The attached paper is our attempt to do that by challenging the assumptions that underpin the current state of Canada-Russia relations. This letter was written jointly by Gilles Breton (former diplomat) and myself and presented to HE Canadian Ambassador in Moscow (copy of our letter was also sent to HE Ambassador of RF&nbsp; in Ottawa). We made it also public in Canada (at CGPM at Carleton University) and in Russia (thanks to Russia in Global Affairs journal). We will also discuss the main points of our document &nbsp;next Tuesday during a public seminar that will be &nbsp;organized by EURUS at Carleton University.&#8221; &#8211; Piotr Dutkiewicz<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event will address the letter with presentations by both authors, as well as a Q&amp;A period where the audience is welcome to participate and ask questions about the letter and its contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To read the letter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cgpm\/open-letter-an-action-brief-for-canadian-russian-bilateral-relations\/\">(English) The Open Letter on the Future of Canada-Russia Relations<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/globalaffairs.ru\/articles\/kanadsko-rossijskie-otnosheniya\/\">(Russian) <i>Russia in Global Affairs<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zoom Link: <\/strong><br>\nTopic: An Open Letter on the Future of Canada-Russia Relations<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><br>\nTime: Nov 10, 2020 12:00 PM America\/Toronto<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join Zoom Meeting<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton-ca.zoom.us\/j\/92758246916\">https:\/\/carleton-ca.zoom.us\/j\/92758246916<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[56,9],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-11454","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_type-56","cu_event_type-eurus"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2020-11-10T12:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2020-11-10T13:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/11454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/11454\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11462,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/11454\/revisions\/11462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=11454"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/eurus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=11454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
