You'll forgive me if I don't share your confidence in NATO's anti-submarine capability. Anyway, you didn't answer my question. How would a supersonic interceptor protect Canada from an attack by nuclear missiles? Never mind, we both know the answer.
You can argue the program should have continued for the purpose of exporting the aircraft, and that argument has some validity. But you cannot argue the Arrow was needed for the defence of Canada in the nuclear age.
