Canadian Navy Debate Reaffirms Imperial Defence Policy
Sir Wilfrid Laurier defends a Canadian navy policy as essential to imperial unity. He argues war powers lie with Parliament, warns against delaying defence while discussing a broader voice in peace or war, and cites historical conflicts to illustrate Canada’s autonomy under the British crown. The speech contrasts permanent alliance plans with local autonomy and questions imperial risks.

Tupper’s naval views shift on Canada’s role in empire
The piece contrasts Sir Charles Tupper’s past support for Premier Borden’s naval policy with new cautious stance. It cites a November 20 1909 letter to Borden and notes Tupper’s earlier critiques of colonial contributions, arguing for Canadian aid to Britain while opposing taxation without representation.
