President Donald Trump left out a key detail this week when he outlined his plans for a massive missile and air defense shield over the continent: He can’t build it without Canada.

Ottawa has historically funded about 40 percent of NORAD investments, according to VanHerck, and is putting $38 billion into the command to add new radars in the north over the next two decades. Without those investments — and additional sensors that can peer over the North Pole — officials believe the U.S. will have trouble putting together a credible North American air defense.

Fucking no way Canada should spend money on this total grift. That being said, I am fine with Carney engaging with them on this if only to stall until the midterms and then until Trumps end of term. Stall, stall and more stall. We should do that on CUSMA and in fact in all talks with the yanks.
