| Primus Pilus | It's quality is great but it's size isn't. Course, Canada doesn't really need a large force- afterall, it's only tokin for the UN.

| Milforum Moderator   | Well, considering what it has to do(nothing) its OK, but I dout it would fare well against any other western army.

| Milforum Hitman  | I'm not an expert, but as far as I know Canada fares pretty well on humanitarian interventions, but its military constantly complains about its tiny size and pretty old equipment. http://www.canada.com/search/story.h...e-7fa6e40fd9ab

| Optio  | I lived in Canada from 1992 to 1993, I remember the population was not much more than the population of Taiwan. So maybe for the population, their military is enough. Besides, they don't really have any enemy. The US, Canada's only neighbor, is highly unlikely to carry out an invasion. I guess they never felt the need to have a strong military force. |

| Milforum Hitman | Right, that's their cowardy/hypocrisy, in my view. Everybody here knows that I love Canada, I have lived there and had friends and a chick, so you know I don't mean to offend anyone. I speak rough at times, just like when I call Europe coward. But what I mean is that Canadians don't think they need a stronger army only because they're exploiting the US bases and coverage. That's a bit hypocritical. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | We have some of the best trained pilots and soldiers in the world. The only problem is equipment, which is improving. The aging Sea King is finally being replaced with the Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/equ...48/intro_e.asp. Not, to mention, some brilliant inventions such as CADPAT. The Canadian army primarily focuses on Peacekeeping missions (Kosovo, Afghanistan, Cypress, Democratic Republic of the Congo), as well as humanitarian aid.
