Does Canada have a better army than the US?
However, in a contest between the US and Canada, both countries possess highly advanced materiel. So, essentially, the US is the apparent and unquestionable winner.
Does Canada Military rely on the US?
Our security does not depend exclusively on what Canada does or what the Americans do, but on the sum of our joint effort. Every cent spent in Canada helps to defend the United States and vice versa.
Is Canada’s military strong?
For 2021, Canada is ranked 21 of 140 out of the countries considered for the annual GFP review. It holds a PwrIndx* score of 0.3956 (a score of 0.0000 is considered ‘perfect’). This entry last updated on 03/03/2021.
Given geography, Canada has no option but to do its share in defence of North America and the United States heartland; abroad, the constellation of forces seemingly requires that we carry our (small) share of the load.

But even so, there was bitter opposition to conscription, and a decidedly uneven distribution of volunteers for the Canadian Army overseas.
