think that Canada needs a much, much better military? I mean, c'mon, ours sucks. The technology is at best American hand-me-downs they stopped using before Desert Storm. The coordination stinks. The soldiers are bumbling idiots with no competence whatsoever. It's not even a real military, it's basically a makeshift peacekeeping force. The problem is that the country is so damned wimpy and full of hippies.
1966: Americans ilegally park an oil tanker up here. We do nothing.
1977: The frickin' RUSSIANS, during the Cold War make a "research station" (more like spy station) in Canadian territory. Not only did we do nothing to stop them from entering-not like we could have, since we don't have nearly enough military forces to properly patrol even a tiny piece our vast territory-but we don't even try to force them out.
1985: America parks another oil tanker up here. Yet again, we do nothing. The closest thing that happened to stopping them was when some hippies flew overhead in a helicopter and dropped miniature Canadian flags on them.
Some Date I Forgot: Danes from Denmark make a research station up here, plant their frickin' flag on Canadian territory, and we don't do jack squat.
Would America take that crap? No. Neither would England, France, or any other country. There's simply too much peaceloving bull**** in this imitation nation. If this place wasn't built by damned hippies, we'd be running the show. Let me give you an idea of exactly how crappy we are. In 1991 (I believe that was the year), the town of Oka tried to force some indians in Quebec off their ancient sacred land. The indians' men grabbed a bunch of old AK-47's, made a blockade and were ready to fight back. Untrained civillians with early Cold War era weapons versus "trained", "professional" soldiers...I bet you think that's a really unfair fight, don't you? It sure is...for the soldiers, that is.
Now, I'm not saying that they messed up because they didn't shoot the indians. That's the only thing they got right, though in fact they already made what I'd call a serious mistake because truth be told, there shouldn't be any excuse for a First World free country to use its army on its own citizens, anyways. And yes, I'm distinctly aware that those "hippie beliefs" are a reason that First World nations don't use their armies on their citizens more often, but I'd still say those damned reefersmokers done more harm than good, and I personally believe we could have given black/yellow/red/brown people civil rights without them.
Here's what pisses me off: the sheer incompetence of our armed forces ("Canadian Armed Forces"...gee, what a terrifying name that would strike fear into the hearts of our enemies, the unarmed, penniless indians of Oka, Quebec...note my sarcasm):
-1. At least a few "soldiers" (they do not have the right to call themselves that, and do not have the right to wear berets) were easily beaten up by civillians. Not only did the soldiers not manage to fend off even one of them, but they didn't even fight back.
-2. Two ordinary, average, completely normal civillians who were private journalists easily snuck past the barricade and security line put up by our "soldiers".
-3. The soldiers later on used their Chinook helicopters (which IIRC were by the early 1990's already about 30 years old) to...steal the indians' beer.
You gotta be !@#$%^ kidding me. The fact is is that if you want true peace, you must prepare for war. A country that has no military is like a man who cannot put up his fists-he will never be respected, or ever be a man at all. The language of the human race, of all Mankind is violence, and if you cannot speak, you WILL be ignored. I want Canada to be a peaceful place without gun violence and were children can walk down the street without being attacked by pedophiles, but I don't want it to be run by hippies, either. I want the best of both worlds. I want us to have a top military in case the Third World War breaks out, or something else awful. How do you get peace? With a knife. Only a fool would choose the olive branch.
