Conservative lawmakers in Canada are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government to re-consider joining the United States in its missile defense program.

The calls come in the wake of increasing threats on the West from North Korea—including the nuclear attack of cities in the United States—coupled with an alarming advancement of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) capability being demonstrated by the communist regime.
