	Encyclopedia: Frank McKenna (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Francis Joseph (Frank) McKenna (born January 19, 1948 in Apohaqui, New Brunswick, Canada) was a Premier of New Brunswick.
		Frank McKenna was raised in the home of his grandparents who lived adjacent to his parents, because his large family could not be wholly housed in his parents' home.
		McKenna blasted the U.S. bureaucracy and Congressional system of government saying "the government of the United States is in large measure dysfunctional." He contrasted it with Canada's government, and praised Canada's strong parliamentary party discipline as being much more "efficient" though sometimes less preferable.

	Frank McKenna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the general public, McKenna beat former NDP Ontario Premier Bob Rae by a margin of 23 to 11 while among self-identified Liberals, McKenna beat former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada John Manley by a margin of 28 to 13.
		On February 22, 2005, McKenna told reporters Canada was already a part of the U.S. National Missile Defense (NMD) (or Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)) program through an amendment to the NORAD agreement made on August 5, 2004, which granted U.S. access to NORAD's missile warning systems explicitly for use in NMD.
		While Canadian defence minister Bill Graham said McKenna was simply misunderstood (as the NORAD agreement and missile defence are separate), this initial contradiction was interpreted by others as evidence of characteristic indecision by the Martin government and was seen to somewhat hamper McKenna's credibility.

		McKenna was referring to Canada’s participation in the controversial so-called missile defence system being implemented by the Bush administration, basing his assessment on an August 2004 letter affirming Canada’s continued cooperation with the United States in NORAD.
		Not having yet retracted his comments, McKenna’s statement indicates that he believes that the affirmation of NORAD cooperation amounts to an agreement to participate in missile defence.
		So, with his comments Tuesday, either McKenna committed a major error is failing to toe the Liberal party line, or he made a calculated move to push forward military collaboration between the Canadian government and Washington.
