after WWII CANADA began to move towards a more socialist government, In that process there military slowly began to crumble. Canada was known to have a damn tough and respectful military, I know my father telling me this after he retired from the US Army. Canada today is left with a bare minimum Military as there government has refused to spend the money necessary to rebuild it. I believe since last Year after the Harper government was elected that they have been allocating more money and have proposed to help rebuild Canada\'s military.
