Well yeah so I think you're saying 'both' - that's where it gets tricky to me, I feel like one needs to take precedence over the other to figure out what military is the best for Canada.
To have one military be tasked with both defending a country as geographically unique as Canada (presumably from a physical attacker), while also being able to simultaneously deploy across the Atlantic/Pacific in a land/air/sea battle, seems like a lot. Maybe more than we can actually do. I'd be cool with focusing hard on one, or the other.
