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

Julia, I don't think this question is framed as a fear mongering or meant to be framed as such. Terrorism is something that is so prevalent in today's world and is a threat that everyone should be concerned about. Canada's mission in Afghanistan was as a result of the war on terror but eventually it evolved into a peace-keeping mission to create stability in Afghanistan.
