Canada would have nothing to ensure it's existance.
There are very few threats in the world that need a US level of protection to deter. We would have a 300,000 person army and spend less on dental floss. 300 fighters instead of 150. 20 frigates instead of what ever we have.
How many nations on earth can cross an ocean that is defended by 300 harpoon armed F18s?
So your talking out your ass...We could defend ourselves just fine against anyone but the US. And no military we built could keep you out along a border that covers the whole north amercan land mass plus the back door troops in alaska..
Trying to defend a country bigger then yours with a population less then california is pretty interesting.
