Canada is not strong enough to have anything to win by waging wars. That's different with the US (see that after WWII the US nbever launched a war aginst an enemyassumed to be of equal military potency). Also, the US was/is driven by a missionising spirit to turn the rest of mankind into something functioning by the american model. the British empire once behaved like that, too. although in the end it was not about civilising all mankind by British standards, but about: wealth, economic dominance, and power.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to see every challenge or problem as a nail.
