For the life of me I can't understand why we are being such retarded, spiteful faggots about this. Well, I can imagine why, but it enrages me beyond coherence.

It really shouldn't be controversial to be a good neighbour and ally to your largest trading partner AND your deterrent to invasion. Canada has the potential to be a relative economic powerhouse simply because of our natural resources, natural isolation from invasion due to having 3 fucking oceans surrounding us, and being right next to the USA. All we have to do is spend the bare minimum that America wants us to (and our legal obligations to NATO require of us) on our military and stop thumbing our nose at the Americans and acting superior to them and we have a golden fucking ticket to unimaginable prosperity.

And we fucking squander it on being massive faggots to the one country that can either destroy us like an elephant would an mouse, or be the greatest economic and social accelerant to national greatness. We simply do not deserve liberty or prosperity or peace.
