Fortress North America: The Drive towards Military and Security Integration and Its Impact on Canadian Democratic Sovereignty
Written by: Steven Staples
Date: 30 April 2007
Key Findings:
- Bilateral defence projects in North America have been dominated by a corporate agenda.
- Deepening ties between Ottawa and Washington in the post-9/11 context presents challenges for Canadian sovereignty and public policy autonomy.
- Canadians must confront the military-corporate lobby to ensure a revitalized democracy shaped by Canada’s citizenry rather than a determined elite.
