::Good point. Canada's defense is 99% under US control so it lacks independence in foreign policy. Therefore Trudeau tried symbolic things like statements that annoyed Americans. I expanded the military section. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 12:49, 9 November 2009 (EST)

:::where did you get the 99% figure from? It would seem to me that if the Americans controlled that much of the Canadian military, the Canadians would have fought in Vietnam and Iraq, allowed for the deployment of a nuclear arsenal on Canadian soil, etc. etc. [[User:MichaelHWC|MichaelHWC]] 13:44, 9 November 2009 (EST)

::::all of Canada's defense against Russia was controlled by the US. It could defend itself against anyone else. The US did not try to control Canada's foreign policy. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 14:25, 9 November 2009 (EST)
