Defence Minister Anita Anand is headed to the Pentagon as the war in Ukraine injects new urgency into cross\u002Dborder military priorities.
Anand’s arrival — complete with a colour guard, marching-band renditions of the national anthems and a personal greeting from U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin — underlined the urgent nature of the geopolitical pressures reshaping the world from eastern Europe.
The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, say Canada has sent four of the guns — fixtures of Canada’s 10-year war in Afghanistan that can lob shells as far as 30 kilometres — from 1 Royal Canadian Horse Artillery in Shilo, Man. “Russia cannot redraw maps at will to suit its own ends. Russia cannot erode the rules-based international order without consequences. Sovereign nations cannot be erased from the map. And NATO cannot be divided.”
Austin, meanwhile, was effusive in his praise for Canada’s efforts to date, even if they sounded paltry alongside President Joe Biden’s latest supplemental budget request of Congress: $US16 billion in additional money to backstop the war effort over the next “weeks and months.”
