I don't believe the general is correct. I wonder why he's trying to stir up trouble?

But on the upside, the committee also heard North Korea views Canada as a "peaceful" and "friendly" country.Until they don't anymore, and that could change on a moment's notice.

Canada is a founding member of NATO. It would be unthinkable of the U.S. not to cone to it’s aid.

Any nuclear attack on Canada would have a huge negative impact on the U.S. Radiation knows no borders.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
The US most certainly would defend Canada!
The US would also defend Mexico.
This general is spouting bullshit :-/

Because Canada made a poor assumption according to the article.
Canada has long avoided joining the US ballistic missile defence programme, under the assumption that the US would shoot down a nuclear missile heading for its northern neighbour anyway.

Pretty much. That's why I think North Korea is unlikely to attack South Korea with nukes given that North Korea is only 30 miles Soul. The radiation will go right back at them.

General St-Amand is likely telling the committee what they want to hear to feed their disdain for President Trump.
Canada and the U.S. were two of NATO's founding nations. We have stood by each other since then.
A Russian nuclear attack on either the U.S. or Canada would be a attack on the other. North Korea is no different.

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area. I suspect General St-Amand is simply trying to make Canadian MPs understand that a nation always has to be prepared to stand alone, even when it has strong alliances. Too often US allies - even very close US allies - start to take the umbrella of American protection for granted. It's supposed to be a two way street - not an excuse to neglect your own defence.

This guy is full of crap. If the norks lobbed a missile at anywhere near the west coast of north america, they would be on the receiving end of a veritable shit storm.

He’s a Royal Canadian Air Force Lieutenant general who works for the Trudeau regime. IOW, he’s talking out of his ass, as his boss does.

Let’s put the general’s comments into perspective. No. Korea views Canada as “friendly, etc” because they know that Trudeau Junior is, like his father, a Marxist who won’t oppose another Marxist state. PERIOD.
The treason is spreading.
Well, Canada certainly is not defending us from the wicked wrath of Islam.

A Canadian has served as chairman of NATOs military committee twice since 1963, and General Peach of their mother country was just put in the job.
I’m thinking General Pierre St. Aumond must be a Frog AND a hoser dissing our alliance as he did, ignoring NATO.
On the other hand, Fat Boy might aim at Long Beach and hit Thunder Bay. Or they might nuke Canada and no one knows for a while ... so maybe that accounts for their nonchalance.
