Does she know what the US was doing hundreds of years ago ?

Beheading loyalists by the thousands, probably.

While I fervently wish we spent more on defence, the US will NEVER look at us as anything close to an equal - we're considered a virtual client state by most American administrations, no matter how much "contribution" we make.

Absent a competent military Canada will inevitably find itself in the same predicament as Ukraine does today. I've consistently stated on CKA that Canada's relationship with the USA is always one Presidential election away from a problem.

And in this case the Presidential election in question may have been in 2012.

I'm not saying that Obama will go all Canadian Bacon on you, but it'd be foolish to rule it out and it'd be foolish to think he won't kick you to the curb if it suits his anti-white, anti-colonial sentiments.

Canada needs an adequate defense to deter potential aggression from the US, not to mention to fulfill its NATO obligations.

But when I can get out on Interstate 5 and see a convoy of CF troops that represents a solid percentage point of your total forces that's not a good thing. It's also bad for your culture in general not to foster the military arts and the manly culture that comes with it. Fey countries never fare well in the real world.

We will never hope to compete with the US on the conventional front. We would require a population at least 3-4 times larger than our current.

Granted, on the asymmetrical front, we already have your surrounded .

A few nukes woul;d be a good deterrant to Russia.

I think it's safe to say that the people who signed the Declaration of Independence were anti-colonialist too.

It's already begun, our insurgents are eroding your civilization from within as we speak.

They didn't start out that way. To the contrary, they adamantly sought to be full participants in the British system. That's what got the ball rolling on an independence that most of them reluctantly acknowledged as being their only choice.

Canada held it's own as a member of NATO in Afghanistan an example would be operation anaconda.

Thanos Thanos:

The problem is that the professional frightened bunnies that succeeded in launching the 2003 invasion of Iraq ("if we don't get rid of Saddam, Al Qaeda will be marching down Pennsylvania Avenue by Christmas time!") are hard at work making ISIS out to be the next official equivalent-to-Hitler that, by golly, determined to come and nuke Main Street, USA.

FOX folks don't say anything by mistake. This is all part of the same plan they used the last time. The option of doing small things is rapidly running out and they'll be forcing doing a big thing, like the full investment of US military power into the region all over again. Plus another big capital gains tax cut of course for our job creators! America can't survive without one!

So you're saying that the current White House crowd is gonna do exactly the same thing the previous White House crowd did?

How's that for irony. You can change the President, you can change the party but you can't change the policies.

Who's really running Washington because apparently it isn't the Presidents?

A lot depends on how one chooses to remember things.

Any reference to the actions of a religion or culture before the year 1900 is an absolute moot point since all of humanity was a bunch of barbaric pricks.

Great, so by that logic we owe the Natives NOTHING for what happened prior to the 20th century, right?

I see no reason why she should apologize. Seeing IS herd men to their death like they were animals to be slaughtered says a lot about their mindset. I also don't think that we can all just sit them down round the campfire and talk about our feelings.

A bullet is all they understand at this point.

ISIS was around hundred's of years ago? IT's the usual all Muslims are the same crap. Look back hundreds of years, I'm sure we'll find plenty of skeletons in Christian countries closets.
