Re: Canadian army....
There is no need to arm yourself when you have a friendly neighbor who is armed to the teeth and openly protected your borders for 40 years. This is not meant as a purjorative, because if I were Canada I'd take advantage of that happy coincidence as well. The US also protects most of the world's trade routes as well.
But while the Canadian military is small, from what I've heard they are very well trained, not unlike the British military.
