Defence Minister David McGuinty says he’s taking a “cautious” approach to drawing conclusions from available intelligence as European leaders warn Moscow may be preparing new hybrid attacks on NATO members.
Asked by The Canadian Press if he’s concerned about warnings from Europe about Russia’s next moves, the minister says it’s difficult to “assimilate all the data” but Ottawa is watching the situation closely.

In recent days, some NATO members have taken precautions against the prospect of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s supply lines in Europe.
Late last week, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned the public the Kremlin may be planning to hit NATO countries with drones or missiles and to claim the attacks were accidental.
French President Emmanuel Macron summoned other party leaders in France for a closed-door intelligence briefing Friday and rolled out new measures to protect critical infrastructure.
When Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store was in Ottawa on Sunday, he said the warnings from NATO members should be taken seriously but also cautioned against overestimating potential threats.
All Quiet on the Liberal Frontal Lobe !
Really? Russia? You are kidding right? With stories out about carney ‘studying’ the possible invasion of Canada? McStupid is worried about RUSSIA!!?? Can this Liberal government get anymore fascist and cockeyed??
I guess my long life has been sheltered, I can’t recall Russia or China ever threatening Canada. The only country ever to have threatened or attacked Canada is the USA, and it continues today. We have plenty of uranium and we can enrich it as well as being able to burn American weapons grad plutonium at Douglas Point. Maybe it’s time for Canada to build nuclear weapons to protect itself from the fascist autocracy to the south.
YEAH ? GREAT NEWS, and WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT ANYTHING WITH OUR FIERCE MILITARY 😄😂🤣
That’s hilarious. Russia give a hoot about Clownada. It’s focused on countries that are actually relevant
@We are all dead ducks
“Spoken like a true Liberal f*ol. Yes and when Trump does step across the border, I suspect most Liberal f*ols will be the first to run to mommy. Id*ots.”
Oh yeah? Well when Trump and his terrorists invade,silly Conservatives will be running around trying to find Assault Style Rifles and anything with more punch than a .338 to form a front.
Fortunately Liberals banned all that scary stuff because we don’t need it.We will respond with Elbows Up and Sunny Ways !
Welp, we’ve already sent all CAF weapons and supplies to Ukraine. So…
Elbows Up Trump’s Rump.

As an Elbows Upper,I have to say Russia is no threat to Canada. They are neighbors of our good friends ,the CCP.
The real threat is the orange menace dictator to the south of us.This is Liberal Canada and the U.S. owes us plenty and tRump better realize that soon or there is going to be big trouble.

You have to have intelligence to understand intelligence. McGuinty is a dumbazz. A Liberal stooge who will say what he is told.
As Canadian defense minister, he is an absolute danger to Canada with his stupid Liberal mentality. Any fool could see what Putin was and is up to years ago. He and Trump have talked privately. Trump knows what he is going to do and that is why Trump wants Greenland so bad. With Greenland under his ugly commie control, he has killed two birds with one stone. Because he knows what’s coming. I believe they all do.
We are fodder folks, unless we stand up and fight back. Unless we do something to show these bastards we are quite aware and quite dangerous in our own right, life as we have known it, will stop. Millions more will die for no reason other than the greed and egos of a handful of ugly bitter, old men who need to be snuggly, safely tucked in 6 ft under. Carney included.
What an embarrassment to humanity…
No skip, Canada’s trans military can’t hit Russia with a rock.

Supply weapons to one side, and the supply lines might be targeted by the other? Seems like a reasonable reaction to me.
Russia is not a threat to those who are not a threat to it. Think about it slowly. It will make sense.
@ Mother Russia – Russia has all it can handle with Ukraine.
Carneys going to reinstate the pantie wearing Colonel Russell Williams, and prepare the old submarines from west Edmonton mall for battle. big man with nothing behind him
It sounds more like Polish gossip than a Russian threat.
this is why Alberta needs to separate , so the liberal government will fall and no longer exist before Russia bombs the hell out of Ottawa
how about Carney mind his own f*** business stop involving Canada HE IS NOT CANADA and stop giving away billions of our tax dollars away to this corrupt country that obvious is not looking for peace .5 years going strong with no end InSite says it all,
