Touchy question of ballistic missile defence raised in Bush-Martin talks

[maddezmom]

OTTAWA (CP) - Ballistic missile defence, which has become an anti-American touchstone for many Canadians, wasn't supposed to be discussed when U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) visited Tuesday.



But it was - and that's likely to stoke the political fires under the controversial issue. Talks between Bush and Prime Minister Paul Martin were to have covered a range of topics, from mad cow disease to border security. But missile defence wasn't on the list outlined by officials.


Bush said however that it did come up.


"We also discussed ways to strengthen the security partnership that for more than six decades has helped to keep this continent peaceful and secure," he told a news conference following his meeting with Martin.
