How Canada is taking the lead on Arctic security

from CanCon · host Jordan Heath-Rawlings, Laura Palmer

Canada's going to become one of three "framework nations" taking the lead on Arctic defence. The government is moving to purchase military equipment outside the United States or even (gasp!) build it here at home. Is all that talk about taking national defence seriously starting to show up in action? Alistair Edgar, Associate Dean at the School of International Policy and Governance at Wilfred Laurier University, joins us to analyze the Carney government's recent defence decisions. Feedback from listeners is so, so welcome. If you have something to say, email us: [email protected].
