It is one area where Canada really lags, R&D, despite having a massively educated workforce, bags of capital and fine infrastructure. You see a bit of it happening in the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Ontario, but I'd like to see more.
I'm OK with us in Afghanistan except that I'm not sure we (and I mean both Canada and NATO as a whole) are well suited to "win" the mission, just as the US is unsuited to "win" Iraq with the current strategy.
Maybe invade Iceland, too - there are some hot chicks in Iceland and they don't actually have a military, per se, so our odds are good.
