Canada has decided to move forward with Saab GlobalEye as its new airborne capability for Airborne Early Warning and Control. I look forward to welcoming Canada into the GlobalEye family.

GlobalEye is a highly modern and capable system that now has earned the trust of a fourth country, in addition to Sweden, France and the UAE.

By operating Global Eye, Canada strengthens its ability to safeguard their sovereignty while contributing to NATO’s collective defence, including being a vital asset for surveillance and control of the Arctic region.

As the GlobalEye is based on the Canadian Bombardier Global 6500 platform, GlobalEye is already creating jobs in Canada, and working with the Canadian supply chain. This decision ties our two nations even closer together.

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

[Alexander Panetta @Alex_Panetta]

One of the worst trade takes on Canadian Twitter sounds something like: “We’ll never replace the U.S. — 75% of our exports!” You don’t need to replace 75%. You need stuff like this —>

I am deeply saddened by this news. He was a wonderful counsellor and dear friend. His wisdom is a part of everything my colleagues ⁦@adMare_Bio⁩ have achieved. https://t.co/NGFXfQLnzI

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with Prime Minister of Canada @MarkJCarney.

We shared details of our contacts with President Trump. I informed him about the situation on the battlefield and Russia’s vile strikes on our energy infrastructure and people. We discussed specific steps that can help us defend against this and strengthen the resilience of our energy system.

We also addressed the PURL initiative. Canada has already made a significant contribution, and there is potential to expand its involvement in the program. We also discussed our joint work with partners within the Coalition of the Willing. The practical side of this format will be strengthened. We coordinated our next steps.

Thank you, Mark, for the conversation and for your readiness to work substantively across all areas.

Reminder that if you see someone on the timeline or comments calling for civil war, there’s a 90% chance they’re either:
> A Bot
> A Foreign Adversary
> Both

act accordingly.

On CUSMA: "It's a huge deal. It's not perfect and it's not good for some [sectors], but overall it's the best deal for any country in the world that currently exists."

[Mike Crawley @MikeCrawleyCBC]

Hi folks, I’m in Washington, filling in at the CBC bureau for the next few weeks. Here’s my first piece, on how CUSMA shields the vast bulk of Canadian exports from Trump’s tariffs.

Conservatives *love* history, so long as it's revisionist.

@MarilynGladuSL peddled bogus cures.

@LeslynLewis questioned the efficacy of vaccinating children.

@DeanAllisonMP compared natural immunity to vaccinations and campaigned against vaccines.

This BS took lives.

I dont tweet often but this is a gross mischaracterization of the current PMO and a slap in the face to all young people, racialized people and women who are current or have served as staff in the past. 1/4

Tom Longboat was the greatest marathon runner in the world when he signed up to fight in the First World War for Canada.
He served as a dispatch runner and was twice falsely-reported as dead in the front lines.
This is the story of the Bulldog of Britannia.
