U.S.-Canada: Canada Expects Missile Defense Debris If a U.S. missile defense shield worked successfully against an incoming threat, Canada would play the role of “debris acceptance,” the Ottawa Citizen reported yesterday (see GSN, Dec. 16, 2002). The Canadian Defense Department noted the possibility of debris hitting Canada in a report written last year. “Even without participation (in missile defense) we are still involved (with) ‘debris acceptance,’” according to the report. Canada has yet to make an official decision on participation in the U.S. national missile defense program, but Defense Minister John McCallum recently said that missile defense “may be a good idea for Canada” (David Pugliese, Ottawa Citizen, May 4).
