Nato in the age of Trump
During his four years in office, President Trump repeatedly called on NATO allies to increase their defense spending, and threatened to leave the alliance if the situation did not improve. This article examines how three long standing members – Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany – responded to the challenge of the Trump presidency. It will reveal that all three did increase spending, modestly in the cases of Canada and the United Kingdom, mo…
Childhood Obesity and Accelerated Timing of Dental Development
The goal of this critical review is to synthesize the burgeoning body of literature on childhood obesity/body mass index (BMI) and dental development. The overwhelming majority of currently published work on BMI/obesity and dental development has found a correlation whereby children with higher BMIs have accelerated dental development. As these differences are frequently measured to be 0.5 years or greater in relative timing of dental development…
Sharing the burden? U.S. allies, defense spending, and the future of Nato
Burden sharing has long been a goal of NATO. This article examines how three major alliance members—Canada, the UK, and Germany—are currently approaching defense issues, and the contributions they are making to the larger Western defense effort. It will reveal that Canada and Germany continue to spend little on defense, and seem broadly content to watch their military forces gradually weaken. On the contrary, however, the UK remains a major defen…
A Defense Renaissance? The Canadian Conservative Government and the Military
Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper campaigned in 2006 that, if elected, his government would make major improvements to Canada’s military. Emphasizing the decline that had befallen the once proud institution under the Liberals, Harper spoke of the spending increases and new capabilities that would result if his party emerged victorious in the upcoming vote. Seven years later, and two years after the prime minister was finally rewarded with …
From Trusted Ally to Suspicious Neighbor
The Canada-U.S. relationship stands at a crossroads. While in many ways the two countries remain on good terms--for example, they continue to enjoy the world's largest bilateral trade relationship (1)--there have been several disputes in the last few years that suggest a fundamental change in the tenor of the alliance. Perhaps the most important such disagreement was the Canadian debate over the 2003 Iraq war, and the ultimate decision to not sup…
A Question of Defense
The US decision to withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty in June 2002 was a watershed development in international politics. Deciding that the threat from rogue states outweighed concerns about how Russia (and the larger international community) would respond, the Bush administration revealed that in the post-September 11 environment, it was not prepared to give other states an effective veto over US security policy. However, the …

Avoiding Armageddon
The advent of nuclear weapons in the 1940s brought enormous change to doctrines regarding the use of force in resolving disputes. American strategists have been widely credited with most of these; Canadians, most have assumed, did not conduct their own strategic analysis. Avoiding Armageddon soundly debunks this notion. Drawing on previously classified government records, Richter reveals that Canadian defence officials did come to independent str…
Over Here and over There
Strategic Theoretical Parasitism’ Reconsidered
The introduction and subsequent deployment of nuclear weapons is the most significant military development of the post-World War II era. The assumption in Canada has consistently been that Canadians are passive consumers of the nuclear doctrines and strategies of their allies. This assumption, in turn, is linked to the larger failure of Canadians to identify national strategic interests during the cold war (which Colin Gray labelled 'strategic th…
