Welcome to Debating Canadian Defence!

This newsletter will discuss Canadian defence issues of the day. I'll mostly address matters that are in the media, along with procurement announcements and developments.

What will readers get out of this newsletter? I've been studying Canadian defence for over two decades, and I spent about 10 years acting as an independent overseer of military acquisitions. My perspective is that of an academic who's had a peak into how things work at the Department of National Defence. So, I hope to offer a mix of theoretical and practical perspectives on various aspects of the defence portfolio in Canada.
