Some quick details about the article:
* Canada is in talks with the U.K. about joining a NATO-linked Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank.
* Bill Blair, Canada’s High Commissioner to the U.K., said Canada is giving “very serious consideration” to potential future participation in the Global Combat Air Programme.
* GCAP is a joint U.K., Japan, and Italy fighter jet program aimed at delivering sixth-generation fighter jets by 2035.
* Blair said Canada has already initiated conversations with Britain, Japan, and Italy to see where it might be appropriate for Canada to participate.
* Blair said Canada could contribute through its aeronautics industry, technology, training and testing capability, national resources, critical minerals, and secure supply chains.
Interesting timing given the UK’s Secretary of Defence resigned yesterday because the treasury would not allocate sufficient funds to maintain military readiness.
