UK defence industry spending tops £25 billion for first time
Defence spending with UK industry by the Ministry of Defence has topped £25 billion for the first time, official statistics have revealed.
25 BUKP seems to be about 2.2% of GDP
That suggests that the UK is spending 4.4% of GDP on "Public Safety".

Pearson got the Nobel BECAUSE the US supported the idea of peacekeeping troops and that Canada was the perfect go between with the UK and France. The Americans were furious with them because this happened at the same time as the Hungarian uprising.
Canadian diplomats at the time had a massive outsized impact on post war world affairs. We have not accepted the reality that the glory days are long in the past.

Like when Canada deliberately side-stepped being a permanent member of the UNSC, because it wanted to have its contribution to nuclear power (after it contributed to the Manhattan Project, of course) used for good, not evil…hence why France got the ‘well then, who else do we offer the seat to?’ seat, and Canada concentrated on proliferating peaceful nuclear technology to, ummm….(checks notes)….uhhhh….previously heretofore in-nuclear armed Pakistan and India…
If there were a U.N. Naivety Council, Canada would be the Permanent Chair…

Russia's “Firehose of Falsehood” Propaganda Model
Russia's propaganda model is high-volume and multichannel, and it disseminates messages without regard for the truth. It is rapid, continuous, and repetitive, and it does not commit to consistency.

China 'compromised' Canadian government networks and stole valuable info: spy agency
China-sponsored threat actors have infiltrated at least 20 networks associated with federal government: CSE
Threat actors sponsored by China "compromised" Canadian government networks over the past five years and collected valuable information, says a new report from Canada's cyber spy agency.
The Communications Security Establishment, responsible for foreign signals intelligence, cyber operations and cyber security, released its updated national cyber threat assessment on Wednesday. The assessment flags threats the agency sees as the most pressing ones facing individuals and organizations in Canada.
"We're often asked, what keeps up at night? Well, pick the page," Caroline Xavier, CSE chief, told a news conference in Ottawa.
CSE's latest report, which casts ahead to the 2025-2026 fiscal year, names the People's Republic of China (PRC) as "the most comprehensive cyber security threat facing Canada today" and says the scale, tradecraft and ambitions China demonstrates online are "second to none."
