📹 Ursula von der Leyen's BIG entrance at UNGA

🔶 The European Commission president and her team arrived at the 80th UN General Assembly in New York looking like they were about to negotiate the fate of the planet.

🔶 Or maybe just carrying the entire, unedited EU legislation on sustainable forestry.

🔶 The oversized metal briefcase was a striking choice of accessory.

🔶 But what is Brussels really bringing to the summit? A new diplomatic strategy… or maybe just some extra baggage?

🇨🇦🪖Canada scrambles to patch up its military

Canadian Defense Minister David McGuinty, meeting with Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth in Washington, confirmed plans to rebuild, rearm, and finally invest in its long-neglected military.

🔊He stressed Canada’s commitment to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the modernization of joint defense systems with the US — a partnership under new strain.

For decades, Canada relied on America’s security umbrella, coasting on the assumption that Washington would always have its back. But in 2025, Donald Trump’s “America First” return has forced Canada to confront the uncomfortable reality.

The Canadian Army is buckling under:

🟠chronic recruitment shortages
🟠broken procurement
🟠outdated kit & rotting infrastructure.

Only around 45% of the air fleet and 46% of the naval fleet are “combat-ready," according to a report in 19fortyfive.
