Canadian "Weakness"

[mbarrick]

I downloaded some of stats from the CIA Factbook and did some number crunching: at roughly 32 million people, Canada is only 36th most populous country on Earth. Other countries with equivalent populations are Algeria, Morocco, and Sudan. Canada, however is 19th in the world for military spending ($7.9 billion USD), placing us in the neighbourhood of Israel ($9 billion), Spain ($8.6 billion), Turkey ($8.1 billion), Taiwan ($8 billion), the Netherlands ($6.5 billion), and North Korea ($5.1 billion)- and just over six times the military budget of Iraq ($1.3 billion).

While sipping on your cup of shut-the-fuck-up, you can stick this in your pipe and smoke it.
