The day that we fold our military, is the day that we really need it. Canada has a long and strong military tradition. Hell, it's what built our national identity. I'm damned proud of our troops; not so much of our our politicians treat them.

We're one of the nations on Earth that could be truly self sufficient. We've got oil, uranium, fresh water, farm land coming out our asses.... Being insular isn't our way though.

Well it's not the Mexican government that gives us problems.

Saying Canada has a long and strong military tradition is like saying the US does. Hell, we barely been around for 200 years. We are rookies.

As long as we are here, you guys could just get away with a police force and that's the simple truth. If we go to shit as it appears we are heading, then you guys could use one.
