Then they don't have to spend any money on their military, which they don't. Imagine if Canada spent as much, GDP-wise, on their military as we do. Canada would be broke.

Time for a noth amwrican history lesson....
End of world war two... major nations have HUGE military buildup left after then end ogf the war. Each nation must now decied what to do next and how to rebuild there industrial infrostructure. USSR, perhaps the hardest hit allied super power, decieds to never again let there countrie be subject to invasion by a forgin power and votes to expand there millitary muscle. Brittian decieds to remain haveing a strong millitary, yet having being hit hard themself must rebuild the majority of the industrial base as well. The United States whoes indutrial base thrived from the war, who also has the only nukeular capabillites, maintains itself as the formost super power. The united states also decieds to withold the atom bomb tech from its eastern allies. Canada votes to downgrade the military and wer builf the indutrial base back to the pre war state realizing its ally to the south will retain its super power status and is the best soulition to the US/Canadian simbiotic relationship.
A couple years later an uneasy russion nation knows it cannot defend its borders against this new atom technologies uses covert means in stealing the tech from the canadian government who is now helping the USA secure the north american contenet. Russian gov. now builds its own nukeular sheild against an american attack.. as have the american against a russian attack... two, now perinoid governments after WW2, build there armys to prevent there border from being threatend as in WW2. Enter the cold war..
The moral is.. if you have two big bullies on the same street.. they talk alot of shit to each other.. but chances are eventually they will likely fight for who runs the shit. Now emagine Russia downgrade its armies and canada had decided to grow its war machine...
So dont go waveing your military supiriority around cause it could have been alot diffrent. When people relize Canada an the US, aside from certain cultural diffrence, are practicly the same. Be glad you have what you have and be proud. Fuck the ignorant, when someone starts bashen on your nation instead of sayen shit to boost about your self, think fuckem, letem wallow in there own ignorance.
BTW our Prime minster is a tool imho
