"Canadians have often been militarily unprepared for war" I can only speak for the picture in my den. It shows half the city of Halifax destroyed during ww1. My father and two of his brothers were on the ship next to the one that exploded and destroyed half the city. He tells me they believed it was a german sub. I believe history says the ship exploded from other reasons. All during the war they escorted ships going over the Atlantic . Halifax was a grouping point for the ships before going over to Europe. sometimes the seas were so ruff you could not see the convoy you were protecting. One of his brothers was blown from one end of the ship to the other end and survived. In grammar school I was remember reading about in our american history as the largest explosion until Japan. I am sure we will hear on many contributions from Canadians during the wars this article is a cheap shot imo

Comments ? On today's Canada ?? I believe most Americans look at Canada as a weak sister more a part of the problem than part of the solution. In the big picture militarily, they are a non-factor and we'd most likely be more successful if they stayed home and debated whether they're a French or British colony. I'm sure that U.S. Commanders are thrilled to have some Canadian liaison office questioning their every movement. Clearly, we do not need either Canada's military "might" nor it's incessant second guessing. Clearly, the U.S. and U.K. are more than equipped to complete this mission with little assistance from obstructionists. Most Americans pay Canada little attention other than during hockey season. We know it's a hotbed for terrorist activities that their government seems not to have the resolve to address. We also know that their "assistance" as outlined in this article is not required, nor wanted. Either be part of the solution or get the hell out of the way ! JB
