Positive message on DPU from senior NATO staff (ASG Defence Planning)
Good to see 🇨🇦 increasing defence spending, a substantial step towards meeting @nato commitment of 2% GDP and setting out a strategic rationale for investment. Stronger presence in the High North, new high end capabilities and weapons stocks - all important to the Alliance.

Canada strongly condemns the electoral and political interference via cyber means by Russia targeting the United Kingdom. Canada joins its partners and allies in calling out this activity by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB). Statement ↓ canada.ca/en/global-affairs/…

Today, we announced that Canada is acquiring up to 16 Poseidon aircraft, with the first deliveries set to begin in 2026. The Poseidon is the right aircraft for Canada at the right price for Canadians. This platform is proven – and it is operated by all our Five Eyes allies.
