That depends of the context of the question. If he was a member of the US army and served with Canadians, he would wear an American uniform. If he was an American and he joined the Canadian military, he would wear a Canadian uniform.

Yes. This charge is known as desertion or being "AWOL" (absent without leave).

Yes, and No. A Canadian who is only a Canadian citizen cannot. You must become a US citizen first. There are cases with other US Special Forces where they will waive the citizen requirement for Canadian and some other friendly countries, the SEALs unfortunately are not one of them. So there is not an easy way to become a SEAL or have the chance to become a SEAL without being a citizen. This is from the SEAL website where the requirement is:

"U.S. Citizen (Not waiverable)"

However, you may be interested in the Canadian Special Forces, such as our Tier-1 Special Force unit(Equivalent to UK SAS, US Delta) Joint Task Force 2(JTF-2) or the new regiment being start Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR). JTF2 is a world-renowned but high secretive unit, and like the SEALs undergo many secret operations such as actions in Iraq and other places where our conviential forces are not in operation or not welcome.

CSOR is a new unit started in 2006, still not sure what they are going to become, its still pretty much up in the air. However those are some options for you in Canada that are open and perform roughly similar duties as SEALs(Unconvential Warfare, Direct Action, etc) but for Canadians.

Canadians have NEVER STARTED a war, but they have ended quite a few, thru their ability to fight. Since the 1950's the political direction, from the Govenment of Canada, has been to stress a non-aggressive posture for the Canadian Forces, with most training being focused on rapid deployment of small units that can act as peacekeepers, interposed between two armed factions, such as in Cyprus, or Egypt. As a middle sized power, not a super power, Canada leads the way in diplomatic ways of de-fusing international conflicts. By being persuasive and offering to step in to bring peace, Canada has developed a international reputation as a " friend to all ". The result is that in most places in the world, Canadians are well regarded, and are welcome to visit.

It's still worth one dollar in Canada.

The Canadian Maritime Forces (MARCOM) currently operates 4 Victoria-class Diesel-Electric submarines. However, noting (like every other major power has already) the limitations and expense of maintaining diesel boats, it has undergone a new program of developing nuclear powered boats. It's estimated the first will be ready within the next 2 or 3 years.

The official Service Rifle of the Canadian Forces is the Diemaco C7. They also use the C8 carbine, and C6 machine gun and the C9 light Machine gun. The official Side-Arm is the Browning Hi-Power 9mm. The MP5 is also in use, but mostly by JTF2 and CSOR (Canada's Special Forces).

Canada's military size is quite even to countries of the same size. Being compared to the larger military's in the world even if our countries matched their population we would be significantly smaller. Canada's army currently consists of 60,000 active soldiers and 20,000 reserves.
