They can go ahead and shut down Canadian NORAD sites - move the defensive line to the Dakotas! Might have to build a few more ships to get things to/from Alaska but that'll just help the shipping industry, right?

Someone has forgotten that many of the 9/11 terrorists came into the US from Canada. Pretty sure not having the Canadians helping to watch for more will be a good deterrent. Glad we've opted to not put qualified people in our government, who knows what someone with actual intelligence experience would have done?

I can’t tell if you’ve forgotten your sarcasm flag but none of the 9/11 terrorists entered the US through Canada.

Is that a criticism of Canadian border security, the rcmp, US border security, the fbi, …? Countries protect their own borders vs entry and their internal security. Who let them take flying lessons?
