Well, on your next state visit to Canada, probably to discuss tariff duties on the Groghead Cafe sales, merely ask our Canadian members to fix it up.
I'm sure they would be happy to oblige.  Just a small token of their appreciation and gratitude.  (Up there with the French World War I war debt.)

Canada has lumberjacks. They don't need Marines.

And with that, this thread is sufficiently derailed :)
(as all threads with the mention of Justin Bieber should be)

Free trade, my ass!  >:(

There is no Marine Corps in Canada.  There are no amphibious assault ships.  The Royal Canadian Navy has no infantry.  There are no overseas, littoral territories to protect.

Interesting. I just figured anyone with a Navy would have Marines. Clearly I was mistaken.

AFAIK, there have been no Marines in Canada since the Royal Navy officially pulled-up stakes and took the Royal Marines with them.

Regular infantry and special forces troops train in amphibious landings.  They also both train in parachuting, as we no longer have a parachute regiment either (due to political correctness).  :-[

Sad that this kind of behaviour is now considered unusual enough that it requires reporting.

I doubt it's unusual at all.  It just doesn't get reported as often as the more horrific stuff (bad news seems to make for better ratings)...

^Agreed. Murder and mayhem make the news. Good guys don't.

I don't know if the Canuks have desert commandos to protect all the snowbirds here in Arizona but their Air Force uses our airport for training. We get a little air show when they are here. Maybe it is really spying...

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

They aren't spying.  They're just looking down for all the bits that keep falling off the decrepit air jalopies we call an air force.

Sad that Justin Beiber is having a concert on the 237th birthday of the Marine Corps.
