I have often heard Americans criticize Canada for not having a bigger military, and supposedly relying on the US to defend it's borders.

But no one ever says WHO we are defending against. Russia is hardly a threat with the single Bear that manages to make it off the ground and somehow to the coast of the North West Territorys once a year. North Korea is a long way away and hardly knows we exist, they might hit northern BC if their missile overshoots Alaska.

The biggest threat I can think of is the USA, in which case the canadian military is pretty much fucked no matter how many f35s we have.

so why really have a military at all?

You took a beach on D-Day. Don't be a self hating pussy.

The northwest passage bud were gonna need a larger air force and navy to handle that. Russia will definitely fuck with that.

Canada has NATO and NORAD obligations.

You need a bigger military in case Alaska gets drunk and wants to hit you.

>>35026190
To fulfill our legal obligations to Nato. And Trumps right, we've been slacking off (thanks to Trudeau senior & successive govts) we need to buck up and do our share of the load.

Also sovereignty patrols. The Russian bear, the Danes, & couple of others are laying claim to our arctic region.

They might have numbers and technological superiority but Canadians are smarter in general in terms of variety in knowledge.

tl;dr they get one specialty and they stick with it by the sounds of it. So yeah they may have more shit but we are good for augmenting larger forces because we're smarter. Stop being some kind of defeatist faggot

Having a broader spectrum of tasks because of inherently less specialized roles doesn't necessarily mean smarter, dude.
And before you get mad I'm canadian too.
