    I mean, Canada borders the largest military on earth which has just gone full fash, so I doubt they have a choice. I blame America for having a peacetime military so big that Trump doesn’t have to do the arms buildup Hitler did.

      Just TBC-- my understanding from historians is that post-WWI Germany indulged in major military building at some point, years before Hitler came in to power. So, it seems there was indeed some parallel there to what we have today, just not nearly as much, since the USA has been actively shoving its might around since the days of Cuba’s war of independence.
