An analysis to be released on Thursday, October 14, by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) and the Rideau Institute demonstrates that Canada does not need the F-35 either for North American/domestic roles or for expeditionary roles.
Canadians pride themselves on our global role, but Canada’s dismal performance on climate change, foreign aid, peacekeeping, asbestos, reproductive rights, and the Middle East has taken a heavy toll, including its failure to win a UN Security Council seat.
The 3rd annual Rideau Institute Gala Dinner will feature a keynote address by author and Toronto Star columnist Linda McQuaig and the presentation of the inaugural Rideau Institute Leadership Award to the founders of Canadians for a Nuclear Weapons Convention.
