@CrackerJackLee You said that comment 2 times.

Okay we khow that you are a Europe hater,good job but you dont have to support your ideas so firmly.

In my opinion the USA are the bad guys (Not that Europe is not either but still the main villain of this plot is the USA if you asked me.I bet they have already raised military activity in the Arctic.)

One again, the pigs fighting for a bigger piece of the trough.

Doesn't matter - mother nature has it's own agenda - and it doesn't include man.

@Northernsharpshooter yeah man, besides we are a Commonwealth Realm, if we get attacked, the UK, NZ, Australia and others have a Commonwealth obligation (as we do if they were in trouble) but yes we are a highly industrialised nation with a ridiculous amount of resources and by modern and historic standards we have always had the most efficient military, essentially, a private can replace his lieutenant, or radio operator if it ever comes to that.

@akropiss yes you are right our country may not have a "big army" but when it is needed we have been known to get a striking increase in our army before we go off to war, however our governmnet tends to get rid of the military after the war but thats beside the point. thanks for informing me about "BATUS" I am starting to get into histroy because it is simply amazing and never knew BATUS exsisted I will have to do more research on it, thank you

@Northernsharpshooter yes, that is true, 70% of our population is centred between the sagueney and sundbury, luckily though we still have our red-coats; yes the british mechanised units are based in the prairies for Canadian defence, and because the prairies allow them to operate on a near infinite amount of training grounds "BATUS" it is called. 3 things Canada is not short of, are resources, uranium, and patriots willing to fight against ridiculous odds (1775, 1812)

Norway is not a part of the EU so gtfo! Russia and Norway solved the border conflict without the help of the EU.
