national post:
Canada's military impotence threatens Canadian sovereignty because it invites the US to take steps to defend itself against terrorist attacks, even to the point of sending troops onto Canadian soil... [The head of a commission on Canadian security] said it is even possible, if Canada does not cooperate with Washington's continental security plans - that the Americans could seal the Canada-US border and deploy their armed forces in our territory if they felt it necessary.*
