In today’s Expert Series episode, we meet with Robert Baines, President and CEO of the NATO Association of Canada, to discuss the impact of the U.S.’s shifting stance towards NATO and how this affects US-Canada tensions and NATO dynamics with European allies.
Our conversation covers the importance of Canada reaching the 2% GDP defence spending benchmark and the need for enhanced strategic focus and prioritized investments in the Arctic. In the face of changing geopolitical dynamics, Canada must firmly assert its sovereignty, strengthen its Arctic capabilities and its relationship with European allies, and prioritize strong leadership in maintaining international norms.
Special thanks is given to the NATO Association of Canada, a CDA Member Association, for their role in promoting peace, prosperity, and security through knowledge and understanding of the importance of NATO.
