They also introduced a new old cybersecurity bill. At the G7, they announced money for Ukraine and talked up trade with the USA. The Coast Guard may, or may not, be armed, depending who you ask and on what day. Jagmeet Singh and Sikh Canadians face intimidation from India but that didn't stop Carney from reinstating our high commissioner to India.
