From the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, to the chaotic US withdrawal in August 2021, Western involvement in Afghanistan will be debated for decades to come. The Canada Strong and Free Network presents a panel of experts to discuss the mission, its justification, its changing dynamic and the aftermath. What lessons do we take from these 20 years, particularly with regard to the pivotal role of Pakistan in bringing the Taliban and other terrorist proxies back to power, and what policies should conservatives here in Canada and abroad carry-forward on future involvements of the sort Afghanistan represents?
Speakers: Habib Khan Totakhail, Colonel J. Paul de B. Taillon and Hon. Chris Alexander, P.C.
Moderator: Bryan Passifiume
The Canada Strong and Free Network (formerly the Manning Centre) was founded in 2005 to support Canada’s conservative movement by networking best practices and ideas pertaining to limited government, free enterprise, individual responsibility and a more robust civil society.
