Among his more high-profile roles, [Rick Hillier] was commander of multinational forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and led NATO's International Security Assistance Force operations in Afghanistan. Yet the mission closest to his heart was his effort to "recruit Canada. Although Hillier feels these missions caused the media to stop depicting them as "ogres, blood-thirsty demons and ill-disciplined thugs," he remained wary of "yellow journalism" in Canadian reporting of military issues. This retrospective is mostly diplomatic: he refrains from naming those he ran up against in frequent lively "debates" and emphasizes the collegial relationship he had with former defence minister Gordon O'Connor (O'Connor wanted to gag Hillier: "We want to see less of you" he told him after one media blitz).

Canada's troops in Afghanistan, the country's largest military commitment since the Korean War, are provided with air support by the United States, including ground attack aircraft and helicopters, and medical evacuation of Canadian casualties. The Canadian Air Force is in Kandahar in a nominal role, flying radio-guided vehicles (UAVs) with the army, and supplying troops using two Hercules based in the Persian Gulf. Now, after a long history of neglect by successive governments that diminished Canada's military power, the armed forces are being radically transformed but the role for the air force is not so clear. Led by the chief of the defence staff, General Rick Hillier, the armed forces is becoming a highly mobile and rapidly deployable expeditionary corps. In the near future --if al...

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

The frigates can either be integrated into a multinational force that has its own command structure and logistics system or they can work within a self-sufficient Canadian naval task group. If Canada is to take the lead in a future quarantine operation, such a task group would be required. And it is here that some problems exist. First, the three remaining destroyers which act as command ships are overdue for replacement and it is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain their combat effectiveness. Commanding a multinational operation would be very difficult without those capabilities. A parallel concern exists over the ability to keep the aging fleet support ships going for the duration of the mission. Those vessels are capability multipliers and allow a group of friga...
