Canada's Minister of Defence. Now yes, he is a Sikh, so I suppose it could even be worse, and at least it is a man.

Where it's winter 50 weeks a year.
Sikhs have a very rich and proud military tradition in India. Canada could do a lot worse.

...and their men are universally pussies.
Gee, thanks for the insult.
They cannot competently own military equipment and their men are universally pussies.
I would advise you not sharing your opinion with the brave Canadians who flew with RAF during the Battle of Britain, nor with the gallant Canadian’s who waded ashore on 6 June, 1944..

“We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.”
Canada has such men.

You obviously don't follow hockey.
Training back in the day with RCAF at Cold Lake, Alberta. Great, competent, dedicated people all the way around.
Why indeed? And why worry when the worlds most powerful military is on your southern border standing a post?
And the taxes. Don’t forget the taxes, eh?
