Don't knock the ability of Canadians to fight, and fight hard. Some of the best soldiers in the world come from Canada.

. . . Of course, many of these are smart enough not to join the Canadian armed forces. They go south and join the United States armed forces, instead.

Even (or perhaps especially) during the Vietnam War thousands of Canadians joined the US Army to fight our war because they believed in the cause. I believe that several hundreds of the names on the Vietnam Memorial were those of Canadians.

I think this really is a cautionary tale of how P.C. can destroy military preparedness.

"If Canada fails to make equivalent efforts, it will be an easier target.

Not to worry. Within another 20 years or so,it will be a suburb of China anyway,and the Chinese can protect their own people. Damn good thing too, since the Mexicans who will be running the US then ain't likely to help them,when they have all those new southern states to rebuild and support.

"Canada has a military??"

There was a thread here on Free Republic a few months ago about Canada's military saving a bunch of our troops in Afghanistan. America had 3 choppers one a Chinook full of troops grounded deep in Taliban territory by a sand storm. Visibility was greatly reduced. The Canadians have a fighting vehicle called a "Cayote" ( I'm guessing they pronounce it Ki-oat) that is similar to our Bradley, only the Cayote has some real bad ass night vision equipment.

The Canadians led a caravan of U.S. troops and found our choppers with their night vision gear. This enabled our troops to set up a perimeter around the choppers and protect the crew and the other troops.

"Cool! OK, They got oil, lumber, great fishing, great hunting and an angry rural population. I say we annex 'em and make a 51st. State!! Let's roll!"

Maybe then we could break them of that nasty habit of putting vinegar on their french fries!

( I'm guessing they pronounce it Ki-oat)

I say we invade now. There is some nice farmland in the central and western provinces and there are some rich oil and gas properties we could really use, and Vancover is nice. Plus, the Canadian Rockies sure are pretty.

Eastern Canada? Blech. Maybe take it over, then sell it back to the French for some nice bottles of wine.
