Better late than never, I guess:

"A Department of National Defence press release issued early Friday morning announced the signing of a US $3.2 million (CAD $4.3 million) contract with Victoria, B.C.-based armourer M.D. Charlton to purchase Sig Sauer P320 handguns and holsters as part of its C22 full-frame modular pistol procurement program.

The program will initially purchase 7,000 pistols for use by the Canadian Army, with options for up to 9,500 additional weapons for the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Navy and military police services.

If all options are exercised the contract value will grow to $7.6 million."

They're purchasing just enough to outfit the Chicago Police Department. It really gives you an idea of how small Canada really is. California has a larger population than Canada as a whole and New York is just about equal with the Canadian Armed Forces in terms of their manpower.

Canadian Active Duty Personnel number 67,492 in the Canadian Military while every police agency in New York is 66,472 Police Officers.

If it wasn't for them bordering the United States, they'd have been conquered by someone else by bow historically.

Canada is large geographically, but not in population.
