Mr. Speaker, Canada is the 51st state of the U.S., according to a top U.S. defence official. The U.S. is preparing to deploy a national missile defence system, violating the anti-ballistic missile treaty and angering and provoking other powers, and it expects this government to play ball.
Will the government say no to another arms build-up, no to supporting the U.S. missile defence system and insist that this entire matter be brought before the United Nations? Or, is the government indeed comfortable with being called the 51st state?
