Now you're just being mean.  You must have gone to York.

That`s just being mean to York grads.  I say Ryerson.

*I'm not either.  Go 'Stangs Go!*

I guess my stance on sovereignty was kind of unjustified given my lack of prior knowledge. This whole topic for me started with, this online article regarding the militarisation of North America.

The U of A never taught you to evaluate your sources before going off half-cocked ?

I am not a military analysts, I just read very dry textbooks!  I feared Harper was going to just give Canada over to the U.S.A. That was the just of it anyway, I'm not too trusting of our government on this topic anyway; I fear lack of oversight by Harper, just to get his agenda through. Again I'm just a student that’s just an opinion.

What do you think his agenda is?

You had to ask didn't you.......... :facepalm:

LOL..
Well he won't legalize pot that is a given! As for his agenda, I have a hard time telling as he plays his cards very close to his chest. I feel he needs to be more open and transparent. That is what he ran on back in the day after the ad-scam fiasco with the old Liberal party.

You do realize that this is already covered in the existing Canada-US Defence of North American agreements, and the only new aspect was the creation of Northern Command? I speak with some authority, as at one time in my career I was the Canadian desk officer for the Canada-US Land Operations Plan, commonly known as the Canus Landop.

@Old Sweat: I would like to have your input on this. Why Northern Command though? Just less bureaucracy?

 

[Old Sweat]

I have to go out in a shot while, but try this reference for a start.

Edit to add: Please note that this all dates back to 1940 when Europe had been overrun by Germany and there was some doubt the UK could survive. Also be aware that this provides a framework for Canadian forces to train in the US, and this access to desert conditions during winter months was a great help in preparing units for Afghanistan. I believe some members on this site also trained in California before deploying to the Balkans, and in 1950-1951 Canadians trained in the US before deploying to Korea.

 

[Apple2018]

Looks like good Info! I will take a closer look at. Thanks!

 

[aesop081]

Why Northern Command though?

Just like the US has "Central command", "Southern Command", "Africa Command"..........

"North" is just another part of the world.

Theres no conspiracy here...........

So your entire concept of what the Prime Minister and the CPC stand for dates to the "Secret Agenda" and "Soldiers in the streets, with guns" Liberal era political ads? Call us in 5 years when you want to discuss proposed changes to OAS.

Along with not researching the subject before launching into your 'Chicken Little' routine, you didn't research the author, Michel Chossudovsky, either. Let me help.

Granted, this is from Wikipedia, but I really can't take any of this (your assertion) serious enough to do your research for you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Chossudovsky

Criticism

In an op-ed in the conservative Canadian news outlet, Western Standard, Chossudovsky was listed as one of Canada's nuttiest professors "whose absurdity stands head and shoulders above their colleagues."[26] Specifically, the op-ed criticized GlobalResearch.ca as "anti-U.S. and anti-globalization"[26] and criticized Chussodovsky's "wild-eyed conspiracy theories", which provided the following three of his theories: that the U.S. had knowledge of the 911 attacks before they happened; that Washington had weapons that could influence climate change; and lastly, that the large banking institutions are the cause of the collapse of smaller economies.[26]

An article in The Jewish Tribune has also criticized GlobalResearch.ca as "rife with anti-Jewish conspiracy theory and Holocaust denial." B'nai Brith Canada had complained that there were comments on a forum moderated by Chossudovsky that questioned how many Jews died in the holocaust. Chossudovsky responded that there was a disclaimer that the website was not to be held responsible for the views expressed in the forum, and he had the comment removed. He also said that he was of Jewish heritage and would be one of the last people to condone antisemitic views.[27] The same article also reported that B'nai Brith Canada wrote a letter to the University of Ottawa asking for the university "to conduct its own investigation of this propagandist site."[27]

Chossudovsky has also been criticised as an "apologist for the Milošević regime", and for systematically distorting events in Albania and the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s.[28]

If you're going to get worked up about something that someone is saying. Make sure that someone is worth listening to.

I have been following this thread with much amusement over the last couple of days. Thank you for thoroughly debunking that awful awful awful link. I have a feeling the OP is just trolling us for a reaction though.

A few others around here could learn that lesson too! ;D
