It also reduces Europe, Canada has what it needs. This could be the basis of the post -NATO alliance

Weakly, but not slowly, the outline of the new world order appears in mind – which is a global matter of large energy blocks and with much lower bases that are now sliding.

It is still unclear where Canada will suit this new world. But there are hints of what could be the way forward for this country because it is struggling with a painful awareness that the most powerful and closest ally has been managed, every new day brings Frank evidence of Washington’s embrace of the Kremlin.

European officials have conducted talks with Canada aimed at integrating this country into a new partnership to produce defense, which may allow Canadian companies to provide bids for contracts as Europe is preparing to reinforcing a large scale.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Milani Jolie, told CBC Power and politics David Kokran host on Wednesday.

“I think it results from good news because in the end we need to make sure that we can be closer to the Europeans … including defensive purchases.”

Christian Lebercht, of the Royal Military College in Canada and Queen University, Canada needs a concrete show to Europe because the continent quickly re -evaluates it.

“The biggest danger to Canada has always been Canada alone in the world,” he said. “If Europe goes alone in decision -making, its ability to defend itself, etc., you will need Canada less than now.”

In the three weeks since Failure in the Oval Office Where US President Donald Trump and Vice President GD Verse reprimanded Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski, European leaders made great steps towards a new alliance focused on defending Ukraine and the rest of the continent from the Russian aggression.

The question is, how much space in Canada in this alliance?

Europe is widely transported

European leaders are in the midst of unprecedented reform of the collective defense of their continent.

“We live in the most important and dangerous time,” said the head of the European Union Committee, Ursula von der Layen.

“In this world, we cannot rely on others to maintain our safety,” said Roberta Mitsola, Speaker of the European Union.

French President Emmanuel Macron addressed his nation on peak time TV: “I want to believe that the United States will remain by our side. But we need to be prepared.”

Tom Anders, former Airbus president and head of the German Foreign Relations Council, went further: “We cannot close our eyes to the fact that the United States Now deduct“

Although he left the European Union five years ago, Britain has made it clear that it wanted to join the emerging coalition. Prime Minister Kiir Starmer called for a “alliance of those who wish”-the open to other than Europe-to continue to defend Ukraine after abandoning Washington.

“Canada is the only non -European country that has been invited to these meetings because it is an ally of NATO, and it has participated so far,” said Jimmy Xia, who was the Deputy Assistant Secretary -General of NATO.

It is clear that the Europeans welcome any help they can get when it comes to Ukraine. But it is not clear that they are ready to welcome Canada in a more formal alliance if NATO continues to disintegrate under the pressure of the United States.

2 harsh facts

In a world in which the United States approaches Russia and becomes increasingly hostile to Western democracies, Canada faces harsh reality, both of which limits its attractiveness as an ally of other countries in any arrangement after NATO.

The first is that Canada seeks to obtain new alliances because it feels threatened by talking about annexation, but the allies who conquer them – with the exception of Denmark – feel threatened by Moscow, not Washington. Official alliances with mutual defense obligations are usually more attractive to countries facing the same threats of the same quarters.

The second is that a few countries will link themselves to obligations to defend an ally who cannot restore good. Canada does not have the ability to display a large military force on other parts of the world, such as Europe.

“The cockroaches were our allies in terms of standing in Canada,” Lebercht told CBC News. Small symbolic gestures.

Last week in the Oval Office, NATO Secretary -General Mark Retti remained a silence until he smiled as Trump made some of The most threat The annexation comments so far about both Canada and Greenland.

Canada has what Europe needs

While Canada cannot currently present NATO more than a The power of the brigadeIt has other things that Europe needs badly, and this may be the basis of a new security arrangement.

Despite the efforts made to the same imposition, Europe remains It adopts heavily On Russian gas. Half LNG imports (LNG) comes from the increasingly non -friendly United States.

“Europe is very vulnerable to extortion of energy by the Trump administration,” said Liopricht. “Trump will do exactly what Putin did to Europe. How do you try to alleviate this danger? You can buy liquid natural gas from Canada.”

The German government has shown strong interest in Canadian gas and green hydrogen. In 2022, former counselor Olaf Schools traveled to Newfoundland to sign deal For hydrogen from a large wind project in the Port Peninsula or Port.

Recently, Canadian leaders have made this particular stadium.

“We know that we have everything that the country dreams about in the world,” said Julie V -CNN. “We have all the energy needed. We have all the fertilizers and potash necessary. We have all the lands. Also we have a great agricultural power. We have all the necessary uranium, electrical energy, oil and gas. We have all people, decisive minerals, talent, and I can continue and move forward.”

Infrastructure is missing

“Canadian energy comes with a few negative aspects associated with the United States and Russia.” Canadian energy “Rodrich Kisuiter, a former general staff officer and a member of Bondstag (Parliament), who works on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

“It is much better to finance Canada and receive Canadian fossil energy and LNG instead of indirectly pushing Russia from its energy and gas. It will be useful for each of us if Europe and your country cooperate in this.”

But Canada also has a problem: Lack of infrastructure To get its energy to Europe.

“There are no ports,” he said.

KieseWetter CBC News told that the partnership should be military and economic.

“Why should Canada not become a third party to contribute to European security, and vice versa while contributing to the European Union to Canada’s security?” He said.

“In the 1980s and 1990s, the German forces in Shilo (Manitoba) had exercises at the level of the brigade on your lands. Why should we not activate that?”

A refuge of Russian missiles

Lubricht says there is something else that Canada Europe can offer.

“Canada provides defense deeply. It is very difficult to hit this country with missiles,” he said.

The wide terrain in Canada not only provides unique possibilities for training European forces, including low flight training at the impossible level on Europe, but can play an important role in reinforcing Europe.

“You have to make things, ammunition, tanks, and the like,” Lubricht said. “Where will you manufacture it?”

Canada helped maintain the British Federal Reserve and armed men during the darkest days of war, when all continental Europe were under Nazi occupation.

“We have seen in Ukraine the amount of what can be fully blurred through these ongoing missile attacks,” said Xia. “Europe will invest in air defense and ballistic defense, but you will never have complete coverage.”

He said that Canada could offer European military assets a relatively safe haven, as well as a supply line of the basic minerals of modern weapons technology.

“In every crisis, there is an opportunity. Certainly, this is an opportunity for Europe and Canada to approach each other,” he said.

Spend, spent, spent

“So the message (from Canada) is that we will do two things for our allies: defense in the depth and security of energy, “said Lubricht, but in return, you must have our back now. “

He says that governments in Europe are now displaying the enormous reinstalization process as an economic opportunity for their youth.

“The military proposal made by Starmer at the UK’s contribution table only to the peacekeeping force in Ukraine will cost the equivalent of one percent of GDP,” he said.

“He wanders around selling this, you can see that there are online videos that this defensive investment will create good jobs for the British. We will create engineering jobs. We will innovate. This is a good thing for Britain. As you know, I don’t see any Canadian politician selling it.

“If you are politician, I will say every factory in Canada that runs out of work, and we will discover how we can make it part of the defensive industrial complex and how we can provide our European partners.”
