A good read on how Canada cultivated its “nice” image at first and how its ghoulishness has now inevitably bared its face.

    Canada does not need a military. In all the years in existence, how many times has it been attacked, and by who? Canada in NATO just makes them a nuclear target by association. Not smart at all.

      Canada does not need a military.

      Need depends on the goals. Specifically the actual goals and not the stated goals. The article addresses your point that Canada earlier did not need a military of its own because of its “military parasitism” as he calls it. They could rely on the American military for their strategic interests. Now that there is a emerging military industrial complex of its own, Canada “needs” a military because Canada is run by those who own these induatries and the existence and expansion of the military will enrich them.
