John Robson argues that Canada needs to prioritize being a dependable security ally for its partners
Commentary
Canada must hold an election at some point. The crucial question on the ballot should be, “How can we become a reliable security partner for our Western allies?” It’s not a matter of whether, but how.
While other important issues like solvency and family restoration exist, security must take precedence due to Canada’s tendency to overlook vital matters.

The question remains: Are Canadians serious voters and citizens who prioritize security, or will they continue to neglect critical issues?
