Prime Minister Mark Carney said he has had talks with Donald Trump about it. The defense system is designed to detect, track and potentially intercept incoming missiles.
Canada is conducting “high level” talks with the United States over joining Donald Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense program, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.
Trump announced his plans the previous day to develop the multilayered, $175 billion (€155 billion) system with ground- and space-based capabilities that can defend against a wide range of enemy weapons, like drones, hypersonic and cruise missiles, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The US President said he expected the missile shield to be ready by the end of his second term in 2029.
The only enemy Canada currently needs protection from is the U.S. This “golden dome” isn’t to protect Canada but to keep outside support out when the U.S. finally invades. As general Ackbar said “it’s a trap”.
Come on Canada, don’t fall for any Trump bullshit. It has a flashy name but will be full of grift and empty promises.
This would be such a dumb decision. Does anyone remember Star Wars? Not the movie, the defense system Regan started? Isn’t this the same thing? It will never come to fruition, billions of dollars will disappear into private company’s pockets.
billions of dollars will disappear into private company’s pockets.
That’s probably the whole purpose of it.
This will shackle us to the bloated corpse of the US.
