Defense Pivot for Canada

Canada doesn’t need the F35 – or any other fighter aircraft for that matter. The only conceivable military threat to us is from the South, and possesses such overwhelming conventional military strength that any traditional resistance would be futile. Our defense priority should therefore be the training and equipment of all willing Canadians for a period of asymmetrical warfare – with emphasis on drones, sniping, sabotage, and assassination of leadership. Fortunately we share a language with the potential aggressor and have such a deep understanding of their psyche that many of their top comedians are Canadian. So infiltration to their heartland and most sensitive places should be relatively easy for us. And as a nation with many active hunters and the highest per capita rate of long distance sniper kills I have no doubt we can ensure that whoever orders an attack on us will basically be signing their own death warrant.
