Prudence and experience suggest that the Canadian Forces will be ordered to do in the next 10 years the same types of things that it has done in the past 10 years -- providing small and medium land, sea, and air combat units to use coercive means to help stabilize unruly parts of the world.

A nation that is incapable of defending itself is ine big trouble. A nation that cannot "help stabilize unruly parts of the world" is probably doing itself a favor.

Yeah, but… Canada has a $1 billion half assed registration of about half the guns held by it’s law abiding citizens.

All the wars that Canada participates in now are all what has come to be known as "Liberal Imperialism", using military power abroad to impose on other peoples programs that don't work at home. The very idea of acting in Canada's national interest is an anathema to the elites that control it. They detest their own nation, their own people, and even the idea of nationhood itself. The same is true in every country in the West, including the U.S., to a large degree. So really it is a good thing that Canada's military is weak as it discourages irresponsible and expensive-in-blood-and-money tilting at windmills by Cretin and the rest of the imperial cabal.

The only foreign policy evident in Canada is their throwing verbal insults at President Bush.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Canada: billions for gun control, but pennies for defense. There must be a country somwhere dumber than Canada, but I can't think of one offhand. Not even France is THAT stupid.

Believe it or not, the NYPD is larger, better armed, better led, and far more competent than the Canadian Army.

Current active strength data:

New York Police Department: 39,110
Canadian Army: 19,000

You can look it up.

Gawd I hope so.
