NATO Watch | Canada's Growing Role in NATO, Defence Spending & Ukraine | Weekly Security Update

Welcome to this week's edition of NATO Watch with Dr. Bryan Brulotte, Vice Chair of the NATO Association of Canada.

In this episode, we examine one of the biggest shifts taking place within the NATO Alliance. The conversation is no longer focused solely on how much Allies are spending on defence—it's now about what military capability that investment is actually delivering.

This week's analysis covers:

NATO's transition from political commitments to military implementation
Canada's expanding leadership role within NATO
Operation REASSURANCE and Canada's presence on NATO's eastern flank
New defence procurement, including Joint Strike Missiles and military vehicles
NATO's growing investment in drones, artificial intelligence and counter-drone capabilities
Military assistance for Ukraine and what it means for European security
The future challenges facing NATO, including recruitment, industrial production and long-term readiness
As NATO enters a new era of defence modernization, this weekly series provides expert insight into the strategic developments shaping Canada, the Alliance, and global security.
