As I see it, missle defense is about a lot of things but one of the main things is about China... and not, as some have suggested in preparation for war.
The US is trying (and will likely succeed) in goading China into an arms race similar to the one they had with the USSR. The administration is concerned about the growing economic and military precense that China represents. They are laying the ground work for a new arms race in a hope that they can bankrupt China the way they did the Soviets...
As such, I don't see a need for Canada to become involved. We have better things to spend out money and political currency on than another arms race...
(and don't get me started on the inevitable weaponization of space)
