The canadian government (currently headed by the pinko Liberal party) thinks the military is 'icky' and a relic of an older era. I'm sure our current emergency war plan says something like : "In case of attack beg American's for assistance. If Americans are attacking, file a protest with the UN and surrender immediately." Which is why my life plan is to go to Britain and join the military (which I can do as a commonwealth citizen). I couldn't serve under an inept quebecer in an underfunded, unappreciated and impotent military.

<> My god! Don't get me started on immigration. Too late! Apparently our Ministry of Customs and Immigration is SO inept that if you get off a transatlantic (or pacific) flight and claim you have no id and you're a refugee, they will believe you! No matter that you NEED a ton of id to get on the plane in the first place! No sir, instead it's "ok, here's your temporary refugee card and your first welfare check. And if you're not back in this office in one month you'll be in big trouble eh?" It doesn't matter that we have NO WAY of tracking down these guys after they are in, or that the check we just gave them will be used to finance Joe Terrorist & Co. *Sigh* Why can't the Conservatives + Canadian Alliance get their together, unite the right and stop handing the freaking socialists majority governments?!

We couldn't do that here. All the pinkos would be up in arms about violating their human rights or some such garbage. Plus our navy is not up to the task of stopping any of illegals coming in, much less patrolling our shores for more dangerous enemies.

If the Royal Navy was capable of sinking a canoe these days ,I'd reccomend intercepting their immigrants paddling from France.But the French dug a tunnel under the Channel to herd them through in an overestimation of the Navys capabilitys. This is'nt far off the mark!

Heh, Tommy. You should see the tunnels under the border coming out of northwestern Mexico into California.

Yeah, that's right. I always wondered why the UK didn't insist on gamma radiation to sterilise all those container trucks as the come out of the channel tunnel. It wouldn't stop the illegals coming through, but they wouldn't be around for much longer afterwards.

Spetsnaz- about commonwealth citizens in Britains army- http://www.army.mod.uk/careers/combat/entry_requirements.html "General Requirements Nationality Applicants will be eligible if they are a bona fide resident of the United Kingdom or the Irish Republic and are one of the following: Commonwealth citizen. This term includes a British citizen; a citizen of the British dependent territories; a British overseas citizen; a British subject under the British Nationality Act 1981; a citizen of an independent Commonwealth country; British Protected Person; Citizen of the Irish Republic. Residence Should applicants reside outside the United Kingdom, they will only be eligible to enlist if they are exempt from immigration control: that is to say they have been given indefinite leave to reside and work in the United Kingdom under Immigration Rules. " So you've got to get your green card or whatever the equivalent is there. How's australias armed forces? They can't be as bad as ours...you've got no frenchies.
