CANADA-UNITED STATES LAW JOURNAL [Vol. 32] SPEAKER Colin Robertson* Well, thank you, Henry. I can tell you that the one truth in advertising, that last night as I was working on my remarks and I said to my 14 year-old son, I said, "Connor, do you want to listen to some of this?" So Connor lis- tened for about 90 seconds and said, "Dad, I am going to watch 'My Name is Earl."' So you are warned. As I look across, I see my friend Mark Romat and so many others, and I encourage you all perhaps to have another drink because probably the worst position one can have is speaking on a Saturday night. However, as they say, we have heard the best now, Henry, and I will try now to do what I can do.

Each year the QCIR hosts Visiting Defence Fellows from the armed forces of Canada, Germany and the United States. One of their tasks is to undertake re- search on some aspect of security and defence, for publication by their respective services and by the QCIR. Not surprisingly, many of the American VDFs have been attracted to topics exploring Canada’s participation, current or prospective, in the defence of North America.

  • The Same Yet Different
    Brister The focus of this work is the evolution of the Canada-United States security relationship in the post-9/11 era. The conclusions that result from the analysis of this period are that the relationship has remained fundamentally the THE SAME same in some ways yet has changed radically in others. Both the consistencies and the changes are influenced by the issue of Canadian sov- ereignty as a concern that permeates every aspect of the relationship, and the ongoing maintenance of the “Kingston Dispensation” as a central tenet of the relationship as a whole. YE FFEREN The evolution of the relationship is traced T through its history as a basis for the sub- DI sequent detailed examination of post-9/11 events and the influences that they had upon the relationship. The history and contemporary evolutions in the relationship are then used to assess and analyze possible futures for the re- lationship using the bilateral execution of the security plan for the Vancouver 2010 Winter T Olympics as a case study.

  • Should Ottawa Seize the Obama Moment?
    SPP Briefing Papers Focus on the United States Volume 2• Issue 3• September 2009 SAVING NORAD: SHOULD OTTAWA SEIZE THE OBAMA MOMENT? Joseph T. Jockel Professor, Canadian Studies Department St. Lawrence University Canton, New York SUMMARY The North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) is heading for obsolescence. Saving it would require reversing the Martin government’s 2005 “no” on missile defence. The Obama presidency provides the Harper government with some political cover to do so. Ottawa could also seize the opportunity to reconsider the Chrétien government’s 2002 decision not to consider broadly expanding NORAD’s roles. While it will be tempting to try to save NORAD for symbolic reasons, it should be let go. The U.S. and Canada no longer need a binational aerospace command. The focus should be on air defence cooperation, especially for special events such as the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. www.policyschool.ca INTRODUCTION: NORAD’s long and continuing demise The arrival of Barack Obama in the White House may give Canada and the United States a chance to save the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) from what otherwise will be its ongoing decline into marginality. With George W. Bush gone, there is some political cover for the Harper government to try to reverse the Martin government’s 2005 decision not to participate directly in North American missile defence. The timing may even be right to revisit the Chrétien government’s 2002 decision not to enter discussions with the United States over broadening NORAD’s mandate beyond aerospace defence and turning it into a binational homeland defence command.
