Well unknown to many Canada has an advanced space program and it trains future astronauts through the Canadian Astronaut Corps. This is evident from the fact that about 10 (I don't recall the exact number) astronauts from Canada have flown along side US astronauts and Russian cosmonauts. Chris Hadfield is the most common name that comes to mind. They are pretty experienced I must say. And then there is the Canadarm, the robotic arm manufactured by Canada that is an absolute vital component of the International Space Station. Without it there can be no fittings or repairs.
