Canada's abdication of responsibility continues
Canada has informed the United States that it does not wish to allow the use of Canadian territory for North American missile defense. But the US ambassador has fired back, telling the Canadians that it has just given away its soverignity over Canadian airspace. I wish I could say that this surprises me, but I would be lying. It does make me quite angry however that the Canadians expect to enjoy all of the benefits of a system to defend our continent from nuclear attack, but are unwilling to do its part to help. So if we ever do have to detonate an incoming nuke over Canada...oh well!
UPDATE: great news on the missile defense testing front. We knocked out a short range missile less than three minutes after launch today. Congratulations to all of those scientists whose hard work is making us all safer.
