Actually, in that respect it may be better off than the United States. They are part of NATO (which means they do have a certain portion of that network... if Nato cooperation can be stretched to Afghanistan it can be stretched to Pakistan too), and among many nations it would be far more acceptable politically to act as a staging area for Canadian troops than American ones.
