You obviously have no understanding of the Canadian military, and it's long history of fighting bravely and with the utmost professionalism. They continue to do so, despite the large amount of reductions in spending and equipment provisions, which depletes their ability to conduct campaigns, but it does not deplete their bravery.
In Passchendale, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Dieppe, Kapyong and in a host of peace keeping duties from Cyprus to Yugoslavia and East Timor, Canadians have fought and died bravely in defense of their Queen, Country, and Freedom.

I would say welcome aboard to Canada and any other country that wants to pitch in. I was always taught that when wading in a river and everything is going just fine, but then you step off in quicksand, you don't examine the rope that's been thrown to you. Your just damn glad someone was there to throw the rope.
