No thanks to the teachers unions, the vast majority of which are Cultural Marxist liberal arts grads indoctrinating the little dearies into the being morally dependent Identity Politics nutjobs.

I don't pretend otherwise, I embrace nuclear weapons; keeping the Third World War at bay, since 1945.

No he didn't, all NATO forces were nuclearized including the RCAF in Europe, and in fact still are, including the CF-18's which can deliver the B61 from the NATO stockpiles in Italy, Turkey and the Netherlands. The Americans patrol the arctic with nuclear powered attack submarines, but those are not normally armed with nuclear weapons, the mission of the attack subs is to follow and if necessary sink nuclear armed ballistic missile submarines. The American nuclear armed ballistic missile submarines patrol in protected bastions in waters like the Sargasso Sea off of Bermuda The American SSBN's are not designed to hide under the polar icecap and pop up through to deliver the missiles, only the Russian SSBN's can do that, which is why the American SSN's are up there.

The metrics for the tests are completely obsolete, 19th century education which is useless to the students, the teacher union entrenched interest prevents the education system from being reformed for the Information Age, because then they'd be out of job. Teachers are at this juncture nothing more than vastly overpaid baby sitters.

No it's not, I was just testing your knowledge, the warheads were delivered to North Bay on 31 December 1963. The Americans maintained control of them on site with the 425th maintenance squadron, back in those days the Americans had forces based in Canada. But this was Pearson not Trudeau. Trudeau inherited them in 68', but he didn't return them, the unit was disbanded in 1972. Also, Canada could have bombed civilians with nuclear weapons in the event of World War Three, as that was the mission of the RCAF CF-104's in Europe, using the NATO stockpile of B61's.

While the Canadian Forces were gifted Bomarc missiles from the USA which could be armed with nuclear warheads, Canada never actually took delivery of the warheads which remained in storage in the US, so Canada has never actually possessed nuclear weapons to use on civilians.

I certainly don't understand why Canadians like you internalize the state as being indistinguishable from yourself to the exclusion of all free thought or reason. Actually that's not true, you were indoctrinated from a young age by the teachers unions, who knew?

Formalizing and accelerating the process already in progress, in order to stop wasting $20 billion a year on what is now largely a heritage project to invoke the bygone days of the First and Second World War/Pork Barrel vote buying operation to no particular practical use vis a vis the security of the state nor people.

Not sure how you got might makes right out of that, but whatever. I didn't say scale down the military, I said totally disband it, eliminate the Department of National Defence, and transfer the armed constabulary role to the Department of Public Safety.

Indeed, both nations, and in fact the British Empire itself, born of the same father, at Fort Necessity, 3 July 1754

Fascism would only rise to power in Canada in the event of a catastrophic economic crisis, but if that comes to pass, there would be nothing you could do to stop it, who you vote for in the meantime is of no consequence.

I'm not worried about the Americans, there are fascists at the margins in all Western countries and in the wake of military debacles and economic crisis they tend to gain influence, but what is going on in America today is pretty milquetoast in the context of the American Hurly Burly. In terms of Canadian democracy, it's basically just a kiddie table version of what's going on down there, same paradigm, without the courage of convictions. As per usual, as Canadians lack a distinct culture outside of Quebec, they basically try to emulate the Americans to fill the void, the main difference is that in Canada the far leftist pseudo-Bolsheviks are dominant with no real opposition.

Not at all, I respect the Mohawks and understand why they don't want the Feds messing with them, but part of the reason that they would be able to bring the Windsor-Quebec corridor to a grinding halt with a relatively tiny number of warriors is the political reality that the public would not tolerate rolling over them with the army unrestrained.

I'm used to American libertarian militant free speech forums with almost no moderation at all, so this forum is like a knitting club in comparison, but I don't mind, I can play it either way, and as B-C2004 said, more focus on playing the ball, free for alls can be fun, but it gets boring after awhile, been there done that. That being said, if it's like Cultural Marxist power tripping where the moderator is shutting people down based on absurd claims of offence as a weaponized fallacy, that's not worth my time.

In fact, that's what they should do, because Zoolander is already yielding diminishing returns and getting on the public's nerves, now would be a good time to get rid of him, lefties ain't voting for Sheer and the Cat in the Hat is no threat to them, they should replace the Little Dauphin with an adult in the room. The biggest mistake Canadian parties make is sticking with the same leader for too long, leading to them being annihilated in the end, that's not how a Westminster Parliament works, they should change leaders early and often, now that most of the electorate is locked in to their ideological camps with nowhere else to go.

I love how I'm the "Fake Canadian" while the supposedly real Canadians around here don't even understand how their beloved federal government works, the PM has no authority but Parliamentary Supremacy, the MP's don't need him, he needs the MP's, they could take him down in a matter of minutes.

Only if they are in Cabinet, the Prime Minister is the Queen's executive, the position of Liberal party leader is not an executive position, and if a Prime Minister starts trying to strong arm MP's, they'll just cross the floor to the Tories, so any threats of consequences he would make would be empty.

Canada couldn't even go it alone against the Mohawks, that's why the Government doesn't mess with them anymore.

The Taliban were never America's enemy anyways, they never attacked America, they don't care, they're not Jihadists, they just want the foreigners out, so they can kill local drug dealers and child rapists which is how the Taliban came about in the first place, the Americans should just turn the place over to them again, it's a vast empty dust bowl of no particular strategic importance, it's not worth defending a position there.

And no, in the event of a non discretionary multilateral war, other countries are not going to be able to equip Canada with any "automated warfighting" capability, because they would need to equip there own forces for that, never mind that "automated warfare" is just fallacious civilian fanboi nonsense, but whatever.

And Canada doesn't have any automated warfighting capability neither, so what's your point?

And in terms of discretionary NATO overseas deployments, Canada did scale up for Afghanistan, that one ill equipped battalion in the field is what Canada scaling up looks like now

Scaling up is an early to mid 20th century paradigm, Canada's mobilzation plans were written in World War Two, in the 21st century, warfare moves so fast, the war would be over before Canada could scale up more than 1 Brigade of actually equipped and logistically deployable combat and support arms. Never mind that you have to have instructors to scale anything up, and since the instructors and the combat troops are the same troops, Canada could not train and fight at the same time.

Again, amateurs talk tactics while professionals talk logistics, the reason being that professionals understand that what is not supported by logistics is only on paper. On paper we have 9 battalions in 3 Brigade groups, in reality we only have the logistics and equipment to deploy one of those battalions and none of the brigades at any given time. There's 37 million Canadians, by your definition you might as well say we have 37 million infantryman, the issue is, how many can you train, equip and deploy to actually fight a modern war? Answer; 1 battalion group.

You mean the Liberal Government run by Gerry Butts who is now the Government in Ottawa? To avoid bankruptcy, live within your means, stop flushing billions down the tube on boondoggles, and if that means a less bloated and dysfunctional social welfare gulag? Sounds great.
