We the undersigned call on PM Mark Carney: Canada must say no to Trump’s Golden Dome folly

Why is this important?

The Golden Dome purports to defend North America against incoming missiles by placing interceptors in space, but the technical challenges are enormous, the costs astronomical, and the strategic risks profound. This project has the potential to spark an arms race and potentially make a pre-emptive attack more likely.

According to former Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy, "The proper response to another Trump-era folly is not quiet consideration or cautious diplomacy. It’s a firm, unequivocal no – just as it was in 1985."

Canadian values should incline us to put additional federal dollars into global conflict resolution and emergency foreign aid rather than expend mega-billions on a potentially costly boondoggle with an unreliable partner that will make the world even more unstable and insecure.

We know that true security comes from investing in housing, healthcare, education, and climate justice—not billion-dollar weapons in space. The Golden Dome is a betrayal of those priorities. Join me in demanding better — sign the petition to Prime Minister Mark Carney and say no to this reckless scheme.
