But contrary to the author’s claims, NORAD’s “threat picture” has adjusted, and continues to adjust, to a range of modern threats, including the cruise missiles and drones that he mentions. If there are deficiencies in NORAD’s capabilities, especially those relative to protecting Canada, the party to hold responsible for that is Canada — not the United States and not NORAD. At the same time, it is entirely wrong to conclude that participation in NORAD somehow erodes Canada’s sovereignty and security.
