We turn again to Wesley Wark – this time for his take on the just announced public inquiry into foreign interference; we assess recent Ukraine developments that make a diplomatic strategy more urgent than ever and we consider a new Crisis Group report on sanctions reform and peacemaking.
Even as NATO misleads again on Ukraine’s membership, informal diplomatic efforts begin to prepare the way for ceasefire and follow on negotiations toward peace in Ukraine. We also look at changes needed to Canada’s domestic legislation banning cluster munitions and consider a powerful argument for arms control, not missile defences, to curb nuclear and conventional missile threats.
