This is kind of where I'm at. Reduce the expectations from full Canadian defense as well as full NATO air/land/sea support, and start paring down what we can actually do.

Very strong coast guard, reasonably strong navy, reasonably strong air force, and maybe rely on a beefed up militia/reserve for land forces. Maybe Canada doesn't actually need tanks...
