Walter Dorn, Robin Collins: “Let’s expand, not reduce, Canadian peacekeeping” The Hill Times, Sept 7
For many reasons, DND’s plan to remove Canadian peacekeepers is short-sighted and counterproductive. In the current political climate, now is the time to expand UN peacekeeping globally and Canada should champion that resurgence. (linked as pdf)
Walter Dorn: “The End of Canadian Peacekeeping” Macleans, September 2, 2026
Canada pioneered modern peacekeeping. What will the world look like without it?
Douglas Roche: “Where Does Peace fit in Mark Carney’s Global Vision?” Policy, August 13, 2026
The entire United Nations structure, built on the ashes of World War II and at the dawn of the nuclear age, is grounded in the idea that human security comes not from more arms but from economic development, social progress and the steady infusion of diplomacy into crisis areas to preserve the peace indispensable to both.
Michael Manulak, Lloyd Axworthy: “Even as Canada spends more than ever on our military, this one proud tradition is dying. That’s a mistake” Toronto Star, August 8, 2026

Cesar Jaramillo: “Dumb War Theory: Anatomy of the U.S. Strategic Failure in Iran” Sane Policy Inst. August 6, 2026
The Iran war quagmire did not begin with the illegal U.S. and Israeli airstrikes of February 2026, or even with the bombing by these same countries of IAEA-safeguarded nuclear facilities the previous June. It began much earlier, with a flawed narrative.
Ernie Regehr: “Peace Diplomacy: Considering the Norway Model” The Simons Foundation Canada, August 5, 2026
Canada’s move to bolster its developing defence partnership with Norway, most recently through the contemplated submarine deal, should make this a good time to broaden its overall security relationship with Norway, including through learning from the latter’s influential and widely respected program of peace diplomacy.
