The Mid-Canada Line (MCL), also known as the McGill Fence, was a line of radar stations running east–west across the middle of Canada, used to provide early warning of a Soviet bomber attack on North America. It was built to supplement the Pinetree Line, which was located farther south. The majority of Mid-Canada Line stations were used only briefly from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, as the attack threat changed from bombers to ICBMs. As the MCL was closed down, the early warning role passed almost entirely to the newer and more capable DEW Line farther north.

rdfs:comment	Die Mid-Canada Line war eine Kette von Radarstationen in Kanada, die vor einem Angriff sowjetischer Bomber warnen sollte. (de) La Mid-Canada Line, anche nota come McGill Fence, era un complesso di stazioni radar situato nei territori centrali del Canada. Concepita per rilevare un attacco sovietico fu costruita per implementare la già esistente Pinetree Line, che era situata meridionalmente rispetto alla Mid Canada Line. La maggior parte delle stazioni radar della Mid Canada Line fu però utilizzata solo per un breve periodo. Divenuta rapidamente obsoleta con il progresso della tecnologia, la Mid Canada Line fu completamente operativa solamente dalla fine degli anni cinquanta fino a metà degli anni sessanta, quando fu sostituita dalla più moderna DEW Line.

(en) La ligne Mid-Canada (MCL), également connue sous le nom de McGill Fence, était une ligne d'alerte précoce de radars distribués à travers le moyen-nord canadien et utilisée pour détecter une attaque de bombardiers soviétiques sur l'Amérique du Nord durant la guerre froide. Elle a été construite pour compléter la ligne Pinetree moins avancée et plus au sud. La majorité des stations de la ligne Mid-Canada n'ont été utilisées que de la fin des années 1950 au milieu des années 1960, alors que la menace d'attaque passait des bombardiers aux missiles intercontinentaux. Lorsque le MCL fut fermé, le rôle d'alerte précoce est passé presque entièrement à la ligne DEW plus sophistiquée et plus au nord dans l’Arctique canadien et américain. (fr) Mid-Canada Line była serią stacji radarowych rozmieszczonych wzdłuż linii między wschodnim i zachodnim wybrzeżem Kanady na wysokości około 55 równoleżnika północnego. Linia została zbudowana w celu uzupełnienia Pinetree Line - systemu stacji radarowych znajdujących się niżej na południe, tak aby możliwe było wykrycie samolotów nadlatujących znad terytorium ZSRR.
