PM Mark Carney condemns Russian drone attack in Poland

PM Mark Carney has condemned the Russian drone incursion into Poland, saying it is completely counterproductive to peace efforts. Carney said Canada is monitoring the situation closely. The prime minister said that to bring lasting peace to Ukraine and Europe, we must increase pressure on Putin to end the Ukraine war. Defence Minister David McGuinty said in a statement that several NATO countries were involved in shooting down a Russian drone that violated Polish airspace, but he did not confirm whether any Canadian resources were used in the operation. The government said that Canada's p

Poland says it shot down Russian drones that violated its airspace during strikes on Ukraine

Poland says that multiple Russian drones entered its territory over the course of several hours and were shot down with help from NATO allies. The military described the incursion as an ``act of aggression'' carried out during a wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine. Russia said it did not target Poland. But close ally, Belarus, said it tracked some drones that ``lost their course'' because they were jammed. However, several European leaders said they believe that the incursion amounted to an intentional escalation by Russia. Poland said some of the drones came from Belarus. Polish airspace has

Greer Takes Tough Stance Amid Canada-U.S. Tariff Talks

As Canada continues efforts to secure a tariff deal with the United States, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has issued a strong response. Speaking to reporters in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday, Greer said the proposed 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods are not a sudden decision. He said they are a response to retaliatory measures previously imposed by Canada against U.S. products. Greer criticized Canada for imposing retaliatory tariffs rather than engaging directly with Washington, comparing the approach to the strategy used by countries such as China. He pointed to Canadian measure
