OTTAWA - Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan is taking aim at what he describes as Chinaâs unpredictability, refusal to play by the rules and expanding footprint around the world, saying those are among the âsignificantâ concerns Canada and its allies have with Beijing.
The comments come amid growing alarm over Chinaâs increasingly assertive foreign policy, which has led Canadian military commanders and others to increasingly focus on what is being described as the next great power competition.
TORONTO Lockdowns have been initiated in the United Kingdom, as Canada as well as several European Union countries cancel flights after information was revealed about a new variant of the virus that causes COVID-19. Researchers are rigorously examining how the mutations arose, what it means for vaccines, and updating their understanding of the virus.
In a tweet, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Sunday evening that Canada would be restricting flights from the U.K. for at least 72 hours. This afternoon, I convened a meeting with the Incident Response Group. We focused on the new variant of COVID-19 identified in the UK, and we have decided to implement new border restrictions in order to keep you - and people right across the country - safe, the prime minister wrote on Twitter.

In a speech delivered on his behalf by Madam Mercy Larbi, Deputy Commissioner, CHRAJ at a ceremony held in Accra to commemorate the 2020 International Anti-corruption Day said this year in Ghana presented a unique opportunity to reflect more on efforts to address corruption.
