Those fretting about a loss of Canadian sovereignty resulting from a North American security perimeter might (!) want to consider Prime Minister Stephen Harper's recent declaration that "a threat to the U.S. is a threat to Canada."
The statement was largely overlooked in media reporting on a White House news conference Feb. 4, when Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama announced talks about the security perimeter initiative.
But this is the second time Harper has delivered such messaging. In February 2009, when Obama visited Ottawa, the prime minister decreed: "Threats to the United States are threats to Canada."
This notion, in fact, "is a refinement, but consistent with" the 1940 Ogdensburg Agreement struck by then prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King and then American president Franklin Roosevelt, reports former diplomat Colin Robertson, an authority on Canada-U.S. relations.
That agreement introduced closer Canadian-American military co-operation and established the Permanent Joint Board of Defence.
A country's military surely is the greatest symbol of its sovereignty and, in recent years, the two countries have arranged for their security bureaucracies to become more closely intertwined. This merging of operations has prompted little apparent nervousness or backlash on either side of the border.
Yet, when Canada and the U.S. talk about co-ordinating government regulations and standards, nervous Nellies come out of the woodwork to issue warnings about loss of sovereignty.
On the military side, since 1957, the two countries have co-operated through a binational North American Aerospace Defense Command, or Norad.
While this body for decades safeguarded continental air space, in May 2006, it moved to add the guarding of Canadian and American maritime approaches to its duties.
In February 2008, Canada and the U.S. signed an agreement allowing the use of forces from one nation to support the other during a civil emergency, when asked.

I should mention that I personally never buy into this nationalist football game, which is essentially a one up from religion. Its like this. They want to keep all the degenerates fixated on national sentiments ("sovereignty"), because they know the rich done got too rich, stuff is running out, and there are no more countries to bleed dry to fuel peoples endless lust for sanitized cheap goods, except post-colonial Africa which is in political shambles, and its their fault, they know that the crux of all problems do not stem from immigration (people coming over here to serve you coffee, such a fucking privilege to work for minimum wage and tolerate your disrespect, yeah that's really why its all falling apart after a century of total fucking gluttony you stupid motherfuckers) rather they stem from the upper echelons of society, the people actually making decisions, which should be obvious! Emphasis on should! Its quite simple really, people in power LIKELY have more effect than those with none, and are responsible. Pretty fucking straightforward!!!
