The feds should bite the bullet and contract General Dynamics to build a light armoured vehicle fleet for the Canadian military instead.

Loosening the restrictions on what counts as military spending could both soothe Donald Trump and ruffled veteran feathers.

The Afghan government welcomed ex-warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum back to Kabul last month with open arms.

Canadian and U.S. involvement in conflicts in the last couple decades proves neither has a clean record, yet the West is quick to chastise Russia for its misdeeds.

Our soldiers can teach recruits drills and weapons handling, but there is no way we can make them willing to die for a corrupt regime.

Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley were reported to have been exposed to the same nerve agent as a Russian double agent and his daughter in March.

Justin Trudeau’s message at the NATO summit next week needs to reflect the reality of Ukraine’s growing trend of far-right violence.
