Exactly. The only reason Martin did not go in is because the Liberals have a minority government which means that the other parties can legally collude to force an election.
Martin has been flip-flopping on the issue for a while. He is just playing a clever balancing act to counter his precarious political position within Canada. There was no financial burden to Canada for this. It only meant that they would be in the room when decisions on how these situations would be handled if one were to occur. Now, Canadian representatives will not be allowed to sit on those talks. As Mike said...political posturing. - Frank On Mon, 28 Feb 2005 14:23:15 -0400, Yves Arsenault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Also, > > I believe that the NORAD (I believe it's that one) agreement between > the US and Canada actually does give the US some use of Canada's > airspace. > > I cases of defense. > > As far as I know, PM Paul Martin is just playing a balancing act with > words.
