you have no idea where the 22% of French speakers live?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only reason why canada has not surrendered to cuba, is because the US is between the two nations.
I imagine canada offered to surrender to greenland and iceland, but both nations declined the offer.
Where are most people in canada from, France. What do French people do? They surrender.
End of story.
Anyone who understands anything about WW2 and the forced surrender of France to Nazi Germany clearly understands the the military forces stacked against France. As every nation in Europe was under the Nazi boot. Only the Brits escaped a Nazi invasion and that only due to the English channel that protected England and Ireland.

But still there was an immediate and active French resistence that kept up and helped the allied powers win WW2.
As we can maybe say, before WW2, there were only three nations that were never conquered, the USA, Russia, and Japan. Now its down to two, as Japan, the oldest of the three can no longer make that claim.
The French people are survivors and that is what matters more than anything. Only a fool would disrepect the French who saved America's butt in our nation's revolutionary war.

There is an episode of southpark when mr. Garrison asked his uncle (or was it his dad?) why he did not sexually abuse mr Garrison when mr Garrison was a child.
The uncle says something like "I never abused you".
Mr Garrison says something like "thats right, I was not good enough for you to abuse?"
In other words, mr Garrison regrets not being sexually abused as a child.
That is how canada is with Iran. Since Iran is not going to invade or accept canadas surrender, just get the hell out.
Its ok that 22% of the population are willing to surrender at any given second.
That is nothing to be ashamed of.
What got me, is that it took yall this long to kick iran out.
A long time ago I was having a drink with a uniformed Canadian. Now he wasn't "special forces" because that's not how it worked. So we're chatting things up and a few US ramped to start trouble. Really big guys and at least one from TX. Well hells bells, we're in for a fight. To my great surprise my drinking bud tossed me his keys and asked me to stand at the exit. Hells bells. Didn't want me helping. I'm thinking something like "badsass but don't die". Words were exchanged and a Marine moved first. To this day I have no idea what happened, but this 5'10 Canadian left three Marines, all 750+ lbs of them bloody and down in seconds. That was my cue to run and we were out.
Moral- don't screw with what you don't know even if you are from TX with 3:1 odds in your favor.
The guy was probably a russian immigrant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Where would you place Canada in that list?
When have they been conquered since they became a country?

Texashiker, has you served in the military?
As we start to ask the harder questions, is the character of nation in its government or in its people?
No, I "has" not served in the military.
I think the character of a nation is derived from its culture, people and religion, only to name a few.
I like harping on canada because the nation tends to mind its own business. They sit up there in the icy north minding their own business; which is what I wish the US would do, mind our own business.
This stuff with canada kicking iran out, its mostly symbolic. Its not like canada is going to bomb iran before the US or israel can.
Its like the government of canada was looking for something to make some news. Someone said, lets kick iran out. Everyone else started laughing because 1 - nobody cares about iran being in canada, 2 - nobody cares what canada does.
Its like that second cousin that lives at the end of the street. You know he is your second cousin, but so what?
when it come to standing their ground don't discount them as the armed force personnel they have are equally trained as their US counterparts.
So in other words you have no clue how the Canadian military compliments US and NATO troops around world. They don't need a large standing armed forces as they have the US to help protect them if needed however, when it come to standing their ground don't discount them as the armed force personnel they have are equally trained as their US counterparts.
LOLTo be fair, Quebec (where all the "French" live) just voted in a minority secessionist government. They go, so goes the Maritimes, which accounts for 4 or 5 provinces out of 13 provinces and territories.
Oh, and love the tough talk from our guberment... Turns out there were worries about using 9 instead of 7 fighters in Libya. Iran must be worried...

From my (admittedly limited) understanding, the Canadian specialty and primary support is telecommunications.
Unless something has changed recently the Canadian Navy used to operate with the US and UK Navies. Also there were Canadian troops that served/patrolled areas in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

The only Canadian soldiers in Iraq were loan officers attached to U.S. units. Canada sit not participate with the absence of a UN Resolution.
