DreamlandHow Canada’s Pretend Foreign Policy Has Undermined Sovereignty |
How to avoid protectorate status and restore Canadian sovereignty.
Roy Rempel argues that the past decade has been marked by an ideological and domestically driven foreign policy agenda that has lost sight of the national interest. As a consequence, Canada's policy options are narrowing, national sovereignty is eroding, and the country risks evolving into a protectorate of the United States. Dreamland analyzes how Canada's foreign policy has subverted the myths that Canadians believe about themselves and their place in the world.
Rempel champions the development of a non-ideological foreign policy that puts the security and prosperity of Canadians first. He shows that a true partnership with the United States can lead to a pivotal bilateral relationship that would be to Canada's international advantage. Dreamland makes it clear that a renewal of Canada's foreign policy can occur only if the conditions for a serious strategic culture are established with national institutions capable of setting clear policy priorities and objectives based on the country's national interests.
