BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said on Sunday that Canada released its Indo-Pacific strategy, which aims to solidify the nation's leadership position in the area through more military expenditure and stronger commercial connections.

"Today, as we launch Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy, you will see the full picture of how Canada intends not just to engage, but to lead, in the midst of a generational global shift," Joly tweeted.

The strategy also included extra spending plans for $1.7 billion to boost cyber security, intelligence capabilities, and military presence.

The document also portrayed China as "a disruptive global power," which Canada will counter by reducing investment, among other things. According to Reuters, Ottawa also intended to tighten restrictions on foreign investment and protect intellectual property to stop China's state-owned companies from funneling money into Canada's most important industries.

The report also recommended that Canada keep its relations with China intact in spite of the recommendations made.

According to the World Bank, China, which accounts for about 15% of all imports, is Canada's second-most significant trading partner behind the US.
