North American Aerospace Defence Command

In a world of uncertainty, there is one critical mission the North American Aerospace Defence Command can count on every year: tracking Santa Claus.

U.S. President Joe Biden is embarking on a 27-hour whirlwind visit to Ottawa, where he will meet Friday with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and speak to a joint session of Parliament — his first bilateral sojourn north as commander-in-chief.

A committee of MPs is calling on the federal government to issue an overarching annual national-security threat assessment and provide more information on how to prevent cyber attacks, particularly from Russia.

After days of shooting down unidentified “objects,” fighter jets from Canada and the United States were scrambled on Monday, February 14, 2023, night to intercept four Russian military aircraft as they buzzed North American airspace.

The unidentified flying object shot down over Yukon this weekend will undoubtedly be one of the main topics of discussion between Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the two meet in Whitehorse for previously scheduled talks.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived in this remote northern community on Thursday, August 25, 2022, to attend the Canadian military’s largest Arctic training exercise, in what many see as a clear signal that defending Canada's North is now a top priority for his government.

Officials also acknowledged that even with an additional $8 billion, Canada will remain far short of NATO’s spending target, even as other allies dramatically ramp up their own military investments following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is hinting that new investments are coming for Canada’s Arctic as tensions with Russia, and Moscow’s unpredictability, incite new fears of a potential attack from the north.

The expansion of cyberspace makes it easier for foreign adversaries to pilfer valuable secrets, says a senior official at Canada's spy service.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to put his country’s nuclear arsenal on high alert last weekend has sparked hope that Ottawa and Washington will finally act with urgency in upgrading North America’s defences.

Two long-range Russian bombers capable of carrying nuclear missiles buzzed Canadian airspace on Friday, January 31, 2020, morning, the North American Aerospace Defence Command said, days after a senior military officer warned that North America's early-warning system is outdated.

A 23-year-old man has been arrested for murder after a member of the Canadian Armed Forces died from serious head injuries sustained in what police are describing as a violent attack in Florida.

The shadow of a new Cold War hung heavy on Tuesday, February 12, 2019, as the commander of North America's early-warning system urged Canada and the U.S. to get on with upgrading the continent's aging defences in the face of growing threats from Russia and others.

The Trudeau government is taking its time deciding how to protect Canada from ballistic missiles as part of a larger review of North American defences.

The top Canadian officer at the North American Aerospace Defence Command says the system needs to evolve to meet modern threats.
