Experts say that concerns about sovereignty have made Ottawa reluctant to let allies operate in the region.
In a recent exclusive interview with CBC News [video], the United Kingdom's top military commander said his country is "keen to cooperate" and learn more about how to survive and fight in a cold, remote setting.
Gen. Sir Nick Carter said Britain would also like to "cooperate in terms of helping Canada do what Canada needs to do as an Arctic country."
The offer was quietly floated months ago in government circles. Experts say, however, that successive Canadian governments have been reluctant to allow anyone — even close allies — to become too deeply embedded in the region.

Canada is one of the richest and most prosperous countries in the world, and has one of the highest levels of quality of life. However, things weren't always this good in Canada. Between the 80s and 90s the country suffered a severe crisis that shook its solvency.

The Canadian Economy is a paradox, highly advanced but dependent on natural resources. As the world’s second largest country, land has always played a huge role. Though over time, this has led to speculation over just how dependent Canada’s Economy is on land directly, possessing the third largest oil reserves in the world and increasingly, a booming housing market.
Raising some key questions. Such as how dependent is Canada on oil? What role have Canada's free trade agreements played? And is the Canadian housing market a bubble?

Last week, the US Treasury bond market started crashing. Canada holds (or held) about $370B in US Treasury bonds. Two days ago, Barron's posted an article that said, "The latest selloff was led by Canada, the data showed. Adding to the concern about foreign selling is that other currencies have tumbled against the dollar, giving foreign central banks a reason to sell Treasuries and use the dollars to buy their own currencies to prop them up." Japan, who is the largest holder of US Treasury bonds - about $1 trillion also started selling off their bonds.
This is brilliant and explains why our dollar has been rising while the US dollar is dropping a lot. Canada off-loaded our US Treasury Bonds to devalue the US dollar and boost our own. On March 11, the Government of Canada launched a five-year US$3.5 billion global bond, with an order book exceeding US$13.9 billion, underscoring investor confidence in Canada’s resilient economy, sound fiscal position, and AAA credit ratings. What does that mean? It means Investors are moving their money to Canada because of the instability in the US, the US market, and the US administration.
For context, around the US, Moody's stated on March 26: "Moody’s Warns Recent Policy Decisions Worsen U.S. Fiscal State, Maintains Negative Outlook Rating". Fitch and the S&P have the US listed at AA+ from AAA after they were downgraded in 2023; Moody's still has them at AAA. Fitch and the S&P have the US outlook as stable, but Moody's has them as negative. Canada currently holds a AAA credit rating from two major credit rating agencies, Standard & Poor's and Moody's. DBRS also rates Canada at AAA. These ratings are considered high-grade and indicate that the Canadian government is considered a low-risk borrower. Canada is one of the few countries in the world with a AAA credit rating from at least two of the top global rating agencies.
This is what a Global Economist with a PhD in economics from Oxford does for a country when faced with economic intimidation, bullying, and strong arming.
PM Carney has also pulled the F-35 contract to source fighter jets from Europe, and about a month ago, France had nuclear submarines sitting in the harbour in Nova Scotia.

UKUSA Agreement - FVEY

Born out of the Cold War, Five Eyes is a multinational spy network comprised of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and the United States. The member states of Five Eyes gather intelligence about foreign countries, sharing it freely between themselves.
The United Kingdom – United States of America Agreement (UKUSA) is a multilateral agreement for cooperation in signals intelligence between Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The alliance of intelligence operations is also known as the Five Eyes. In classification markings this is abbreviated as FVEY, with the individual countries being abbreviated as AUS, CAN, NZL, GBR, and USA, respectively.
Emerging from an informal agreement related to the 1941 Atlantic Charter, the secret treaty was renewed with the passage of the 1943 BRUSA Agreement, before being officially enacted on 5 March 1946 by the United Kingdom and the United States. In the following years, it was extended to encompass Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Other countries, known as "third parties", such as West Germany, the Philippines, and several Nordic countries, also joined the UKUSA community in associate capacities, although they are not part of mechanism for automatic sharing of intelligence that exists between the Five Eyes.
Much of the sharing of information is performed via the ultra-sensitive STONEGHOST network, which has been claimed to contain "some of the Western world's most closely guarded secrets". Besides laying down rules for intelligence sharing, the agreement formalized and cemented the "Special Relationship" between the UK and the US.
Due to its status as a secret treaty, its existence was not known to the Prime Minister of Australia until 1973, and it was not disclosed to the public until 2005. On 25 June 2010, for the first time in history, the full text of the agreement was publicly released by the United Kingdom and the United States, and can now be viewed online. Shortly after its release, the seven-page UKUSA Agreement was recognized by Time magazine as one of the Cold War's most important documents, with immense historical significance.
The global surveillance disclosure by Edward Snowden has shown that the intelligence-sharing activities between the First World allies of the Cold War are rapidly shifting into the digital realm of the Internet.
The documents, including diary entries, detail the war time meetings that began at Bletchley Park and led to the UKUSA deal being signed in March 1946. The alliance involved working together to intercept communications and break codes, sharing almost everything.
A short entry from February 1941 in the diary of Alastair Denniston, released for the first time today by GCHQ, marked the beginning of what was once the most secret of relationships. Denniston was head of Bletchley Park and he was welcoming a group of American code breakers at a time when the US had not yet entered WW2.
"The Ys are coming!" the entry read - meaning the Yanks. The Americans had undertaken a perilous crossing with their boat shot at by Nazi planes but they arrived at the home of British code breakers on a mission of huge importance.
With the permission of then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the two groups of spies would share their most sensitive secrets - that the UK had broken the German Enigma code and the US the Japanese code called Purple.
Further diary entries reveal how key figures would travel back and forth over the Atlantic, including Denniston to meet with his opposite number as well as code breaker Alan Turing.

The power of the alliance in WW2 has made it the heart of what is sometimes called the "special relationship" between the two countries. The term seems increasingly outdated but the one place where it has always been real is when it comes to code breaking.
The relationship forged in that visit would outlast WW2 and, after a series of meetings, be formalised at the start of the Cold War with a document signed in Washington on 5 March 1946. The agreement was something of a "marriage contract" - each agreed honesty, openness and commitment to the other including a "no spy agreement" in which they would not target the other side. They would share nearly all the intelligence they produced through breaking codes and intercepting communications (known as signals intelligence or SIGINT) although the agreement did allow some wiggle room if one side felt they had to act independently.
Initially known as UKUSA, over the next 10 years it would be expanded as Australia, Canada and New Zealand joined, making up what is known today as the Five Eyes alliance.

23-5-25 Xina-backed hackers ‘living off the land’ to target critical systems, says Five Eyes group: Targets include US military facilities on Guam that would be key in an Asia-Pacific conflict, say Microsoft and western spy agencies. ... The US and western security agencies warned in their advisory that the activities involved “living off the land” tactics, which take advantage of built-in network tools to blend in with normal Windows systems. The advisory warned that the hacking could then incorporate legitimate system administration commands that appear “benign”. While Xinese hackers are known to spy on western countries, this is one of the largest known cyber-espionage campaigns against American critical infrastructure.
