NORAD, in English only Le mercredi 2 juin 2004 Le Canada, pays officiellement bilingue, fait partie du NORAD avec les États-Unis. Cette alliance a pour but de défendre l'espace aérien de l'Amérique du Nord. Comment se fait-il que le français soit exclu du site Internet du NORAD http://www.norad.mil/ ? Extraits du site unilingue anglais du NORAD : «The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a binational military organization formally established in 1958 by Canada and the United States to monitor and defend North American airspace. The commander in chief of NORAD is appointed by, and is responsible to, both the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of the United States. Three regions, two countries, one team. Responsible for protecting the airspace of two vast countries, North American Aerospace Defense Command's area of responsibility stretches from Clear, Alaska, to the Florida Keys, and from St. John's Newfoundland, to San Diego, Calif. Thousands of U.S. and Canadian military members have worked side-by-side in both countries for more than 40 years to protect North America against an aerospace attack. Aerospace warning and control are the cornerstones of the NORAD mission. To perform its twin missions of aerospace warning and aerospace control, NORAD consists of three regions: Alaskan NORAD Region (ANR), Canadian NORAD Region (CANR), and the Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR). CANR's headquarters is in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and the Canadian Air Defence Sector is located in North Bay, Ontario. We are continually working to ensure this website is accessible to all visitors.
