As extreme heat waves scorch Canada, with temperatures soaring past 35°C and a "heat dome" placing millions under alert, the connection between militarism and climate breakdown has never been more urgent.
Abby Martin's documentary Earth's Greatest Enemy exposes a shocking truth the mainstream media won't touch: the U.S. military is the single largest institutional polluter on the planet, exempt from international climate agreements. From contaminated bases to scorched battlefields, the film traces the direct line between war, empire, and ecological destruction.
Why watch this now?
Because while we're sweltering through record heat, Prime Minister Mark Carney is transforming Canada into a war economy. His government's new Defence Industrial Strategy will pour $180 billion into military procurement, create 125,000 defence jobs, and boost arms exports by 50%, all while claiming to "build Canada strong".
This isn't about left vs. right. It's about connecting the dots between the heat outside our windows and the militarism fueling the climate crisis. As Martin puts it, the film covers "two existential crises in a one-stop shop"—giving antiwar and climate activists a chance to find common ground.
