The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that the federal government will bolster Canada's intelligence-gathering capabilities and "prepare for all contingencies up to and including war" under a new national-security strategy that says protecting sovereignty now requires building "strategic capabilities" in eight sectors, from critical minerals to defence and emerging technologies. The Globe's Steven Chase writes that the Plan for a Stronger Canada, released Thursday, is the first national-security strategy from Ottawa in over two decades. It is a framework guiding the development of five national policies for defence, foreign affairs, economic security, public safety and intelligence. In February, launching the country's first Defence Industrial Strategy, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada should never be hostage to the decisions of others when it comes to security. Mr. Carney recently said he plans to "diversify away from" billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink satellite network, citing instances in which Ukraine's access the SpaceX unit's services was "turned on and off in a way that was not sovereign to the actors in the conflict." He said Canada cannot be reliant on critical technology such as Starlink.
