Canada looks again to Europe as world marks 80 years since end of Second World War
- Canada is marking 80 years since the end of the Second World War while revisiting its historic ties to Europe amid rising global instability in 2025.
- This pivot follows Canada’s emergence as a key middle power in WWII, its postwar defence reliance on the U.S., and recent challenges from U.S. Protectionism and global conflicts.
- Canada now engages in EU-led negotiations on joint military procurement to strengthen defence cooperation as institutions designed to prevent war face stresses from conflicts like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
- History professor David O’Keefe emphasized that the world faces an increased risk of significant conflict on a scale not witnessed in decades, underscoring growing geopolitical dangers.
- This approach suggests Canada aims to preserve peace and prosperity by reinforcing alliances, boosting defence capabilities, and countering a tripolar world with rising authoritarian powers.
