Heh. Canada owes their security to America. All Canadians must praise their neighbors to the north. Not. Canada is a pretty laid back country. They don't usually go looking for trouble like the US does, their military doesn't get involved in things unless it's UN business for the most part. Canada's military is small, but what's the point of having a large army if you're not at war? Canada doesn't have many enemies, and those that may be enemies don't have the resources to launch an invasion. So what's the point of massing an army? This is life, not a RTS like Command and Conquer (Although the US administration may lead you to believe otherwise).
Canada's healthcare and education systems are both failing due to poor choices and mismanagment of funds in other departments. While America is busy fucking other countries, Canada's government is busy fucking it's own people on both a federal and provincal scale in most locations. People are dying on waiting lists or in emergency rooms waiting 24 hours to see a doctor with life threatening illnesses, because all the doctors and nurses have moved to the US and other countries where they can make a far superior living to what they would working in Canada.
People should spend less time worrying about what other people think about them and their country and more time worrying about what kind of mess is being made in their own backyard.
Every passing day the idea of moving to Alaska or the Yukon and living in the wilderness away from the "civilized" world becomes more and more appealing.
