National aerospace strategy needs to focus on climate change mitigation
To reduce aviation’s climate change impact we must reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and the total energy consumed.
Securing blue skies: why we need to invest in aerospace research
By strengthening ties between universities and industry, we can build a sustainable and resilient vision for this vital ecosystem.
What must be done to boost global confidence in our aerospace supply chain?
Our aerospace sector represents this country’s biggest contribution to strong global commercial and defence programs, and this contribution deserves—and needs—public support.
Transition to net-zero aviation needs less expensive sustainable fuels, investment certainty: sector experts
To compete with the U.S., Canada needs to take actions intended to incentivize the domestic production and use of sustainable aviation fuels, according to a roadmap released by the Canadian Council for Sustainable Aviation Fuels in June, 2023.
The aerospace industry is in the midst of its fourth revolution
Canada can lead the global shift in sustainable aviation. Our country boasts one of the world’s robust aerospace industries supported by a unique ecosystem of research institutions, manufacturers, and innovators.
Why an Aerospace Industrial Strategy is crucial for Canada
If Canada wants to remain competitive in this strategic field, we need smart, supportive public policy.
Flying into the future: the case for sustainable aeronautics
Canada should catalyze its academics by integrating a sustainable aviation research initiative within the aerospace strategy.
Defence
National Defence is in a deep hole, and we need to stop digging—fast
It seems that things have actually gotten worse in defence procurement with the tightening of rules, additional heavy oversight, and lack of trust with industry partners.
Canada’s defence spending: the free ride is over
Building defence industrial capacity at home, and supporting Canadian firms to export that expertise to the world must become a strategic priority rather than an afterthought.
