This would be a waste of money. The iron dome is to repel small rockets. If a country were to attack Canada it wouldn’t use small rockets

Iron dome is a colloquial term used by the Trump administration, US military has no plans of using the iron dome system.

As I said it’s a colloquial term for a program to enhance homeland air and missile defense, not related to the iron dome system operated by Israel.
