The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has moved the hands of the Doomsday clock to 85 seconds to midnight. It’s the closest the clock, a representation of the nuclear and climate risks to humanity, has ever been to global catastrophe. To move the clock back, WILPF-Canada calls on the Canadian government to:
* cancel plans to buy the nuclear-capable F-35 fighter jets
* refuse participation in Trump’s “Golden Dome”
* not waste $71 billion tax dollars on American missile defence
* withdraw from NATO and NORAD
* stop sending weapons to Ukraine and support a negotiated settlement with Russia
* stop sending weapons to nuclear-armed Israel and end the genocide in Gaza
* join the United Nations’ Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
* put peace, disarmament and international cooperation at the centre of Canada’s foreign policy
* cut military spending and invest in climate action and sustainable development
