In Canada, the peace movement's strength has been reduced by its limited agenda caused, for the most part, by a refusal to recognize the important value conflicts within it. Fundamental divisions occur once the agenda goes beyond the development of new weapons systems. A significant example is the refusal of any peace coalition in English–speaking Canada to direct attention to the bloc system, and the persecution of the independent peace movement in eastern Europe.
