MLI Senior Fellow Richard Shimooka spoke with CTV News regarding the announcement that additional Canadian soldiers are being deployed to Latvia. They will further contribute to Canada’s leadership role in NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence mission in the country. “The Canadian regiment is meant to deter Russia from moving into Latvia,” says Shimooka. “It’s to show Russia we have a presence – there will be consequences if they move into this territory.”
