daswig,
My point is that Canada's (hypothetical) anger at us if we defended North American airspace against hypothetical North Korean missile barrage is misdirected: I would think you'd be angry at whomever launched said missiles, not the friend that helped protect you. I think that is retsuki03's question too.
Our posts were near identical so I assume we're thinking along similar lines in this particular case.
RE: Canada's 3rd largest navy. In the given context, I think it may have been a gag on the sailor's part but someone should check with either Jane's or CIA.gov to see naval strengths (I'm too lazy, sorry). I would have thought either UK or France have larger navies or even China (quantitative, not qualitative) than Canada given their own downsizing etc.
Is the missile defense just a bunch of Patriot batteries or is it something else? Maybe Canada has a problem with success rate?
