Big milestone for the River-class Destroyer (RCD) project! Full-rate production of the first RCD, the future HMCS Fraser, kicked off in April 2025 and was officially celebrated today at Irving Shipbuilding Inc. in Halifax. https://t.co/AgYFNWunSl

One of the most significant days for Canadian defence in recent memory. Rolling the Coast Guard into the defence portfolio is a major step, one I’ve long anticipated. It aligns Cnd more closely with NATO allies like the U.S. who already integrate similar capabilities

Canada, recently: We can never hit 2% on defence spending

Canada, today: We will hit 2% by March https://t.co/SZRbjEhgTh

Scoop! President Trump has privately communicated to NATO that America's next top general in Europe will also be SACEUR, overseeing NATO operations. The move allays fears from NATO allies and even fellow Republicans that the U.S. might relinquish its traditional role as it presses European allies to do more. w/@andrew_r_gray @idreesali114 @sasilink

New Prime Minister, new Minister of National Defence, same personnel crisis.

We need to see the same enthusiasm for personnel as the one we see for procurement and capability modernization. The hands is in the Cabinet’s, and it goes beyond throwing money at the problem.

The photo, titled Wait for Me, Daddy, is one of the most famous Canadian photos of the 20th century.
Seen as a heartwarming photo of sacrifice during war, there is much more to tell about this photograph.
This is the story of Wait for Me, Daddy.
