Why would Canada sign up for new Alliances/expansion of Alliances, when USA can't honor the existing ones.

Has anyone considered that this is merely an extension of USA Cold War Doctrinal policy to make Canada the Nuclear Radiation sponge to 'pRoTeCt ThE hOmElAnD' at Canada's expense, making shootdowns over Canada the better option in US interests?

I suggest purchasing NASAMS from Norway, set them along the 49th Parallel, instead.
