April 4th will mark the 60th Anniversary of the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The anniversary sees a “new” NATO, doubled in size since its founding, with an expanded international role.
Not all the opposition will be centred in Strasbourg, as witnessed by the recent speech given by Russian President Medvedev, in which he linked new Russian military spending with an expanded NATO.
Given these developments Peace Alliance Winnipeg believes it is essential for Canadians to examine the issue of NATO. The question to be resolved is a simple one: “Should Canada remain in NATO?”
The Debaters:
* Dr. James Fergusson, Director of the Centre for Defence and Security Studies, University of Manitoba
* Professor Henry Heller, Department of History, University of Manitoba
When: Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 1 p.m.
Where: St. Matthew’s Anglican Church, 641 St. Matthew’s Avenue (corner of St. Matthew and Maryland).
Admission: Free. All are welcome
