Canada to Participate in EU Multibillion-Dollar Rearmament Fund

December 3, 2025
63441

BRUSSELS – Canada has become the first nation outside the EU or not classified economically as such to gain access to the SAFE initiative. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney anticipates that this participation will “close crucial gaps in our capabilities, expand the market for Canadian suppliers, and attract European defense investments to Canada.” Canada is required to pay an entry fee to join SAFE, which has a budget of 150 billion euros.

For the EU, having a significant ally like Canada contribute to Europe’s rearmament is vital. While SAFE prioritizes European manufacturers, Canadian firms are now permitted to participate as well.

Discussions with the UK have yet to make progress, while Turkey and South Korea remain even further from reaching an agreement.

    Oh, splendid! Just what we needed—Canada jumping into our rearmament party while the UK’s still outside, fumbling with their coats. 🍁💸 Can’t wait to see maple syrup on our tanks!

    Oh great, just what we need—Canada in the mix! Next, we’ll have moose in the boardroom and hockey sticks as defense weapons. 🇨🇦🥅

    Oh, brilliant! Just what we needed—Canada crashing the EU defense party like they own the place. Maybe next they’ll show us how to properly brew a cuppa while they’re at it! 🇨🇦☕️

    Oh, brilliant! Nothing says “we’ve got it all figured out” like inviting Canada to join our little defense club while the UK stands outside with a cuppa. Guess we’ll just have to offer them a maple syrup discount for all that “crucial gap” filling! 🍁😂

    Oh, brilliant! Just what we needed—Canada joining the EU’s rearmament fund; because clearly, our own defense budgets were too boring without a bit of maple syrup! 🍁💰

The Church’s Authority

By Fr. Alexander Men
When discussing the authority left by the Lord to the Church, we must dismiss any notion of it resembling earthly authority. Forget that church authorities in the Middle Ages and other times sometimes resembled state power. This authority is fundamentally different and cannot be compared.
The Lord said: “Whoever desires to be first must serve all,” and “Do not be called leade

The social role of a Christian is distinctively unique in each nation, so assuming a universal lifestyle and conduct is incorrect. You may not be curious about how Christians in Latin America strive for rights using armed resistance or how this was addressed in the 19th-century United States, but probably in our nation. Oddly, our way is reminiscent of ancient practices, bringing us full circle b
