I'll answer this very simply. It's a wonderful rhetorical policy, but space is weaponized. Don't think it isn't. Satellites in orbit with fuel can be used to collide with other satellites. A missile defence system can strike at satellites in space. A variety of issues are coming down the road that require significant thinking on the part of Canada in the future.
I'm not trying to be a scaremonger about these things, but there are things Canada doesn't pay attention to that we need to pay attention to. We can keep the rhetoric of opposing the weaponization of space—the Americans and everyone oppose it—but strategic realities are changing.
