In a dangerous and divided world, Canada and Europe are elevating our defence partnership.
That means more access to new equipment for our Armed Forces, more investment in Canada, and massive opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.

A Chinese cargo ship visited the occupied port of Sevastopol in Crimea, under sanctions since 2014 — faking its route and making an unprecedented series of stops by a major foreign vessel to one of the Ukrainian ports seized by Russia.

The standout madness in the general madness are the enormous tariffs on South East Asia which, if these stick, is going to magnify China's sphere of influence. Geopolitical lunacy.

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

One Russian paper today looks “inside Donald Trump.” Another asks a Putin aide if Trump is good for Russia. His reply: to win the election “Trump relied on certain forces, to which he has obligations…he's obliged to fulfil them...[but] election promises can differ from actions.”
