VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA-- Canadians will be able to sleep better tonight, knowing that the four billion dollar tetron missile defense shield is now operational. The new system, capable of deflecting ballistic missiles, was quietly deployed over the weekend, while the world was busy watching the new Survivor series.

The Pacific missile shield generator is responsible for protecting Western Canada from ballistic missiles.

The hydro-powered energy shield is capable of resisting airborn missile attacks from the Russians, Chinese, Americans, and other rogue nations such as the North Koreans, and quite possibly the Samoans. [continued]

I think they're most worried about the Samoans. :biggrin:

Well I do anyway--many Canadian friends. But if Canada did install a defense shield, I'm not so sure I'd question it. You folks get too left-wing, and you may be added to the "Axis of Evil." :wink:
