This argument annoys me whenever I hear it.
WHO are we defending the land mass from? Are the Chinese going to send 100,000 troops over to claim Nunavut?
I'm not naive enough to say that we don't benefit from America's (ridiculously oversized and over aggressive) military being minutes from our borders, but Canada is more than capable of protecting its own interests.
