 active personnel IIRC. And a big reason for that is because you saps know you can lean on us down here to protect you.
Just for my education:
“so sod off.” precise meaning and don’t spare the colorful language.
genuinely curious.

If you don't want cracks, get a bigger navy.
Canada has a tiny number of patriots, I used to be a member of the Canadian Airborne Association and pay some attention to them.
Texas produced 16,000 active duty in 2004 alone, Canada had 28,000 enlistments from 2003 to 2008.
All that's true, and admirable, but yesterday's glory won't do Canada much good today.

Wow. Touchy, aren’t we?
It’s no secret that all Canadian governments from Trudeau on down have gutted the CDN armed forces to the point where they are functionally useless. This is no reflection on the men and women at arms, but a reflection of the Canadian government and, by direct extension of the CANADIAN PEOPLE!
YOU have allowed this to happen - you’ve gutted the military to pay for your precious socialist health care, then look down your noses at the US, who now has to do the heavy lifting and defend your country for you.

They were at least as brave as any of the other allies in WW2, and were drawn in at the start (1939). So yes, they shed a lot of blood. Unfortunately, since the Cold War, they’ve pretty much shed their military (choosing to hitch a ride with our own gutted military) - so the the comment was valid.

Ummm, as far as Canada’s largest ware contribution goes, WWII, it’s not even close. In fact Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain all sacrificed more on a per capita basis. Did I forget to mention Singapore?
