It is a disgrace for a maritime country with more coastline then anyone in the world, to have a navy as old and weak as Canada's.  They can literally do nothing and would have to rely solely on the US.  The "best" Canadian Navy ship can't even cross the Atlantic Ocean and is almost 50 years old.  Canada keeps shrinking their military budget and relies on the coat tails of the US for military purposes.  They better start building up, because Russia wants more Arctic control... and Canada is losing.  The US will have to take control of it if Canada does not.

Oh... and this should say something.  Mexico's Navy is more capable then Canada's.

Has nothing to do with a Latino country.  Don't make it Latino nationalist problem based on ethnicity/race.

It has everything to do with Mexico's lack of control in their own federal government and their lack of a real strong Navy. 

And while we are at it, Spain has a weak Navy too.

For a country like Spain, one would think they would want a better navy too, having all that control at the entrance to the Mediterranean.  Britain still owns that chunk of Gibraltar, so they have a lot of clout there too still.

Mexico is fuked because they have two coasts with no way of connecting forces, horrible supply lines, and a federal government as useful as mayonnaise on a 98 degree day in Arizona.  They have to build up two separate forces.

Canada has this amazing shield that protects not only them, but the US.  It's the vast Canadian Shield that is so desolate and empty, it would be nearly impossible at the current state to attack from the north.  But Canada needs to get their Navy together to long term security with resources and a growing Russian Arctic fleet.  If the ice melts more and more, this will become a more viable shipping lane/route and it will need to be controlled and protected. 

Mexico is in a poor state unfortunately, but they can't put a stop to the cartels and drug lords who dominate all levels of government.  They have no navigable rivers, and the country is not blessed geographically. 

Spain is also not even united with a region wanting to break away completely.  Protected with Andorra to the north, it also limits Spain's trade routes and hinders growth.  It has been a problem since before the 90s rebuilding.  Back in the old days, the mountains protected them, but limited them in growth, and still does to a degree.

The term "mucho cri" didn't set off any "I'm pulling your leg" alarms?

Nope, none whatsoever. ;)

It seems so much today, people like to bring race into anything... so you can't let your guard down.  What you said, some people would actually believe as true, and I had to make it clear it wasn't.  Had to step on it, then stomp on the idea.
