Its like comparing a mac truck to a beetle, you just cant do it. The countries populations are just too extreme for a straight comparison
I wasn't exactly making a straight comparison. I was using the numbers to show that 60k odd soldiers and $11 billion isn't enought to fight a war. The US would be the major defender of Canada, plain and simple. Canada doesn't have the man power or money to completely defend itself.
