Last week, despite intense pressure from the Bush administration, Canada refused to join the U.S.’s missile defense plan. In response, the U.S. claimed Canada has relinquished sovereignty over its own airspace:
From now on, the U.S. government will control any decision to fire at incoming missiles over Canadian territory, declared the top U.S. envoy to Canada.
I wonder how will seizing control over Canada’s airspace and pouring billions and billions and billions of dollars into missile defense make our ports, trains, and chemical plants more secure?
