During a New Year's Day broadcast last January, Canada's bachelor Prime Minister lamented that 1968 had passed without allowing him "to make the kind of deal I would have liked. This year." he added, "I'll be taking initiatives." Pierre Elliott Trudeau was still working at that resolution last week; he flew to New York for two weekend dates with Singer Barbra Streisand. There was dinner and dancing on Friday night, the Polish Lab Theater on Sunday, and a barrage of questions from gossip columnists. How serious was it? When newsmen asked that question...

For the socialist New Democrats, who favor an immediate pullout, Deputy Leader David Lewis denounced the decision as "meaningless, imprecise, nothing short of scandalous." Conservative Leader Robert Stanfield complained that Canada was failing to live up to the defense obligations that it helped shape as a founding member of NATO. The NATO allies are also certain to be disappointed. Canada's six squadrons of CF-104 Starfighters and the 5,000-man armored brigade in West Germany have been a valuable part of the NATO shield...
