Indigenous guides in the Arctic are training Canada’s military: ‘When they talk, I listen’

Our cooperation with Canada has intensified and should be further enhanced, also to strengthen trans-Atlantic security,

said the E.U. document, released on Wednesday

I know the after-effects of what that did to our communities and the three or four generations that come after it. We’re still dealing with it,

said Jackie Jacobson, a prominent Canadian Ranger and former politician

As Inuit, we have endured a great deal in the name of Canadian sovereignty,

Nunavut premier PJ Akeeagok said during Carney’s visit to Iqaluit

The Rangers you’ll meet don’t go to the armories and play soldier once a week. They live it constantly,

Canada is, and will forever be, an Arctic nation,

he said, flanked by Canada’s top soldier, the country’s defence minister and the Nunavut premier

These are sage men and women born of, and shaped by, the north. They thrive up here,

he said

I love it here, learning from others. And snowmobiling through forests is weird, but really fun,

she said

It’s truly unique. It has a respect for Indigenous ways of knowing, being and seeing, rather than trying to convert people into a different model of service, like conventional soldiers,

he said

When the green army comes up there, we’re going to be the ones that guide them. We know our land, we know areas with overflow, pressure ridges and thin ice. The local knowledge of a ranger is priceless,

he said

We must invest in Canada's north to defend our sovereignty,

Carney told reporters in Iqaluit, capital of the giant Nunavut Arctic territory

The strength of this trading relationship and our integrated energy sectors is foundational to the ongoing mutual success of our economies,

You’ve had over the past couple generations China, Russia and Iran with, I think, increasing success being able to jump in and out of the rules-based order as it suits them,

Harper said

We have a steadfast defender in our sovereign,

he said in opening remarks at a press conference at Canada House

There’s a difference between taking some hard negotiating positions versus just shooting insults back,

he said at a think tank conference in India today

What is clear is that our trade and our security relations are too reliant on the United States. We must diversify,

the former Bank of England governor said

The leaders agreed that the UK-Canadian partnership is based on shared history and values, membership of the Commonwealth and a shared King and they both looked forward to strengthening ties,

it said

It is in this spirit that we will maintain our support for Ukraine and continue to demand clear commitments from Russia,

he added

I want to ensure that France and the whole of Europe works enthusiastically with Canada, the most European of non-European countries, determined like you to maintain the most positive possible relations with the United States,

Mr. Carney told the press alongside Mr. Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris

What we’re looking for with respect to the United States, is to have a more comprehensive discussion of a negotiation of our overall commercial and security relationship,

Mr. Carney told the news media in London,

Given that we’ve known each other for many years, I know that we are receiving a man who loves his country, who is committed to his country,

Mr. Macron said
