OK, please, don't take my opinion as gospel, because I'm Canadian and not fully up to speed on the issue, BUT....
The issue isn't one of defence in our borders, as I see it. If push came to shove we would be right next to the Americans, you're our closest neighbors and allies. The issue is more one of dropping a ton of money into a system that barely works on a good day, with a booster start and a tail wind.
Other Canadians may disagree with me. But in my personal opinion, if the Americans came to us with a system that worked MOST of the time (hell, perfection not an issue, I'll take most of the time), I would vote to support it.
