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 heightened tensions of the Cold War, including in the Canadian Forces, the reserves, police organizations, the Emergency Measures Organization, and civilian assistance organizations.
It's the fourth time she's introduced such a bill, inspired by one of her constituents, retired Captain Ulrich Krings.
