Owen Schalk details how Canada’s policies—the hostile moves toward geopolitical opponents, efforts to decrease economic ties to China through critical minerals exploration, and hundreds of billions of dollars in projected military spending over the next decades—do not make Canadians safer.

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.
