> Canada, which this week refused to join a U.S. missile system designed to protect North America, nevertheless insisted on Friday that Washington must consult it before firing rockets into Canadian airspace.
"This is our space, our airspace. We're a sovereign nation and you don't intrude on a sovereign nation's airspace without seeking permission," Prime Minister Paul Martin told reporters. <
So, we have to ask permission to shoot down a warhead headed our way? Right, we'll get on that, Mr. we-spend-less-than-half-of-the-NATO-average-on-defense.
Also in the article was a quote by the Conservative Party of Canada:
> The opposition Conservatives mocked Martin's comments, saying they were totally unrealistic.
"This is delusional. There are only minutes available for a decision. How can the prime minister realistically believe the U.S. will consult him before firing their interceptor missiles?" party defense spokesman Gordon O'Connor asked Parliament. <
Once again, it seems as if conservatives have a monopoly on common sense. Glad to know that intelligent conservativism transcends national borders.
SHUT YOUR MOLSON HOLE and get back behind our skirt where you've been for the last 70 years.
Sorry, I just--
LOL!
If we ignore their protests what can Canada do about it?
Can't we all get along? How about a compromise -- we won't shoot down the ones that look likely to land in Canada?
They guy is certifiable.
I hope the Canadian people see this and turn him out.
So, what are they going to do about it.
Tell that to Saddam.
Here's a thought. If a rocket is headed our way we're going to knock it down. Then Canada can send a strongly worded protect to the UN.
STOP US you maple syrup drinking frozen whiteneck.
Send Dudley after Us?
Tell them no problem if we determine from projectory analysis that the missle will hit Canada, we will mail them a notice - however, if projections suggest it will hit the U.S., we also will mail them a request but take such actions as are in our interests.
What will they do about it if we do?
Attack us with Mounties, Moosehead, Molson and moose?
Maybe we'll get lucky and Jung-Il will miss us and hit Canada instead.
We could buzz their airspace with a half-deflated Goodyear blimp, and they would be powerless to do anything about it.
What in the hell is that guy smoking? Haha...
NORAD General, 'Missile inc over Canada! Contact the canadian PM!"
NORAD Officer, 'It's ringing sir'
NORAD Officer, 'Still ringing'
If liberals would learn only to speak when they had something intelligent to say they all resemble mimes.
Else what, the mighty Canadian military will invade us!
End of sarcasm.
Hello, sorry but we here at the US Government are not able to answer your call at this time. We see a missle, probably nuclear, headed for Quebec. It should be detonating in the next 15 minutes or so.
Since you found it necessary to 'talk' to the US Government before we launch any missles to protect your country we are in the process of trying to establish communications. Please leave a name and number where you can be reached and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Have a nice day!
