    In a June 2022 statement Canada had this to say about modernizing Norad.

    https://www.canada.ca/en/department-...timelines.html

    Then there is this statement from the Canadian government about acquiring new over the horizon radar from Australia as part of the already agreed to modernization of Norad.

    https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/backgro...reignty-arctic

    This having over the horizon radar capabilities appears to have been agreed to prior to Rump announcing his Golden Dome scheme. The over the horizon radar is an essential part of modernizing Norad and an integral part of the Golden Dome scheme. Without these types of radars installed in Canada the effectiveness to the US of these radars is greatly reduced by leaving a gap in the depth of coverage afforded to the US.

    Tell me again that the US doesn't need Canada and Canada was involved in what would be part of the Golden Dome scheme well before Rump arrived on the scene. No real need to ask Rump about, eh.

    President Trump just made it clear

    $61 BILLION USD for Canada to play with the Golden Dome system

    Of course it is free to the 51st State,,, Sounds like the art of the deal again

    Well Bob, I am simply waiting for you to get back on topic, until then, ces't la vie

    Art of the deal-har har you mean art of the fraud and lies.

    The "Golden Dome" is another big lie. Just like Reagan's system cost a mint and was never developed because it was never practical and either is this one. But I bet Trumps rich friends will make a mint off it.

    Har-har-har! He named it "Golden Dome" after the Muslims' Dome of the Rock (located on Jerusalem's Temple Mount). Trump's an Islamist!!!

    Why chase the world, when you can simply let it pass you by?

    So much for Trump saying he would end the war in the Ukraine within a day. That is a good one. Do you know another?

    Yes a hilarious one about Canada being $41 Billion in the rears to NATO, and not seeing any way of getting to 2% let alone 3-5% until 2030

    Tell us the story about how the EU and NATO are going to protect Ukraine one more time Bob

    Best part of the joke was Canada telling NATO they are unique in not only having two oceans of separation but being under the US umbrella of protection

    Pretty funny Eh ???

    Oddly Trump is the only one that has really tried, everyone else seems to be content to keep spending Blood and Treasure.. Funny Joke right Bob ???

    Quite the weekend. That whole thing they pulled off with sneaking all those drones close to the airports and taking out the planes. Impressive.

    Using Russians to do most of it was an awesome twist
