Canadian Foreign Defense Policy: Keeping up with Changing Global Landscapes

Abstract

On April 18, 2024, Dr. Jean-Christophe Boucher presented Canadian Foreign Defense Policy: Keeping up with Changing Global Landscapes at the CASIS April Digital Roundtable. The presentation was followed by a question-and- answer period with questions from the audience and CASIS Vancouver executives. The key points discussed were the need for greater defense spending in Canada and Dr. Boucher’s study on the factors contributing to public support for greater defense spending. The study found that the presence of external threats determines support for funding, however socio-demographic factors may also correlate to individuals’ views on defense spending.
