Canada probably thinks it can 'opt in' at any time.
Does it matter what Canada thinks?
It's all political garbage from Canada to serve some internal agenda. Are elections coming soon in Canada?
Canada will be covered no matter what and they know that too. Their contribution is nominal (If there was any to begin with?). Whether they come or go in the program makes absolutely no difference, NMD will come. The program is near complete, NOW they chime in and are against it.
Wow-Canada is against it! I really really care. Is Uganda for or against it? What about Nepal? What is the Nepalese opinion on US National Missile Defense? It really matters to me, not because it matters in some functional way, but because CNN talks about it (sarcasm). Seriously though, besides the Canadians who say we should care what they think and are screaming “we’re against it now, today, for the time being, maybe”, who cares? There is no aspect where they matter. NONE! Besides them having discussions with themselves, talking about things they can’t change or influence, what difference do they make? This is one of those topics that becomes politicized and made into something for some domestic political gain. I’m not up to date on the current Canadian political lay of the land, nor do I care! But why do they talk so much about something they: Won’t influence much, don’t pay for, is near complete, and most people don’t even care about (reference their opinion)?
