Abstract
The North American Air Defence Agreement (NORAD), signed by Canada and the United States in May of 1958, has given rise to considerable tensions between Canada's arms control interests and its defence policy interests, particularly in terms of Canada's relationship to the ballistic missile defence, and active space-based defence programs of the United States. Throughout the cold war, Canada maintained arms control positions of non-involvement in these programs, as it successively made NORAD and NORAD-related defence policy decisions which compromised those positions. In the signing of a rewritten NORAD Agreement in March of 1996 - the vehicle for Canadian participation in US post-cold war missile defence programs - Canada has all but discarded its antipathies to these programs, as it simultaneously retains its support for the 1972 ABM Treaty.
