Of course in a few years the Canadians may not offer an armed force to oppose ... they made their airborne forces disappear at a stroke of the pen (they were naughty boys in Somalia ...)... and they tried to suppress interservice rivalry in the 60s by calling all their forces the Canadian Armed Forces (they have air and naval elements which still insist on wearing a different colour uniform than the land forces).
Maybe if they militarize their rugby teams, they'll do ok. They can certainly sing ... although "North Atlantic Squadron" should only be used in the most offensive of combined arms operations.
