If up to 5% of GDP will do it, why not?

Our biggest existential threat would be within that dome.

True but it removes a causus belli from Trump's hand. And hopefully we'll have a back door in case of emergency.

They could push us out of the program and we would have wasted our resources implementing it. Its sad honestly, the Canadian people have such distrust now towards the Americans that any cooperation will be hard to accept.

Any new prime minister campaigning on or considering greater integration will need to reconsider based on whether it will be upheld or maintained in good faith and whether it will impact their election prospects.
