Canada doesn't have to be involved with this venture or spend any money on it, they will benefit from it by default.
Let's say we get it working with high accuracy percentages.
Let's say a missile gets launched to North America and goes wayward, heading somewhere in Canada.
We would shoot it down, regardless of where it is going.
So...I would say it is a win-lose situation. Canadians win if we can get the system working. They get the benefits of the added defense with none of the cost--plus, Martin can save face and maintain popularity.
However.........there seems to be a few things sitting on the table that Canada would like from the U.S.
Cows and timber come to mind. These things might fall under the "lose" column for Canada.
Who knows.
