You mean NORAD missile defence system?
The point of putting it around Canada was so missiles would be shot down over it instead of the US
If NORAD can keep us safe from Santa they can keep us safe from anything
Dude, nothing can protect us from Santa.
Except for Mrs. Claus! She stomps her foot and Santa gets grounded and goes to his room with his tail between his legs (yeah, they have a separate room arrangement)

You are so wrong… the most direct route for a missile attack to US from Russia passes over Canada, hence the location.
They could still put it along the US border but it doesn’t make sense for the US to shoot missiles down on top of themselves
That’s such a stupid take. They put it as far north as possible so they could get as much notice as possible. Even today it takes time to respond and you need as much as you can get. Even today, shooting down a ballistic missile at high hypersonic speeds with multiple warheads is much easier the earlier in flight you can shoot
