    1. The most likely ways we’re getting missiles launched at us:

      – The USA are the launchers, meaning the dome would be useless.

      – There’s a global nuclear war, meaning that you’d probably rather die in an initial blast than eventually die to a nuclear winter.

    2. The only nukes we would worry about is then nuking alert or edmonton or fore wing to blind then from a northern threat. Or the US first striking us to invade or global Armageddon.

      Hard to imagine a scenario we would want to buy into that unless it comes with a binding free trade deal they don’t fuck around with.

      Trump needs us more than we need him.

      If Trump want better Arctic coverage, he needs Canada’s help. Otherwise all he has is Alaska

      I really hope Carney is just blowing smoke up Trump’s ass about this system. It’s a massive waste of time and money.

      71 billion could build a whole lot of social housing. And throwing several dozen billion more at a US defense project when we still haven’t gotten a single F-35?

      Trump has turned America into a weak diseased thing that is trying it’s best to cannibalize it’s soon to be former allies in a futile attempt to regain it’s former strength.

    6. The USA is engaging in a protection racket. The same tactics organized crime uses in extorting businesses, as in, “pay us money for protection, or else bad stuff will happen to your business until you do”.

      And Trump will continue to raise the price until he gets his way.

    7. >Canada will need to pay US$71 billion to be included in the Golden Dome defence system, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed Monday.

      >“They want to be a part of it” he told reporters on his way back to Washington following an early departure from the G7 in Alberta. “They’ll be in the dome.”

      >The Golden Dome is one of Trump’s signature defence plans. It’s modelled after Israel’s Iron Dome missile interception system. Prime Minister Mark Carney has at least [considered](https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/carney-to-speak-with-media-after-cabinet-gathers-to-plan-for-new-parliament/) getting on board, and the president had previously said Canada would need to pay US$61 billion for coverage, US$10 billion less than he cited on Monday.

      I don’t think this is a negotiation tactic. I think he just fucking forgot what he said previously.

      Maybe we can convince him he gave us the price of $51 billion CAD.

      Presuming we’re remotely interest in joining this boondoggle in the first place.

      We’re never going to pay a dime for this thing. We’ll smile and nod and do some consulting while we wait for him to have a heart attack.

      This is all bluster and we’re just playing the game.

      The Golden Dome that was non existent a mere couple of weeks ago? Where do we sign up!! We wanna be part of the country that is trillions of dollars in debt, and arresting and deporting its own citizens!!! Yay!! Sounds like a great plan!!

      Realize that this „dome“ will be a multi-year, multi US administrations project. Whatever Trump says now is almost irrelevant. If Canada decides to join in, I hope the rule that applies to NORAD will be protected, that is Command and Control over Canadian sovereign territory, maritime approaches and airspace, in the hands of Canadians
