Is this a joke? Canada has "crack" troops? Are they on crack? Canada has WWII era ships in its Navy. They couldn't fight their way out of a Niagara Falls casino, let alone engage a real enemy.

Maybe its another knid of "crack" they're experts in.

They don't have the equipment and monetary support obviously. But I wouldn't count out the Canadians as individual fighters. They don't do it very often but are not bad when they do. I would prefer the Canadians storming the beach with me than the French or Dutch actually.

The Marines used to call the WM's "Crack Troops." Are they still called this?

"Is this a joke? "

It comes from the Toronto Star, which is itself a joke.
