A local New Democrat's once again looking to create a medal to honour those who defended Canada from potential attack during the Cold War.
Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing MP Carol Hughes has tabled a bill to establish a "Defence of Canada Medal" for those who served amid the Cold War, noting a fresh perspective amid the pandemic.
Hughes adds this has wide support.
This is the third time she's introduced such a bill, though neither previous attempt made it to debate.
