Personally, I don't doubt Canada will be fully involved, eventually.

Jack Layton will probably have a stroke when he finds out, and after he recovers he will probably declare the unofficial alliance with the liberals OVER!

Yup, get your shoes on of to the election booth we go. Too bad the Conservatives are for the missile defense also. I doubt the country will Elect the NDP.

I'm saying it could delay our involvement by potentially putting our gov't into a stalemate situation. Very tricky situation I agree, so alot can happen in a short amount of time. For all we know we could be going back to the polls in Spring...
Martin will reject missile defence: report
OTTAWA - Prime Minister Paul Martin will reject Canadian participation in the U.S. missile defence program.
Martin plans to announce in the House of Commons as early as Thursday that the country will not partake fully in the controversial program.
The news comes hours after Canada's next ambassador to the United States, Frank McKenna, set off a storm by saying Canada is already taking part in the program because it has agreed Norad can monitor the skies for incoming missiles.
Martin's planned announcement will mark an abrupt change from his position 16 months ago during the Liberal leadership race, when he signaled that Canada should partake in missile defence. Since then, Martin has insisted that he hasn't reached a decision on whether Canada should be a full partner.
