Look. Get it straight.
We've got moose; lots and lots of moose.
We've got cheese, too! Although we buy lots of yours 'cause it's cheaper, even with our miserable Hudson Bay pesos!
We have a dilapidated 'Armed Force', which, however ill-equipped and garbed, contains within it a great number of really, really mean guys.
One of my Air Cadet sons spent 3 weeks at Cold Lake taking 'survival' training. The regimen was harsh--for a week at a time they were plunged into the bush, with no rations or guns, to live off what they could kill with rocks and spruce-root snares; there are few edible plants in that area. There is a reason why Canadians have the reputation they earned in two World Wars; they were tough, hard-*ssed sonsofguns who had the 'unfortunate' reputation of taking few prisoners.
The Canadian Forces may not be big, but they're small! lol(redgreenjoke)
