  No one is postulating that.
  
  Perhaps you can cite an instance where Minister Freeland has asked us to "believe for one second that Russia is going to invade Canada one day soon?"
  
  Please, provide a citation for that.
  
  As for Russia as an invasion threat, that's exactly why all those former Soviet/Russian slave states rushed to join NATO at their first opportunity.
  
  Ask the Ukrainians.
  
  Ask the Poles, Latvians, Estonians, Romanians, Lithuanians, Georgians, Chechens about being next door to Putin's Russia and the chances of a Russian invasion.
