Well, I'd love to. Problem is, while we have a decent surface fleet, our sub fleet was purchased used from England. They leaked, and one of them had a fairly major electrical fire just after it left dock on the drive home. Who knew Leyland built subs?

Not only does Canada have an air force (soon to be upgraded with F-35s, btw) but on at least one occasion in recent years a nice polite Canadian boy has walked off with the trophy in a "Who's the hottest pilot?" contest with the USAF.
