The recent announcement of an Arctic Defense Strategy Update indicates a very dangerous line of thinking that risks inflaming an already terrible breakdown in global diplomatic relations and doubles down on Canada’s role within a military confrontation with Russia and China.
The priorities on integrating Canada’s already non-existent sovereignty into supranational systems like NORAD and the AUKUS group (which is also courting Japan to join as we speak), feature a suicidal and absurd line of Hobbesian logic that could result in a lot of devastation to both Canada and the world at large. Beyond structural changes in Canada’s arctic military policy, billions will be spent on new special censors to upgrade the Cold War DEW radar system “to detect, deter and respond to threats quickly and expand the country’s presence and reach across large and remote areas”.
