Canada, U.S. quietly sign mutual military aid pact


Canada and the U.S. have signed an agreement that paves the way for the militaries from either nation to send troops across each other's borders during an emergency, but some are questioning why the Harper government has kept silent on the deal.

Neither the Canadian government nor the Canadian Forces announced the new agreement, which was signed Feb. 14 in Texas.

The U.S. military's Northern Command, however, publicized the agreement with a statement outlining how its top officer, Gen. Gene Renuart, and Canadian Lt.-Gen. Marc Dumais, head of Canada Command, signed the plan, which allows the military from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a civil emergency.

The new agreement has been greeted with suspicion by the left wing in Canada and the right wing in the U.S.

The left-leaning Council of Canadians, which is campaigning against what it calls the increasing integration of the U.S. and Canadian militaries, is raising concerns about the deal.

1. Canada is part of NATO but since this is "secret" we can 
 only be concerned over it.

2. Again.....That trick never works!
 We got the Canadians to sign off military rights on the Great Lakes and now Homeland 'Security' boards Canadian pleasure boats on a regular basis. This can take place in US or Canadian waters. Canadians were surprised when their government had given the keys to the lakes to the US. Can't wait to hear how they will enjoy this new detail. I have begged every Canadian I know to wake up before it is too late, but I see it is too late now. Peace, Kim

the dumbass is strong
