The Canadian Military

At The American Thinker, they have an article about the state of the military in Canada. Basically, the Canadian government is under funding their already small military by about C$500,000,000 this year alone.

That means they are going to have to decommission ships, ground planes and disband troop. This also means Canada will not be able to fufill its treat obligations to NATO and will not be able to patrol its own fishing grounds to keep other countries from stealing Canadian fish.

That the Canadian people feel they no longer need a military is their choice, after all they live in a democracy. However, they may want to look at history and see what happens when countries who are prosperous and do not bother to defend themselves. Not that Canada needs a huge military, but they need one big enough to guard its borders.
