With apologies to the former members of the Canadian Abn Rgt - Not no, but H*** NO! I don't want any socialist government - let alone one that shares a border with the U.S. - having competent warriors.

The Canadian government is already a French parody, how long before they become the staging area for blue helmets and black helicopters? Only partly in jest
