Amid threats of Russian aggression and climate change, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and NATO's secretary general are kicking off a flurry of defence and security meetings. New from R_SPatel: cdnpoli
OTTAWA— The presence of top Canadian and NATO officials in Nunavut on Thursday is a sign Canada is renewing its focus on Arctic security and its place in the 30-member military alliance, experts say.
But behind the jam-packed display is likely a reprimand from NATO, Arctic security expert Rob Huebert says, for Canada’s failure to move on some of its foreign defence promises. In June, Anand announced what she called an “unprecedented” investment of $4.9 billion over six years to update Canada’s continental defences, as part of an overall package of $40 billion in investments over the next 20 years.
Nevertheless, Stoltenberg’s visit still communicates “solidarity” among NATO allies, particularly against Russia, says the University of Manitoba’s Andrea Charron.
