Having spent some time in India, a daily worry of most people is they feel threatened by their neighbours like Pakistan, China, Bangladesh and so forth. All these countries have beef with India in one way or another along with arsenals of nukes and all. I never saw it that way.

Given how much of Canada is so wide spread and generally unprotected, we can't always bank on the idea our friends and neighbours will come to our rescue, especially when things get dire.

Look at Ukraine.
