I would argue that Australia's Navy would kick our a%%, but thats because they emphasize their Navy and spend lavishly on it.

Canada has a more well rounded army especially in terms of armoured tactics and more mobility because we have to in theory move quicker.

The air forces are similar but Canada's is about double the size.

Austrialia is obsessed with special forces and especially their version of the SAS, but we don't know the true capabilities of Canada's JTF-2.
