The retired Royal Canadian Air Force lieutenant general, who was deputy commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in Colorado Springs from July 2020 until June 2023, knows what it takes to get a new fleet of fighter aircraft up and running.

Canadian travel to Las Vegas continues to crater amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s attacks on Canada, and the tourism slump in Sin City has become a major midterm election issue.
Nevada Democrats are trying to capitalize on the decline, blaming Trump’s trade war and threats toward Canada — the state’s largest source of international tourists.
“The Trump Slump is real, and Las Vegas tourism is tanking,” the party said in one of its campaign messages ahead of the November vote in this crucial swing state.
Some of the decline can be traced to a drop in Canadian visitors but there are a number of issues that have contributed to the slump.

The radars watching over Canada’s Arctic region were designed when the Soviet Union was a country. The Royal Canadian Navy’s frigates and the Royal Canadian Air Force’s fighter jets are nearing the end of their useful lives. As Canada looks to reinvigorate its defence sector with billions of dollars in new spending, years of neglect may have left Canadian Forces short of the equipment they need to fight alongside their allies.
Canada is expected to put 25 per cent of its 2026 defence budget toward major equipment, according to NATO data compiled by Benchmark Canada, a Macdonald-Laurier Institute project that ranks the country against its allies. That would exceed NATO’s 20 per cent guideline for a second consecutive year, but leave Canada ranked 28 among the 31 allies measured.

MI5 is devoting more resource to countering state threats than during the Cold War, the head of the intelligence service has said, as he labelled Russia “aggressor number one”.
