Canada's military alliances have involved patriots in foreign wars and brought death to more Canadian than American fighting men in the past century. The history of Canada's military alliances is traced back to 1812, and alternatives to pacts that commit us to fight the wars of other nations are explored. Host Gwynne Dyer leaves us to ponder the value of "acting as if we were just another middle-sized European country." Part one of the series.
