Prime Minister Mark Carney said he has had talks with Donald Trump about it. The defense system is designed to detect, track and potentially intercept incoming missiles.
Canada is conducting “high level” talks with the United States over joining Donald Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense program, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.
Trump announced his plans the previous day to develop the multilayered, $175 billion (€155 billion) system with ground- and space-based capabilities that can defend against a wide range of enemy weapons, like drones, hypersonic and cruise missiles, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The US President said he expected the missile shield to be ready by the end of his second term in 2029.
Carney just won for his anti-Trump stance. And now dude’s making deals with him just a couple weeks later.
Canadians, are you pissed off?
We didn’t vote for Carney for his hatred of Trump. If we voted for Carney’s party, it was because the alternative would have already sold us out completely.
…Like, in a heartbeat. We’d already be rounding up the inuit and sending them to Trinidad or something equally as wrong. I’d be saving my money for my routine MRI coming up. We’d be dismantling the train system to make some offensive statue of Milhouse the Squatter.
Are you suggesting we’d think Carney’s perfect and not merely the better of two imperfect choices? Do you know how politics works?
I’m going off headlines. So maybe the reality has been distorted. But as a non-Canadian looking in this is how it’s been presented to us
People like OP are either malicious or stupid. Or bots. Rather than try to make their guy look good, they try to make everyone else look bad.
I’m definitely annoyed at the optics of it if nothing else, but for now I am cautiously optimistic that they know what they are doing and that this is a carefully calculated discussion.
