So this is why canada cant afford a navy

[Mush Martin]

To our cousins to the south, if my last post was in any way offensive
it wasnt really meant to be.

Canadians seem to hold a feeling of "well yes were capable of it, but we dont need to do it during peacetime armies are for wartime"

We tend to look with the eyes of the underachiever at you guys.

it doesnt mean we cant fight it just seems we actively try to avoid it.

and like appeasment of the approach to ww2 we dont want any force building to provoke anybody and change them from friend to enemy.

their is much in the american penchant for nationalism that canada could use.

and You guys very very respectably actively support your military.

that last point is starting to come along here now for the first time
in my life.

Canada and the US are like siblings, and I believe that america looks
at canada like an undercapable underachieving younger sibling

just like when you look at your youngest brother at home.
