Canada urged to build a military space strategy for the Arctic

Original: Defending the high ground - Why Canada urgently needs a military space strategy to protect the Arctic: Joe Varner for Inside Policy

Joe Varner, writing for the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Inside Policy, argues Canada urgently needs a military space strategy to defend its Arctic. He contends that growing strategic competition and reliance on satellites make Canada's northern approaches and space-based assets vulnerable, and that Ottawa lacks a coherent plan. The piece is prompting debate about Canada's continental defence commitments.

Why now: Rising Arctic tensions and debates over Canadian and NORAD defence spending are putting renewed focus on space-based military capabilities.
