The Daily Caller:
Canada’s official opposition Conservatives say it’s time Canada joined the U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD) system. Conservative Member of Parliament James Bezan told The Daily Caller Thursday that Justin Trudeau’s government needs to immediately begin discussions about joining BMD and “making it an integral part of NORAD.”
Bezan said the Liberal’s defense policy released this summer is already out of date, given the evolving nuclear threat of North Korea.
During their nine years in government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Conservatives steadfastly ignored U.S. offers to join BMD. However, the man who was defense minister for most of that time, Peter MacKay, recently said that he erred in not pushing harder to join the system.
