really? So you really think that we should spend 10 times more on our miltary to deal with even basic defence?
Honestly those who bitch about miltary spending should understand that we have it easy and get a free ride off of NATO, namely the US. |

war..what is it good for?
been there..seen it..never want to experience anything like it EVER again in my life time.
Personally I'd rather see all the military spending to be spent where it matters most; Hospitals, Doctors, healthcare, education, etc..
Conservatives didn't deliver on any of it IMO,
And Jay I think somehow U.S of A will always be there to come to the neighbor's rescue no matter who's in power. |

youd like to think so but the world isnt so merry when it isnt in writing. Thats why we have alliances, to ensure this. |

Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace. ~Charles Sumner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Sumner
and the only alliance we need is the U.S of A and we'll have it for many years to come regardless of who is running this country.
They need Canada and its massive untapped resources, so as long as we got what they need, they'll be around to protect us
my 3 cents |

Canada does has a nice amount of resources. We just sit in a bad spot... the south of us is the US, the west of us is China and the North we got Russia. Also don't forget the US tried to invade Canada a few centuries ago and they will try again.Those countries wont invade us for metals, but they will invade us for our fresh water. We could make water, but we need a load hydrogen and fire.
Canada pretty much a sitting duck. I would rather have Canada prepared for a conflict when it comes to us, then us being overrun by 1 of those 3 or all 3 of them at the same time. |

I was going to write "until they find it a necessity to attack and make us another Star on their flag."
but then I realized man they're so busy in 3402843 other conflicts that I don't think our turn will come anytime soon..lol |

| Why do you have to worry about something that "may" happen years from now? How about we try to fix the problems affecting the canadians today? |
