To every member of the @CanadianForces: thank you for your service and your commitment to protecting Canada.

Today, we announced that Canada is acquiring up to 16 Poseidon aircraft, with the first deliveries set to begin in 2026. The Poseidon is the right aircraft for Canada at the right price for Canadians. This platform is proven – and it is operated by all our Five Eyes allies.
