Is Canada's Defence Policy over reliant on the United States in terms of funding initiaves and agreements for North American Defense?

Hello

I think this is a good idea but the question might be better phrased in a way that would generate a more general perception like maybe a question that asked "When committing Canada to overseas peace keeping missions, to what extent should the Canadian government rely on the the US for funding?" and then have 1. a lot 2. somewhat 3. not very. 4. Not at all. Or something like that then instead of just having their yes/no opinion on reliance you have their opinion on how much reliance is acceptable and a range which is helpful because you can do a lot more with these variables then just yes/no variables. Personally i think we should stay away from yes no questions because they so not encode a lot of information. Also I think we should not put things like "imagine a terrorist attack in Canada in the United States" because it might ignite fear or intense feelings that will effect the answer to the question, which re-phrased might have a different response. But I think overall the idea for this question is interesting.
