⚠️ CONTEXT: Extraordinary Events Impacting Canadian Sovereignty

In accordance with Article X(1) of the NPT, Canada reserves the right to withdraw if:

“Extraordinary events… have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country.”

Justifying Events:

• 🇺🇸 Breakdown in strategic cooperation with the United States, including revocation of Arctic mutual defence commitments and NORAD data-sharing protocols.
• 🇨🇦 Violation of Canadian trade sovereignty, including sudden U.S. embargoes on critical Canadian exports (uranium, energy, water rights).
• 🛰️ Interference in Canadian technological infrastructure, cybersecurity sovereignty, and AI innovation through U.S. unilateral regulations.
• 🌐 Global volatility, including increased nuclear proliferation and erosion of trust in traditional Western security alliances (e.g., NATO).

⸻

🛡️ OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROPOSAL

1. Secure and assert Canadian strategic autonomy without reliance on unpredictable foreign actors.
2. Develop a minimum credible deterrent against future coercion or aggression.
3. Ensure that Canadian citizens, institutions, and borders remain protected under a sovereign defence policy.
