Political Science Publications. 12. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/politicalsciencepub/12 “Canada’s NATO Commitment: Current Controversies, Past Debates, and Future Issues” Erika Simpson Introduction Canada has been a committed member of NATO since its founding in 1949. It has been one of Canada’s most controversial commitments—as evidenced by the recent debate about NATO enlargement and the controversy over NATO’s bombing of Kosovo and Serbia. In fact, we can probably expect yet another debate about Canada’s commitment to NATO later this year as Foreign Minister Lloyd Axworthy has promised to question the Alliance’s continued reliance on nuclear deterrence. There is also bound to be future dissension over whether the allies should undertake a ‘second round of expansion’, taking in countries like Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. While issues related to NATO expansion and the war in Kosovo have dominated the news lately, it is also useful to stand back and look at Canada’s overall relationship to NATO. This essay surveys some current controversies, past debates, and possible future issues related to Canada’s NATO involvement since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War.

    Remembrance Series The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Photographs courtesy of Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and the Department of National Defence (DND). © Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada represented by the Minister of Veterans Affairs, 2005. Cat. No. V32-84/2005 ISBN 0-662-69036-2 Printed in Canada The Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Generations of Canadians have served our country and the world during times of war, military conflict and peace. Through their courage and sacrifice, these men and women have helped to ensure that we live in freedom and peace, while also fostering freedom and peace around the world. The Canada Remembers Program promotes a greater understanding of these Canadians’ efforts and honours the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served and those who supported our country on the home front. The program engages Canadians through the following elements: national and international ceremonies and events including Veterans’ Week activities, youth learning opportunities, educational and public information materials (including on-line learning), the maintenance of international and national Government of Canada memorials and cemeteries (including 13 First World War battlefield memorials in France and Belgium), and the provision of funeral and burial services. Canada’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and Canada’s efforts during military operations and peace efforts has always been fuelled by a commitment to protect the rights of others and to foster peace and freedom. Many Canadians have died for these beliefs, and many others have dedicated their lives to these pursuits.
