While Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country continue to glorify Canadian involvement in Imperial wars and militarism over the past century, Canadian foreign policy, driven by its corporate sponsors, is pushing us towards dangerous new conflicts across the globe.
As Canada commits to a 70% increase in NATO military spending, battle lines are being drawn up across Eastern Europe and Asia, with the United States at the helm of an aggressive campaign against Russia and China in a desperate attempt to re-divide the world in the name of Profit.
We have entered a new age of "Great Power Competition".
Will it be Socialism or Extinction?
