It’s still a war budget.

-Sid Lacombe Canadian Peace Alliance March 5, 2010

While there is a small decrease in the amount previously allocated to the military under the Canada First Defence Strategy, overall defence spending continues to go up.

Federal Budget: The Decade of Culture of peace is more like the decade of the  cult of war
 
PEJnews  Joan Russow
In the year 2000, the Decade of the Culture of Peace was proclaimed. Rather than reducing the military budget, Canada has consistently increased the Military budget over the Decade. And rather than banning uranium mining, and instituting a fair and just transition for workers and communities, the Conservative government, in the Speech from the Throne, advocated increased uranium mining.

Request to Min. MacKay for Investigation into Violation of Geneva Conventions

PEJ News - John McNamer -
Thank you for your reply below. Unfortunately, until the questions of torture surrounding the transfer of detainees by Canadian Forces to U.S. authorities during the period 2002-05 are answered, I have no confidence that Canadian Forces have abided by or do abide by the Geneva Conventions. It is one thing to say that one "applies the spirit and principles" of international humanitarian law and quite another thing to actually obey the law.
