Well, it's a fact.
Canada does not matter to 99.99% of the world's population. The country rarely even registers on the minds of 7 billion people. You're completely overshadowed by your much bigger neighbour. You're a member of Nato but your membership is merely political rather than military because your military is too small. If you were an EU state, you would be merely its seventh-largest, being smaller than Poland. You would have around 50 MEPs in the EU parliament, compared to Poland's 51, Britain's 73 and Germany's 89. Basically, you would be outvoted by Poland.
