It is probably doable with TPT and LOG assets, but I don't think it is possible with armed assets; the 2 countries foreign policies are too different.
That is why they are not going forward with the aircraft carriers; they are the ultimate foreign policy (military) tools."On the plains of hesitation, bleach the bones of countless millions, who on the very dawn of victory, laid down to rest, and in resting died.

All the military publications are in both official languages, and drill can be done in either. All this makes things interesting, and makes us Canadian.
So good day, eh....
