Continental defence

While the rest of the world withdraws from its associations with the US, Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin apparently wants to

renew the mandate of a joint Canada-U.S. military planning group, which has been working on an ambitious project that could bring the armies and navies of both countries under a single command for North American defence.

I think it's a bad idea to collaborate with the American military in any way, and I think it's a horrible idea to give them a foothold on Canadian soil. I've emailed my MP, and I've encouraged my friends to do the same, asking him to help prevent this from happening.
