Is Canada's Military Prepared for a New Era? | The Agenda

Canada routinely faces criticism that it does not meet spending commitments as a NATO ally. And recently, the Department of National Defence's own internal reporting painted an alarming picture of the state of the Canadian Armed Forces. Polling shows that Canadians increasingly worry about what this all means for the country's presence on the world stage. For more on how to navigate these difficult waters, we welcome: Kerry Buck, former Canadian Ambassador to NATO, now a senior fellow at the University of Ottawa; Guy Thibault, a retired Lieutenant General in the Canadian Army, who's currently Chair of the Board at CDA Institute; and Christian Leuprecht, professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and Queen's University.
