Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - February23, 2025 - Canadian Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced plans to double the size of the Canadian Ranger force, revive a plan to give the Royal Canadian Navy two armed heavy icebreakers to patrol the Far North, and build Canada's first permanent base since the end of the Cold War.
The plan will be funded by cutting foreign aid.
Poilievre criticized Russian military buildup and growing Chinese designs on the region, stating that the Canadian Arctic is under threat and trade relations with the US demand firm action.
