OK, sorry if it offends your natural Canadian modesty, but your snipers are the best, bar none, in the world.
As an American, I don't understand why it comes out that way. We have ten times your population, and like you, we have a hunting tradition that includes long shots. Against smaller targets, too.
Still, for a small country (population-wise) with a small army, youse guys stand out in kilometre+ shooting.
If I was some scumbag Solider of Allah who had gained the divine favor of commanding a brigade size force, and I heard that the "international coalition" had been augmented by Canadians, I think I'd revise my routine to "critical command duties" from inside the bunker.
Our SF may be "Death From Above," but your snipers are "Death and you'll never know where it came from."
