With his sharp comments concerning Nato at the worst time with Russia acting aggressively in Eastern Europe. Trump might be playing the blackmail game with Nato with a message of "Start paying your fair share or we'll resolve it"
I would expect that in terms of Norad and Nato and Canada's role in it, there's a bit of a day of reckoning coming to Canada in terms of pulling our own weight financially when it comes to the defense of North America.
Its the message that Harper came soon after he was elected and he met with the US president who plainly stated "Someday a president is going to call Canada on its defense policy and Canada is going to lose its voice in the defense of North America and in NATO"
