Is that possible? I've heard in Canada you can refuse to have your taxes spent on military. I did not think it is possible here.

Actually it was the Government of Canada that refused to spend money on the military. Things got so bad that we had military families using food banks cause their salaries were so low. The Liberal party (they'd be Demoncrats in the US) bought big Jets for the Prime Minister, and refused to replace the 40 year old Helicopters in the military. Canada bought used subs from England, and then found out that because we left them at dock for years, the damned things don't float nor do they submerge. I think the last plan was to fit them with oars.
Besides Liberals always figured that the US would save Canada. But Canada figures it could beat anyone smaller than Denmark if it comes to war.
