For decades, Canadian governments, both Liberal and Conservative (under Brian Mulroney), wisely declined to participate in earlier versions of the Golden Dome under former U.S. presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Canada’s refusal was largely on the grounds that these so-called “missile defence” systems are not just defensive. In fact, they undermine arms treaties and encourage arms races.

It seems the only one we’re being threatened by is the country demanding we buy into their threatening system.

I want my Canada to be about peace keeping and not war mongering. I’m tired of the U.S. and their blatant industrial military complex.

We can’t trust an American anymore. We need to build our own defences that we can use to defend ourselves, from the facist South threatening our independence.

You have a chance to do something really funny and station chinese and/or russian missiles right on the border. The golden dome just got 2 trillion dollars more expensive.

As a person outside of Canada, I too do not wish for Canada in war mode.
