Again...in the realm of Geo-Political issues, we arent like Australia.
If Australia gets attacked it has to defend itself.
If Canada gets attacked....our southern big brother isnt going to stand for that sort of buffoonery.
They went all the way during the Cuban missile crisis...what do you think they'd do if someone attacked the country
actually attached to them?
So Australia has to have an entirely different method of thinking regarding their approach to military appropriations than a country like Canada.
Not an excuse for our approach which can only be measured in geological terms. Glaciers move faster than this.
