Canada has a long tradition of stripping its military to the bare bones between conflicts. However, we usually keep a nucleus of highly trained pros and a system of calling up large numbers of militia (your reserves) in time of conflict and using that highly trained core of pros to instruct the militia.
You need a small group of highly motivated pros? Can do.
Need to defend yourself from a large aggressive neighbor? Ummm, give us 6-12 months. :-)
