Canada & Nato: Myth of a Global Peacekeeper

by Owen Schalk

By mapping decades of Canada’s role in global militarization, a position that has led to death, destruction, and destabilization around the world, Canada and NATO: Myth of a Global Peacekeeper carefully pulls apart longstanding myths and misconceptions regarding Canada’s role in world conflicts, and disrupts the popular perception of NATO in the West: that the alliance is a defensive security organization rather than an offensive organization led by the capitalist interests of the U.S. and its allies.

With careful historical research and lucid political analysis, Schalk delivers compelling reasons for Canada’s exit from NATO at a time when rapidly intensifying global change requiring sustainable, socially-drive, and peaceful solutions, has instead been met by Western powers with astronomical and ever-escalating plans for militarization that can only lead down a path to catastrophic global war.

such a concise look at Canada's subservient relationship to the US through NATO. Pierre Trudeau said that Canada has no foreign policy that doesn't flow from NATO. They regime changed us in the 50s! Great read, cool to read about things that happened in 2025 I remember reading about and following at the time, now with context.
