Is there any Kevlar in his head-gear. Maybe Russia will ask us to join their meeting as they will be the general contractor for the reconstruction contracts.

It's all about domestic boots on the ground and Canada will train the foreign soldiers to do their jobs right. If the Americans did the training there would be a lot of friendly fire kills and the Canadian murders by a US fighter pilot proves it in Afghanistan. Let the Americans do their bombing from the air it is safe up there.

You have to remember that Canada's military is so small and weak that its main contribution to NATO is doing the paperwork. And I'm not being sarcastic or anything. I'm being serious.

That's one of the great benefits of a nation that has a highly developed educational system; people can read and write.

You really ought to contact your regional politicians and express your desire to have Britain institute a similar program ~ it really is a big advantage

It's not good, though, if you have nothing to defend yourself with.

And Britain is a nation of warriors, not a nation of office clerks.

Thanks for the Tuesday morning chuckles.

From what I recall, no one in contemporary history has successfully attacked Canada or the USA.... On the other hand, it was the Americans and Canadians that were begged by the British parliament to shield your nation from an outside threat on a couple of occasions.

... A nation of warriors indeed

The Liberals are a government of cowards led by the biggest coward ever. No guts, no loyalty to our once-upon-a-time allies, not desire to protect us from terrorist threats.
This snub by the coalition partners is an easy out for Trudeau. Supporting a military would not get him the photo ops and glad-handing he craves. Only spending and making empty promises of 'sunny ways' satisfies his ego.
Bastard!!!!!!!

With tits like the US and UK calling the shots there is a lot of paperwork considering there shouldn't be any wars going on at all.

It keeps our soldiers and pilots alive. Please check yourself into the nearest insane asylum.

Well, there was 9/11. And, before that, there was the War of 1812, in which the British defeated the Americans.

British (and English before that) military defeats are very rare. Britain is rarely defeated in war.

Britain hasn't been successfully invaded since 1066.

Of the 108 or so wars, including minor scuffles and revolutions and insurgencies, that Britain has fought since her defeat in the War of the Fifth Coalition in 1809, she has lost just seven of them: First Ashanti War (1823-1831); First Anglo-Afghan War (1839-1842), Bombardment of Greytown (1854); First Boer War (1880-81); Intervention in the Russian Civil War (1918-1920); British-Zionist conflict (1938-1948 ); Aden Emergency (1963-1967).

Britain did not lose a major war in the 20th century, unlike the United States.

On the other hand, it was the Americans and Canadians that were begged by the British parliament to shield your nation from an outside threat on a couple of occasions.
Canada and America would have begged Britain for help had Nazi Germany been just 700 miles or so away from you as it was from Britain.

... A nation of warriors indeed
Britain is a nation of warriors and is rarely defeated on the battlefield. If there was a league of war performance of major nations, Britain would top it. The British military is the finest on Earth.

The Brits got their azzes kicked.

Britain has a great imaginary military.

Your military is not even a shadow of what it was.

If it weren't for ISIS all these pawn nations would have to unseat Assad with thier own boots on the ground rather than the hired scum.
The meeting will be about how to transfer the remains of NATOs mercenary army (ISIS) to North Africa.
