  • Russian Drones in Polish Airspace

    Russian Drones in Polish Airspace
    Sep 12 2025
    In Edmonton, federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson announces that the Canada Infrastructure Bank will provide a $100 million loan to Cando Rail & Terminals to support the expansion of the rail capacity at Sturgeon Terminal, a multi-purpose rail hub just outside the city. He is joined by Brian Cornick, president and CEO of Cando Rail and Terminals, and John Casola, chief investment officer at the Canada Infrastructure Bank.

    Statement by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on the violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones, 10 September 2025.
    🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
    Last night, numerous drones from Russia violated Polish airspace. Our air defences were activated and successfully ensured the defence of NATO territory, as they are designed to do. Several Allies were involved alongside Poland. This included Polish F16s, Dutch F35s, Italian AWACS, NATO Multi Role Tanker Transport, and German Patriots. I commend the pilots and all who contributed to this quick and skillful response.
    The North Atlantic Council met this morning and discussed the situation in light of Poland’s request for consultations under Article 4 of the Washington Treaty. Allies expressed solidarity with Poland and denounced Russia’s reckless behaviour. A full assessment of the incident is ongoing. What is clear is that the violation last night is not an isolated incident.
    The Supreme Allied Commander will continue to actively manage our deterrence and defence posture along the entire eastern flank. Allies are resolved to defend every inch of Allied territory. We will closely monitor the situation along our eastern flank, our air defences continually at the ready.
    This only reinforces the importance of NATO and the path to which Allies agreed at our Summit in The Hague earlier this year. We need to invest more in our defence, ramp up defence production so we have what we need to deter and defend, and we need to continue to support Ukraine, whose security is interlinked with our own.
    And let me conclude by saying that Russia is waging a dangerous war of aggression against Ukraine that continually targets civilians and civilian infrastructure. Allies are determined to step up their support for Ukraine in the face of Russia's escalating campaign.

  • Made in Canada Ferries and Rail Summit

    Made in Canada Ferries and Rail Summit
    Sep 4 2025
    In Hamilton, Ont., Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland delivers opening remarks at the Made in Canada: Ferries and Rail Summit. The event brings together industry leaders, suppliers, and government officials to discuss how they can use domestic steel and aluminum to build transportation infrastructure.
    Also speaking are Tammy Oommen (head of strategic initiatives at ArcelorMittal Dofasco), John Zerucelli (secretary of state for labour), Prabmeet Sarkaria (Ontario’s minister of transportation), and Elvis Loveless (Newfoundland and Labrador’s minister of transportation and infrastructure).
    Jamie Moses (Manitoba’s minister of business, mining, trade and job creation) and Doug Ford (premier of Ontario) provide remarks by videoconference.

    Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters that Papua New Guinea has long led the charge for climate justice, as the UN Climate Conference approaches in Brazil, “the world must move faster to keep the 1.5 degrees limit alive” and also to produce a credible path to achieve the $1.3 trillion dollar objective decided in Baku during the last Climate Conference.
    During a press conference today (02 Sep) with Prime Minister James Marape, the Secretary-General said he was honoured to be the first UN Secretary-General to visit Papua New Guinea and to join in celebrating fifty years of the country’s independence.
    For the past five decades, he said, Papua New Guineans have taken on a profound task: to weave their breathtaking diversity into one people, and one country that leaves no one behind, Guterres noted.
    He also reiterated his “strong appeal” for the reform of the international financial architecture that “must reflect the world of today with a much larger participation of developing countries in its institutions and their decision-making process.”
    “This is a basic condition for them to better serve countries like yours. This includes real action on debt relief; tripling the lending capacity of multilateral development banks; and the mobilization of private capital at scale to the service of developing countries,” Guterres added.
    Tomorrow, the Secretary-General will address a special session of the Parliament to mark the 50th anniversary of the country’s independence.

  • US-Venezuela tensions rise as US warships arrive in Southern Caribbean

    US-Venezuela tensions rise as US warships arrive in Southern Caribbean
    Aug 31 2025
    • On Thursday, Adm. Daryl Caudle said the United States is boosting its maritime force off Venezuela, with more vessels expected next week following recent confirmations of naval deployments.
    • Policy drivers include President Donald Trump's focus on fentanyl, aiming to counter Latin American drug cartels linked to illicit drug flows into U.S. communities.
    • President Nicolás Maduro responded by urging Venezuelans to join a volunteer militia, while the ruling party claims membership exceeds 4.5 million despite critics calling this an overcount.
    • Officials repudiated U.S. accusations and appealed on Tuesday, with Maduro saying over 90% of Venezuelans reject the U.S. `announcements and threats` and calling for militia enlistment, while Samuel Moncada urged António Guterres to halt `all its hostile actions and threats` and Maduro denied drug-trafficking claims.
    • Three amphibious assault ships carrying more than 4,000 sailors and Marines are due next week, but Christopher Sabatini, research fellow at Chatham House, says it's to `make as much noise as possible`; opposition leader Maria Corina Machado adds, `The time has come for change`.
