Abstract

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has pledged to increase Canada's military presence in the Arctic to counter threats from Russia and China and assert the nation's sovereignty in the region. He plans to build a permanent military base in Iqaluit, Nunavut, and double the size of mobile forces to patrol the Arctic. Poilievre's "Canada First" plan includes cutting foreign aid to fund these initiatives, emphasizing the need for Canada to secure its borders and stand independently. [Extracted from the article]
