Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS OTTAWA 000929 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: MARR, PREL, CA, NATO SUBJECT: CANADA RATIFIES NATO ENLARGEMENT REF: USNATO 387 (U) Two days after NATO signed the protocols on accession of the seven new members to NATO (reftel), Canada became the first country to ratify the protocols. Prime Minister Chretien announced the ratification on March 28, saying that the new members bring to NATO "additional capabilities, extended geographical reach and greater security for the future." COMMENT: GoC support for the seven was approved by Cabinet in July 2002, and reaffirmed by Cabinet in preparation for the NATO signing. Expansion has been uncontroversial here, and Canadian ratification was almost a formality. END COMMENT. CELLUCCI
