Canada Tightens Defenses With Airborne Brigade Plan
Ottawa reports Canada will build a standing defense force including an airborne brigade of 7000 and an interceptor wing while avoiding a draft. The three point program aims to deter diversionary attacks, seed an expandable expeditionary force, and cooperate with allies for peace. The Brussels Pact talks include the United States and Canada, with Lester Pearson signaling readiness to negotiate. A recruiting push continues amid high entry requirements and civilian job competition. Next to falconry, fox hunting is noted as the oldest field sport.
