Frank McKenna, the former Canadian ambassador to the United States, says the federal Liberals should support more joint security initiatives with the United States – including rethinking their decision not to join the American missile defence program.
In early 2005, then prime minister Paul Martin and his Liberal government rejected Canadian participation in the program. But in a paper released on Monday, McKenna argues that it's time for the party to rethink that decision.
"It certainly would be timely in view of the escalating threat around the world for us to have this dialogue," McKenna told CBC News.
He wrote the discussion paper on Canada-U.S. relations earlier in the year for the federal Liberal party's renewal committee.

I would think that he is putting his support behind Iggy.
But what do I know.
