[QUOTE="klein, post: 695888, member: 23950"] For a small country as ours, with a population, less then California, we do more then our fairshare. We have our Navy all over the world deployed, from the Artic, to Haiti, over Somalia (keeping the pirates away), to the red sea, and the middle east, all the way to asia. Canada is also all paid up with the UN, where the USA owes billions. Here is a list of our fleet : [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_Navy_ships[/URL] Just because we mostly don't use them for war purposes, we do use them to guard container ships full of goods for export/import. And also on standby security incase of a sudden war. Today is budget day in Canada. Cuts will be announced today, and I can almost sense a raise in the GST (going from 5 to 6%). I will find out later today. Hope, it's not too bad. PS: We don't need middle east petro dollars... we're an oil exporting nation. But, we protect that free flow as well, for other nations to enjoy.
