Meanwhile, they'll be raking in some hefty cash from the penalty fees. Not too bad for what essentially amounted to doing nothing...
O Harper... Always so eager to spend Canadian taxpayer money to curry favors with the Americans...

considering the state of the Royal Canadian Navy and Air force.... your both wrong.
- the Canadian destroyer and escort fleet is in bad shape. If Canada wanted to spend money on there fleet there best investment would be a modern fleet of Destroyers. that should be there priority if they intend to get a Amphib fleet as said amphb would need escorts and the most the Canadians can muster on there own is one destroyer slated to retire and Frigates
- A Mistral buy would not favor the Us it would Favor the French, This is not the first word on this by the way the Joint Support Ship program and Amphibious Assault Ship Project have been around since 2008.
- The Canadian navy lacks any Amphibious connectors, No LCAC
- The Canadian Military operates differently then the US Or PLA, the Royal Canadian Air Force operate all Aircraft Fixed wing and Rotary. in terms of Transport Choppers The RCAF is not so good. the are operating either older units stretched to there lifespan or small numbers of modern types. In Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan they had to rent Choppers. there primary chopper is the CH146 Griffon. a civilian chopper mounting guns. optimum use of a Mistral is as a LHA/D using Vtol fighters, best being F35B second best being Harrier, after that you need a combat chopper like Apache or Cobra. Canada has 0 attack choppers and 0 Vtol fighters.
- Finally we move to the Canadian Army. fine troops, no Amphibious capacity. they can ford, they can riverine they cant cross a ocean.
The Russian Navy had at least the base line of needs Landing craft, attack aircraft with Vtol, and escorts.

You know that Canada wasn't involved in Iraq, right?
And why would Canada need those capabilities? Nobody is going to attack Canada from the sea. The only times Canada sends out its navies is in support of UN or NATO missions.
An extremely good and fine looking carrier manned by a professional Japanese Navy. Japan builds her own carriers - The JMSDF is definitely a Force to be reckoned with in defense of her homeland and territories.

Check again Sol.
US military Forces operate separately form it but Canadian Military forces often participate in UN Peacekeeping operations. the Program mentioned was drafted directly to support UN Peace keeping missions where the logistical and mission needs are identical. on top of that they were also drafted after Humanitarian Aid missions.
Addendum
And As to no one attacking Canada by sea, might want to read up on the Russian Canadian Arctic dispute.
Still As I said It's not likely to happen.

wikipedia article said:
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Canada might be offering to buy French Mistrals, but remember that it was American pressure that led to the halt of the sales in the first place.
It's especially ironic since Canada wouldn't even have functional helicopters to put on it...
