Charting a National Strategy for an Unstable World
Canada has relied for too long on comforting assumptions.
That the United States would always protect it.
That prosperity would continue without effort.
That serious geopolitical danger remained somewhere else.
Those assumptions no longer hold.
In Fulfilling the Promise of Canada, a distinguished group of military, intelligence, academic, and policy thinkers examines the hard realities of an increasingly unstable world and asks what Canada must do to meet them. Covering defence policy, air power, naval strategy, reserves, special operations, foreign intelligence, Arctic security, digital vulnerability, higher education, China, Taiwan, and the future of Canada-US relations, this volume offers a wide-ranging assessment of the country’s strategic position and the choices now before it.
Urgent and forward-looking, Fulfilling the Promise of Canada argues that Canada cannot lead abroad unless it rebuilds strength, seriousness, and confidence at home. This is a book about sovereignty, competence, and national renewal, and about whether Canada is prepared to match its values with the means to defend and sustain them.
