“It is, for the foreseeable future, impossible to conceive of any significant external threat to Canada which is not also a threat to North America as a whole. It is equally inconceivable that, in resisting clear and unequivocal aggression against Canadian territory, Canada could not rely on the active support of the United States. Recognition of these facts, however, must not be permitted to obscure certain national responsibilities of which account must be taken in Canadian policy.”
― Paul Hellyer

“Intelligence is not just information--it is information that has been acquired, processed, and analyzed based on its relevance for the commander, the staff, or the mission.”
