Canada: We Don't Stand on Guard for Thee

Canada is an unmitigated embarrassment; a spoiled little prom queen preening and posturing about her greatness ... or worse yet, an uppity little hobbit taking pride in being better than the neighbour, when in reality there are some things Canadian that should be a source of national embarrassment.

I speak of course, about Canada’s national effort in things military. I don’t speak of course, about the men and women in uniform who are as courageous as any who have ever worn the maple leaf and who are as capable as any of their peers the world over...

I can’t help but believe that the only way that Canada gets away with her woeful military effort is because she lives next door to the greatest military power of all time, and that she can rely on American power in times of need. America, in fact, makes it possible for Canada to spend little on her military...

In a very direct way, that’d make Canada a parasite, and America the host. How fitting, that our national bird is the Canada Goose ... which flies South each year to poop on the US of A.
