How many times have Canadian troops carried the load? We are always there whether we have equipment or not. From Korea to every stinkin UN problem around the globe to Afghanistan. Really what we should do is just cop out like the Chinese, Japanese, Germans, French etc. Sit on the sidelines and not send so much as a team of doctors.
We can cover it up by passing a law that says our army can only be used for defending the country. We can offer diplomats. We can be buddy buddy with every nation and just offer pompous platitudes as our contribution.
When nations such as Afghanistan for example ask for help we can say why don't you ask your neighbors first. China is right next door with an army light years bigger than ours.
Ditto for the Americans. Let the rest of the world sink and swim on their own for a few decades.
