The answer to the government's dilemma is easy. Reduce the size of the military so it cannot deploy outside of Canada. We can't be blamed for not sending who we don't have to send. While you are at it get rid of all heavy and medium lift aircraft so we can't transport our soldiers anywhere. Get rid of the frigates because they are blue water ships. Just keep the new little arctic patrol ships and use them to watch our coasts without offensive weaponry. Get rid of tanks and artillery as these can be used offensively as well. Keep a token military to use mostly for ceremonial purposes. We are close to that point anyway. Finish the job and end the pain.
