Time for Canada to consider its own nuclear deterrent

  • Without the reliable umbrella of U.S. nuclear deterrence, anything else Canada spends on updating and expanding the Canadian Armed Forces will sadly be moot
Opinion | BY JAMIE CARROLL | March 10, 2025
In 1958, John Diefenbaker's government deployed Bomarc missiles in the Canadian North. They were supposed to be nuclear-armed, but Diefenbaker refused splitting his cabinet and souring relations with the United States. Dief lost in 1963 and the Cuban Missile Crisis revived the nuclear debate, writes Jamie Carroll.   Photograph courtesy of Wikimedia Commons
