I think it's a reasonable assumption that if the US fell, someone with an actual military may decide Canada looks pretty good... Oil and moose and shit...

No one If US told Canada to fuck off and Canada had to step up to the plate there is no one that could threaten Canadian sovereignty during the time it would take for Canada to restructure its military doctrine. Nobody...not Russia, definitely not China...nobody. (except the US lol) That's they state of the world and its been that way for close to a century. North America is a bitch of a continent to mount offensive operations against and the only folks with a chance are Ruskies. Fortunately for Canada, Russia's shell of a military can't even handle bearded people right on their own turf. China is a regional power and will be for a very, very long time. The only people who seriously consider China to be a global threat are those trying to boost defense indusrty stocks and evangelical magazine subscriptions. |

Well MAYBE my example was a bit extreme. but the principle is there. If you spent the amount of $$$ that we do on military, your taxes would double. Thank God our present government thinks its a great idea to get massive loans from China to pay for it.
