Did Bush threaten Canada?

[FartinMowler]

Is Bush pissed that Canadians didn't want him re-elected so that's why he slipped out the fact that he want's us on board for his Ballistic missiles? It seem's as though we where threatened with trade. I'm sorry I really hope we can hold our breath for the next clown you elect :/

The Letters of Intent do not constitute an agreement between Canada and the United States on Canadian participation in BMD. The exchange is a non-binding mechanism developed by both nations to facilitate further talks on BMD. When the discussions have concluded, the Government will assess if Canadian interests have been met and will take a decision on Canadian participation in BMD. Due to the complexities of the issues at stake, these talks are expected to take a number of months.

More recently, Canada has begun devoting considerable resources to supporting the G8 Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction. Through this initiative, Canada will focus on working closely with its G8 partners, including Russia, to assist Russian authorities to secure the destruction of chemical weapons, dismantle nuclear submarines, ensure the safe disposition of nuclear fissile materials, and find employment for former weapons scientists.
