Military Planning to Open International Bases

Call it imperialism ultra-lite: Bases in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Europe would be mostly used for emergencies.

The Canadian Forces are planning to open seven military bases around the world to assist them with missions that are increasingly global in nature. So far, deals have been struck to open bases in Jamaica and Germany, and negotiations are ongoing with Kuwait, while the Forces have their sights set on Senegal, Kenya, Singapore, and South Korea as well. The Kuwait base would be used to help supply troops in Afghanistan during the upcoming three-year training mission. Most of the bases would not have a permanent Canadian presence, but would be used in case natural disasters or armed conflicts arise nearby.
