And your "socialist government" could give a shit about its military forces when the most powerful nation on the planet is on your southern border and you are in very good standings. Seriously, why would you spend a dime on a real military? That's not what socialists governments do, well, except to protect themselves, the socialist politicians.
I humbly disagree with your comment about not having a "real military". While we are not as large as the US military, we are highly trained and extremely capable given our resources and should never be underestimated. We do train with US Forces and from what I understand, the exercises are never a wash with US or Canadian victories. Our snipers are superb as is our SOF - which from my understanding has been requested several times by US Military leaders to help in US missions.

Unfortunately you are right about our socialist government. But what can you expect? Mr. Trudeau's extensive experience comes from being a high school drama teacher and oh yeah, his father was Pierre Trudeau. I will have you know there are no other world leaders who take selfies as much as our PM. I am positive he and Mr. Trump will get along fine.
