Part of the Parti Quebecois (the separatists that came to power in 1976) agenda was to remove Quebec from NORAD, and on the eve of the 1976 election - the US massed some troops near the border with Quebec to send a chilling warning that they would not allow NORAD to be weakened as this would leave a huge vulnerability to early warning of any Soviet missles coming over the North Pole and down onth the NorthEast US. They sent a noit too subtle message.
