Exactly when has Canada needed the US to defend it's borders?
Just one or two examples should do.
Today, NORAD operates radars in the United States and Canada, oriented outward, to detect air attacks from foreign countries. NORAD augments these radars by communicating with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which operates its own radars, and by flying E-3 AWACS aircraft. NORAD commands F-15 Eagle, F-16 Falcon, and Canadian CF-18 fighter aircraft flying combat air patrols (CAP) and on strip alert (prepared to take off on short notice).

this shocking and alarming. 2 brigades is more than enough to wipe out the entire canadian military and conquer canada.

The only reason the US has interest in defending the northern parts of Canada is the missile defense shield. If the US didn't have that infrastructure to defend the US wouldn't be in Canada....

I wasn't sure if anyone would pick that one up.....
I agree that eventually we will be able to harness that energy. But for now, with current technology, it is quite difficult. ive.
I think we are all on the same side. I just believe that all of this military movement and political claims of the Arctic is pointless.
Nothing will change.

That is why i said 'help'. As in, helping their own military. Canada has a long-standing relationship with the US in terms of national defense. Are you denying this?

"Needed" is an interesting perspective. Are you denyng that Canada benefits from a cozy relationship with the world's dominant superpower for the past 6 decades, who just so happens to inhabit the land immediately south of their border?

To imply the only reason Canada hasn't been invaded is because of it's proximity to the US is just plain wrong!
I would suggeest that no-one has had a need or reason to want to invade or declare war on Canada.
