[Embassy of Poland in Canada @PLinCanada]

Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence @KosiniakKamysz, held bilateral talks in Ottawa with Canada’s Minister of National Defence, the Honourable @DavidMcGuinty.

The ministers signed a Letter of Intent paving the way for deeper Polish-Canadian defence industry cooperation, including in the fields of drones and emerging technologies. They also discussed new commercial opportunities, the joint Polish-Canadian presence on @NATO's Eastern Flank, and continued support for Ukraine.

The Polish-Canadian brotherhood-in-arms, rooted in a strong shared history, has an even stronger future ahead.

Canada’s international student system needs stronger oversight — but rapid policy shifts are hitting universities.

Fewer permits. Unfilled seats.

[Embassy of Poland in Canada @PLinCanada]

🇵🇱 Last Saturday, we joined Polonia in commemorating the anniversaries of the Katyń Massacre and the Smoleńsk air disaster.

The Katyń Massacre of 1940 was a series of systematic mass executions carried out by the communist NKVD of nearly 22,000 Polish officers, police, border guards, and members of the intelligentsia. It was a Soviet Russia attempt to erase the most educated strata of Polish society.

The Smolensk air disaster of 2010 was a tragedy in which Poland’s leadership, including President Lech Kaczyński, lost their lives while travelling to commemorate the victims of the Katyń Massacre of 1940.

On this occasion, on behalf of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence @KosiniakKamysz, Ambassador @WitoldDzielski had the honour of awarding Mr Andrew Kavchak the Gold Medal of the Polish Armed Forces for his outstanding dedication to preserving the memory of Katyń Massacre in North America. In the laudation, Defence Attaché to Canada, Captain (Navy) Paweł Podgórny, highlighted Mr Kavchak’s extensive work and lifelong commitment. Mr Kavchak is the grandson of Major Stanisław Kawczak, who was murdered in 1940 in Katyń.

Many thanks to The Oskar Halecki Institute in Canada for organising this meaningful event, and to our special guests from the @malopolskaPL Regional Assembly.

Marking the launch of @NASA's Artemis II mission to the moon, The King has written to mission specialist, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Colonel Jeremy Hansen - the first Canadian to travel on a moon mission - commending his leadership and vision.

The first rocket to go around the moon in more than 50 years, Artemis II will be NASA’s first mission with crew aboard the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft.

As global space activity, exploration, and the space economy rapidly expand, His Majesty recognises the importance of stewardship and responsible governance to protect the infinite wonders of the universe.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

When Wisława Szymborska was asked in a letter why she was awarded the Nobel Prize she didn’t send a response but her secretary claims that she was very tempted to answer that it was “because obviously Swedes are weird.”

Szymborska’s sense of humour, playfulness and wittiness is also reflected in her poetry. Irony and deceptive simplicity are elements that are recognised in all her written pieces.

She lived a modest and private life before being awarded the literature prize. Her friends supposedly joked about her being the only poet in the world that didn’t want to receive a Nobel Prize. Szymborska often described the year after the award as overwhelming.

In her spare time, Szymborska was very passionate about making collages that she gave to friends and acquaintances. She is remembered as one of our most beloved poets of the 20th century.
