I am not doubting your commitment to your military, but it is certainly
relying on the US military.

What I am asking is............let's turn the table and ask that Canada
commit major capital to it's military to protect the world and that the
US
take a second seat to the action.

As a percentage of overall revenue, how much does Canada spend on it's
military now? Could it afford to spend (as a percentage) what the US is
currently budgeting?

Canada does not rely on the US Military for anything!

What would you ask Canada to protect the world from? The USA in it's
country grab for more oil?
Canada does not have the enemies that the USA has throughout the world.

Canada has no need to spend huge amounts of it's money on the military, as
does our neighbor to the south.

It's because of its neighbor to the south that Canada doesn't have to spend
a lot of money on its military.

Instead of buying all of those natural resources from you guys, what's to
stop China from marching onto Canadian soil and just taking it?
