Panel Presentation: Canada’s New Posture in the International Arena
November 9, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
WHEN: Thursday, 09 November 2017 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
WHERE: Bruyère Hospital Auditorium – 43 Bruyere St., Ottawa, ON
The Trudeau Government’s claim that “Canada is back” in the international arena is highly contestable. The government continues to support defence and trade policies initiated by the Harper government as well as energy policies inconsistent with the Paris Accord. There is more similarity with the Harper Government’s foreign policy than with the peacebuilding and development initiatives associated with Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau.
Our foreign policy panel will engage in a wide-ranging debate, to identify strengths and weaknesses, and areas of coherence or inconsistency, and to make recommendations on whether and how Canada’s foreign policy can actually be returned to its traditional posture of a more progressive player in global peacekeeping and sustainable development.
