When McKenna said Canada was part of missle defence "anyways" due to NATO agreements, he was being the mouthpiece for the Canadian hawks who are in love with America.
The PM said we are NOT taking part in missle defence, and he spoke for ordinary Canadians who are 75% in favour of keeping our distance from America as much as possible. Only the traitorous Elites in business, the corporate types, are in favour of playing along with the missle defence farce [and maybe a few hard christians who are blinded by their love for god?].
Most of us Canucks can see the farce of Bush and that christian military capitalist overlord crap, and we don't want anything to do with it, as much as is possible.
And how much distance IS possible for distancing Canada from that unwanted siamese twin attached to our buttocks? Could we find other nations to trade with? Could we feel secure in having "the rest of the world" to be our partner , to step in if that phony threat of 'military action from some foreign nation' ever actually happened?
SURE WE COULD!!
How do we start? -
Canada should give notice that we are looking for other trading partners, something we could not do without offending America before, but now with Americans owing us over $4+billion and saying no way will they pay it, offensive actions is a step allready taken, taken by the Americans first, thank goodness.
It has been mentioned by some softwood industry people that Canada could stop importing wine from California and other key commodities, unless the money is handed over. This would hit some Americans hard, and THEY will take their case to the White House to settle these trade issues, which means "start playing fair".
America doesn't know how to play fair, its all bully tactic with them, and in this new world that isn't a surefire way to win an arguement. The world had been getting away from that sh*t ,until "those idiots" elected a burning Bush again.
So, Yes, Canada can trade with other nations, we can change from a 'fossil fools based economy' to a hemp based economy if we choose to, because this is a free world, with only America in the way. Its not suprising anymore to see such blatant hypocracy from America as they try to make the world believe their military machine is "spreading freedom".

"It's now clear how the Bush administration sees things: Canadian sovereignty exists only at its pleasure. If we do what Washington wants, we retain our sovereignty. If we don't, all bets are off.
Paul Cellucci, Canada's ambassador in the USA, expressed puzzlement over Canada's decision to "in effect, give up its sovereignty."
No doubt the Soviets felt similar puzzlement as they rolled into Czechoslovakia in 1968. What's with these crazy Czechs? Don't they get it? All they have to do is co-operate with Moscow and they can retain their "sovereignty."
It's only rape if you resist."
K - that really speaks volumes about the farce of it all.
As if the farce of missles from North Korea were not enough of a farce!! Just like the 9-11 hit was not from terrorists, and the WMD in IRaq were not real, and the war on drugs too... its all PHONEY. This is what we have to stand up to - its a moral matter, one of leading the world into the light.
It is only because Canada's political powers have been spread out in a minority government "so that one group cannot be controlled to pander to the Americans" - all voices are being heard and this is what happens. Ordinarily, Canada would be joining right along with missle defence.
Here is another quote from another link:
"Let us, while we're at it, sing the virtues of minority government. We've seen nothing like it since the Pearson minority government of the 1960s, when we stayed out of the American War in Vietnam and let the war resisters find refuge here."
"In a world of Corporate Rule we just drew, re-drew, the line and said that some things are off limits.
"On the other hand, the corporate elite's spokesperson, Tom d'Aquino of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, always stands ready to serve the higher power to the south.
"Throwing sand in the machinery of the military-industrial complex is no gesture; it is an honourable attempt to slow the lurch of war. "

So two of Canadas writers are brave enough to say the truth about the American-Canada squabble. They have found a place to write it, free of the corporate rule we are under most of the time, too much of the time.
All that old hippy stuff , conspiracy stuff, about the military industrial complex having power that was not given to them democratically, well, its real, its the truth, and now some of the boomer generation is seeing it clearly for the first time.
We have been brainwashed, we have been manipulated in our thinking, we have been led down a path that is not good for us. Media, advertising, and mostly that old idea of "just playing along" have taken their toll on freedom and free will and the environment and dignity of people... and now we see it and so we are saying ENOUGH - IT STOPS HERE, WE WON'T PLAY ALONG ANYMORE.
