Comma Splice

In each sentence below, one comma is incorrectly used to splice two independent clauses (complete sentences) together. Change that comma to a period or semicolon (where appropriate) to create two separate sentences.

example:

A tiny Permanent Force could not defend Canada against its then-likely enemy, the United States, but it could train the Militia, the difficulty was that governments ordinarily had no interest in defence.
