The tour included a military radar site in Nunavut that is part of an early warning system that the Liberal government recently promised to spend billions to upgrade over the next 20 years. Trudeau and Stoltenberg also visited a recently opened High Arctic research station before visiting the base at Cold Lake, which is home to one of Canada’s two main fighter jet wings.
While the tour comes amid heightened tensions with Russia following its invasion of Ukraine, it also coincides with Canada’s continued refusal to meet NATO’s target that all members spend two per cent of their GDP on defence.
