Canada's approach has always been different from that of our southern neighbours. But for us, that is part of our defining characteristics that we cherish so much. Militarization and destroying international diplomatic good will towards our country is not a model we easily aspire to follow.

Canada’s approach has always been different from that of our southern neighbours.

But for us, that is part of our defining characteristics that we cherish so much.

Militarization and destroying international diplomatic good will towards our country is not a model we easily aspire to follow.

Despite the fantasy once fashionable about "punching above its weight," Canada dwells unheard on the sidelines in any international issue you can name. Why would Canada need to worry about the tension between the need for surveillance and privacy in time of war? Lichtenstein doesn't either. Canada's derisory military even had to charter commercial flights to airlift its small contingent of soldiers to Afghanistan, where its performance falls somewhat short of distinguished, and its fleet cannot protect the northern channels that are opening up due to global warming. But you're far ahead in the humorless and smugness categories.
