Interesting, thanks. Good for the US military Northern
Command for being more open to U.S. people than the
Canadian were. Brickbats to the Canucks, on that one.

The headline could more correctly be ..

Canada, U.S. agree to possible military cooperation in extreme civil emergency.
(Canada, U.S. agree to use each other's troops in civil emergencies), is a bit iffy

Which would not be surprising as am guessing they probably have before.

These two caught my eye ..

.. "greeted with suspicion by the left wing in Canada and the right wing in the U.S.' ..

Just wondering why the left wing in the U.S. and the right wing in Canada, aren't included .. and this one ..

.. "If U.S. forces were to come into Canada they would be under tactical control
of the Canadian Forces but still under the command of the U.S. military" ..

I don't understand that one, yet.

Oh, just now ..

.. ""it is being used as evidence of a plan for a "North American
union" where foreign troops, not bound by U.S. laws, could be
used by the American federal government to override local authorities. ..

LOLOl .. that would be a switch. Is there any other country
in the world that has bought and blackmailed countries into
giving foreign troops immunity from local laws, except the U.S.?

Maybe there are, or is it just another strictly Goose-for-the Gander one.
Canadian troops immune from American laws. Yep, that would be a giant flip-flop.

Thanks.
