Should Canada Support Norad

[ham_ahoy]

Personally I think its the dumbest idea I've ever heard of....

[ecnarf]

Dude, a canadian is already second in command at NORAD.

 

We've been a part of it for years.

[saturnine]

this would've been a relevant question in the early 80's

[middle class gangster]

having this poll here is kinda dumb cause not many of us(nearfantastica.com and matt good fans) support shit(norad) like this.

[Crusader]

Changing this to "support" instead of "join".

[saturnine]

norad's always been around and it will be around for quite sometime. arguing it is a moot point. theyre aren't harming anybody. it's not like they're blowing up missiles over your city every other week.

[Kayriss]

Did the person who put this up just now know what they were talking about? Do they maybe mean, the missile defence plan? In that case, It seems we're already a part of that too, depending on who you ask.

[pearanoid]

Do you think Canada should try and claim it's independance from the British?

[Ravenous Yam]

I think we should get rid of our remaining ties to the crown, especially the Governor General.

[Biggie]

I agree with yam.

[ham_ahoy]

I'm refering in particular to the missle defense system that Bush is pushing, not NORAD in specific, apparently Martin is to say no this Thursday

[Kayriss]

No way should Canada give up its connection to the crown. We're a very young country. We would not exist without our unique history. If we went down the path towards republicanism, what would make us different from the United States? We aren't bound legally to do anything that the Canadian people don't want to do, so whats the point? I hate people who rant about "freeing" commonwealth countries from British affiliation.

 

What is it about long, old traditions that people are so abhorred by? Canada is a nation steeped in old, colourful traditions, and without them, what would we be? Things without history, or traditions, are soulless and empty, and I'd hate to see this country end up like that. The less we can sell ourselves off to the Americans the better.

[Mr. Chips]

WE'RE ALREADY INVOLVED WITH NORAD!

 

 

What I think he meant to ask was if we should get involved with the missle defense plan.

 

Paul Martin already declared that he doesn't support it. AND HE'S FUCKING RIGHT!

[ham_ahoy]

I completely agree.... its odd how Jack Layton got all pissy about Martin's decision when he was one of the most vocal people against the missle defence program....

[HoboFactory]

That is one badass beaver.

[Biggie]

;) I think that seriously over-estimated Canada's influence on the US.

[Sparq]

Just hope Uncle Sam doesn't decide to whack us with that spanner.
