I am not in the military and am new to Canadian Army Forums but was wondering what you guys think of this? I couldn't find a thread already started so I just made a new one. Do you think this a threat to Canadian Sovereignty? Since it would legally allow US Forces to come to Canada in the event of a "civil emergency" of some unspecified kind. They're calling it the civil assistance plan and saying that it would only be enacted with consent from the civilian leadership on either side. However, what if there is an ongoing threat of some kind to US interests here- like oil or water supply? The reason I'm asking you guys is you are the ones charged with defending our sovereignty so your opinions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Could we end up with a permanent US presence on Canadian soil, and if so is that in our National interests? How about a North American Army? Would that make things easier for the defence of North America? I'm not saying that either is a bad idea, just askin for input.
