Americans should be glad they have a strong, dependable and honourable neighbour to the north. As a Brit i'd much rather have Canada as an ally than the USA.

The Canadians were willing to stand up to a much larger more powerful nation 70 years ago and the USA wasn't. I think American kids in school should be taught that before they decide how much Canada sucks..

@prostockgear It takes no more than 3 weeks to apply and go in for training. You are talking about after training, which most people pass because, like I said. it's easy and if they cut off the people who can't do the work (which most can't), they'd have no army at all. America's army is cowardly, immature and disrespectful. Most Victorian Cross winners have been Canadian soldiers.

Vimy Ridge, Normandy, Kapyong... Canada spearheaded the final and most important battles of WW1. On D-Day, Canada was the only ally to not only meet their objectives, they pushed the furthest inland while taking on the most experienced Panzer divisions. In Korea at Kapyong, Canada saved South Korea against the Chinese.

By far, Canada has the most prestige when it comes to war since the early 1800s, when Canada made the US look foolish during the war of 1812.
