David Morrison, diplomatic and international affairs adviser to Prime Minister Mark Carney, recently told a House of Commons committee the strategy looks to bolster Canada’s defences against an array of security threats.
Privy Council Office spokesperson Mélany Gauvin said recently the strategy would increase Canada’s focus on economic security.
In 2004, the Liberal government led by Paul Martin released Securing an Open Society, the most recent overarching national security policy.
The new policy is likely to address shifting global alliances, Arctic security and Canada’s intelligence needs in a volatile world.
Our biggest internal threat is misinformation from conservatives and their unwavering support for the Trump administration and the USA. Our biggest external threats are Russia, China, and the USA. There is also the threat from people obsessed with gays and trans people.
We have a foreign policy? Its not apparent. Seems we prefer working with Authoritarian regimes. Easier that way. Don’t need to navigate through complex systems that work on things like markets.
Can’t wait to hear how China, the third worlders, and gays are integral to our security.
