We had a good thing, Canada.
A quiet arrangement.
You kept watch up north, didn't make noise, didn't screw around.
We covered the heavy lifting.
You backed us up, built a few ships, some icebreakers, flew the flag at NATO, pretended to be a country that gave a damn. We saluted your officers and let you slide when things got bloody.
We asked for help and you sent 26,000 to places like Korea while we sent 1.1 million. We suffered more deaths than your total deployed forces and that was ok because you were nice and you had to remain focused on keeping the north defended.
Now look at you.
Your navy's a joke, less combat power than a drug cartel with Zodiac boats.
Your GDP's circling the drain, and instead of fixing it, you're too busy playing dress-up at climate conferences and pretending that TikTok diplomacy will stop a hypersonic missile. You have 3 rusty submarines in commission and a few at the Edmonton Mall plus a few small frigates. You have more generals and Admiral than working tanks. You spend less per GDP on defense than Albania or Slovakia.
You won't spend.
You won't build.
You won't fight.
You have the longest arctic shoreline in the world but most of your unimpressive "icebreaker" fleet are small patrol craft that would be crushed in heavy ice.
You are a Pacific Nation but couldn't defend your selves from the Chinese fishing fleet let alone their Coast Guard or Navy.
But you'll sure as hell talk.
Talk about "shared values" while you freeload off the defense umbrella we pay for. Talk about "peacekeeping" while China cuts your undersea cables and Russia maps your Arctic. Talk about how important your role is in NATO knowing full well your only authority is the billets, joint exercises and training we give you,
You think this continent defends itself?
You think because you're polite and bilingual and serve maple syrup at the G7, you get a pass?
You think getting angry about memes will protect you from ismalocommies already inside the gate?
That someone else, USA, will show up when it gets hot in the Arctic or North Pacific?
Not gonna happen because we don't have a single icebreaker that hasn't suffered a catastrophic loss and no longer have a fleet capable of evacuating our bases in the Pacific let alone defending your coast.
You had a good thing.
You could've been useful.
You chose to be a burden.
And when the day comes, and it will come, don't expect a call back.
We're done babysitting the unarmed.
You had two jobs. Two. Stop the spread of Communism by nodding along with our anti-marxist rhetoric and defending your own coast. You have failed miserably at both.
And now you're no longer even nice. You roll over to china and waive fentanyl through our border while booing the American flag and banning our products.
Then when we call out the truth you start pulling on our sympathy strings with posts talking about what great allies you were in WW2 and Korea.
I love and admire all you lost and all Canadians who served but that was a long time ago and I absolutely zero respect for today's Royal Canadian "navy" or your politicians.
We had a great thing going Canada and paid you trillions in sweetheart deals like NAFTA, open borders and all our best intel vis five eyes.
All you had to do was be nice, not elect commies and patrol your own coast in return. You blew it.
In a world when you can be anything, be the person that ends the meeting early.
