CIC Edmonton: Canada at the Crossroads: A National Security Vision for a Volatile World

Wars in Ukraine, across the Middle East, and in Sudan reveal how fragile global stability has become. Indeed, these crises, along with many others, leave no doubt that the international order is under severe pressure and that Canada’s ability to meet this moment will depend on the strength we build at home: resilient democratic institutions, purposeful diplomacy and development, defence capabilities ready for rapid change, a stable long‑term economy, and citizens committed to collective action. It also requires navigating a more challenging relationship with the United States, where shifting priorities, economic pressures, and strategic disagreements increasingly shape Canada’s security environment. As Canadians reconsider their nation’s place on an unstable global stage, this presentation will outline why Canada needs a new national vision and strategy — one suited to middle‑power leadership in a rapidly shifting international environment.
