No worries. The original English-speaking setters of North America had no alternative but to own self protective measures when they arrived, and national defense is still a concern, on both sides of the 54th parallel and in every country on Earth. The Canadians should be alright, there aren't really that many of them and they're all in the program or system of that anyway. It sounds like a temporal setback, that was the way they lived before parliament. The loyalists had it pretty rough, they were attacked by the federalists, who incorporated legal documents before they did and they had to communicate over longer differences to find national defense.
