A good read on how Canada cultivated its “nice” image at first and how its ghoulishness has now inevitably bared its face.
Need depends on the goals. Specifically the actual goals and not the stated goals. The article addresses your point that Canada earlier did not need a military of its own because of its “military parasitism” as he calls it. They could rely on the American military for their strategic interests. Now that there is a emerging military industrial complex of its own, Canada “needs” a military because Canada is run by those who own these induatries and the existence and expansion of the military will enrich them.
