      Canadian embassy ceased operations in 2012 as Syrian civil war worsened

      So probably no.

        I realise that this joke was a bit rough but now that we’ re talking, isn’t Canada a part of North America? And embassies are extensions of the countries they represent?

          Article 5 inly applies to actuons that happen in member country’s home soil or military bases in North America or Europe. So if Singapore decided to blast the USS Gerald R Ford while it transisted the Straits of Malaca, Article 5 could not be invoked. It gets a bit fuzzy with the Middle East though
