Abstract
- The article focuses on the history of military activity on Canadian soil, with an emphasis on the North, specifically examining a set of crucial projects and operations that redefined not only physical terrain but associated imaginative understandings of nature. The history of Cold War Canada is littered with suitable examples, from early military exercises and the construction of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) radar line to more recent missile tests and low-level training flights. According to the author, the case of the Cold War Canadian North is similar insofar as militarization was frequently disguised behind loftier goals.
