No, we dont need a military because of that.

Because hundreds of other countries share borders with hundreds of other neighbours of somewhat equal power, often ruled by tin-pot dictatorships, religious fanatics, or by those who wish to be a world power.

While I might disingenously call this coalition a tin-pot dictatorship, the simple fact is, Alberta alone does not share an eastern, western or northern border with a nation that is a threat. To the south is a nation that could be, but already is if it so chooses. And Alberta would be completely incapable of being a world power militarily.

Your argument has no basis in the realities of Alberta's supposed situation.
