    I really hope this is another step towards CANZUK; with the fall of NAFTA and CUSMA, the up coming reshaping of NATO, and the potential shrinking of the G7 it is important that we are all ready. Australia is probably working with this in mind, if we do not have some defence treaty with them right now related to CANZUK.

    I really do hope CANZUK becomes a thing, the only thing I would not be happy about is the royal family would still have their faces on our currency.

      i hope so too. australia does look to be pretty doggedly attached to AUKUS, but there’s probably room for multiple alliances

      I hope this brings Canada and Australia closer together, but I think it’s just because Australia has been running an over the horizon radar for decades (since the 1960s), and so we have experts on the technology

      Edit: I just found this: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-19/canada-snuck-past-trump-buy-jorn-defence-radar/105069292

      TLDR: Australia wanted to sell our Jindalee over-the-horizon radar (JORN) to the US, then Trump happened, so now we’re selling it to Canada
