Thank you for this! I will use it.

I don't currently believe that our government is planning to sign on to the dome but elevating the importance of this seems wise and timely.

I think the references supporting this notion in the article that Charlie points to were deliberately, a bit, ambiguous. Perhaps a time-buyer. They were made at a NORAD facility, in the context of Canada's role in NORAD. And so, I currently believe that the comment was referring to the modernization of NORAD, which has elements underway and more envisioned. We are already participating in. Our gov. has said they are committed to this effort.

NORAD ≠ Golden Dome.

Hopefully that's all it was, but it doesn't hurt to make it clear to our leaders that we do not support it.

Agreed 100%. Just say No to Golden Dome Trump Fantasy. Trudeau said No to Reagan, Carney can say No to Trump. Mr. Angus makes a number of very good arguments against, the most important of which being that collaboration with a fascist administration is a bad idea. Personally, I don't believe that our PM is seriously considering the Trump fantasy, especially in light of other recent actions regarding Canada's defense.

Thank you for this. I'm not hearing anything about this initiative in the not-united states. I'm glad you're preemptively fighting it. It's a major surveillance tactic. Boycott, isolate, defend, elbows up.

Letter sent - using your very well-written example (with a few tweaks). Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing this and your own letter. I had thought we'd already made a purchase from Australia as our solution. But it can't hurt, because, as you said, they need direction from us and need to know what's important. We cannot take part in a solution provided by another government that seeks to do us harm.
