Speaking of, like half of the features that make the AR15 good or unique were invented in Canada to winterize it. The foward assist and brass deflector were originally modifications for the C7A1, basically "what if the AR15/M16 didn't suck and melt anywhere that isn't an average clear day in Ohio" and the C7A2 was the first military AR variant to come with ambidextrous controls by default.

Also giving everyone scopes and machine guns is a distinctly Canadian doctrine. We basically invented the modern small unit tactical meta in WWII by having standard fire teams be intended to be highly mobile and basically every single one having at least one LMG with them, and ponied up to issue 2x scopes as standard in Bosnia.
