Before anyone gets his panties in a wad, let's rationally discuss whether Canada should become a US Protectorate. This would mean that Canada would continue to govern its internal affairs, but would not be allowed to make foreign policy decisions that are detrimental to the security interests of the US. For example, Canada's refusal to participate in North American missile defense was an intolerable stab in the back to US and North American security interests. The fact that Canada would also be protected by this system underscores the iniquitous nature of its decision. As a result, the US had to place missile protectors all around Canada without touching its sovereign soil. In legal terms, this constitutes unjust enrichment to Canada.
Should Canada be allowed to repeat this hostile action with regard to President Trump's proposed Iron Dome defense for North America? Should the US be force to pay extra $billions for protecting Canada's little piques? What if Canada decides to turn Vancouver into a Chinese port? Should the US just wring its hands and say oh well? I don't think so, and Canada has proved itself to be a greedy and unreliable junior partner when it comes to economic cooperation with the US. What other options are available for the US to maintain its own security?
