Introduction

The security issues featuring in Canada are not new , such issues were undertaken so as to make Canada a peaceful and ly state which provides quality leadership to all Canadian citizens . Canada has faced a lot of threats in the past and hence finds it necessary to have sound National Security Policies . In early 1919 , Canada was faced with the influenza epidemic , and subsequently the threat of the Soviet bombers (Smith , 2003 . This led
