Hanwha has a vested interest in Camada that has been well established. One of the fun things about all the sovereignty stuff, and the 2% plans, is that companies now have a vested interest in our needs, as they know money and backing is on the table.

There is a profound difference between those nations who understand that their sovereignty is in peril and will do whatever it takes to defend them, and those who think their sovereignty can be defended by a few clever speeches until it all just blows over. Actions, not words.
As someone who has worked in the field of human rights for many years, I have a piece of advice for those criticizing our decision to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention: wake up.
This is the real world—we are defending our citizens, and we will use every single measure at our disposal. And if a measure isn’t available, we will make it available.
Russian soldiers will never cross my country’s border again.
LET that sink in ... just a bit.

Crying in coincides with when I graduated H.S. (class of 1997) undertook and completed a BA (2000-IR), MA (poli sci), PhD (2006-poli sci) & accepted a tenure-track job offer (2006).

What does Canada's tariff strategy look like?
Canada has a track record of imposing tariffs when necessary, but its primary weakness lies in its lack of trade diversification.
Canada could impose tariffs on the US, but not without a cost.

Yet, over two years ago, I began arguing 2% GDP on defence 1. would be a campaign issue, 2. it would be endorsed by major political parties, 3. foreign affairs would dominate the next Canadian electoral cycle.
All three points faced criticism from 'experts'.

The Finnish Government has today taken two key decisions, reflecting the changes in our security environment.
First, Finland will raise its defence expenditure to 3% of GDP by 2029. This is a part of Finland’s contribution to Europe taking greater responsibility for our own defence.
Second, Finland will prepare for the withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention. The decision is based on a thorough assessment by the relevant ministries and the Defence Forces. Finland is committed to its international obligations on the responsible use of mines.
Finland will always remain a responsible actor in the world, safeguarding its security and defence.
