Canada courts Arctic allies to counter Russia
Canada's Arctic defense strategy is shifting away from a bilateral relationship with the United States toward a broader NATO framework. With Sweden and Finland joining NATO after Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine — and in the wake of Trump's tariff attacks — Ottawa is widening its foreign policy focus to align with NATO as the foundation of its Arctic security. Busch said she welcomed a strategic partnership, 'focusing on security and defense, investment and competitiveness, digital innovation and energy raw materials.' Joly name-checked Canadian ties to Saab, as well as to Sweden tech giants Ericsson and ABB (Asea Brown Boveri). 'We have the crown jewels of the private sector of Sweden already in our country, but we want to do more,' the minister said. On Tuesday, Canada added one more jewel when Roshel, a Canadian manufacturer of armored vehicles, signed a 'strategic partnership agreement' with Swedish steel producer Swebor. Roshel said in a statement that the partnership will 'establish Canada's first facility dedicated to production of ballistic-grade steel' — a key ingredient in military vehicles. Earlier in the trip, Joly visited Saab, the Swedish manufacturer of the Gripen — at one time a runner-up on Canada's shortlist to replace its aging fleet of CF-18s. Lockheed Martin won that contract, and will deliver 16 of the stealth fighters so far. Joly is joined on this week's trip by Stephen Fuhr, Canada's new secretary of state for defense procurement, as Ottawa contemplates whether it will buy 72 more F-35s.

Meanwhile in Europe, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand was scheduled to meet with Finland President Alexander Stubb on Tuesday. The tête-à-tête follows Stubb's appearance at the White House Monday alongside other European leaders, supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Trump-brokered negotiation with Russia's Vladimir Putin to end the war in Eastern Europe.

Focus Graphite Provides Update on Patent Application for Advanced Anode Materials Containing Silicon
Novelty and inventiveness confirmed as Focus Graphite moves closer to securing patent for next-generation lithium-ion battery anode materials Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 20, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ('Focus' or the 'Company') is pleased to provide an update on the status of its patent application entitled 'Advanced Anode Materials Comprising Spheroidal Additive-Enhanced Graphite Particles and Process for Making Same' (Canadian patent application No. 3,209,696). The Company reports that no further prior art has been cited in the examination process. The remaining requests for clarification from the examiner are minor in nature, primarily relating to formality issues in the description and figures. Focus is pleased with this outcome and has retained MBM Intellectual Property Law ('MBM') of Ottawa, ON, to prepare and submit claim amendments and expects a positive resolution. In support of its application, Focus has also received the International Preliminary Report on Patentability ('IPRP') issued during the Patent Cooperation Treaty ('PCT'). The IPRP confirmed that the Company's amended claims are both novel and inventive, strengthening the intellectual property protection around Focus' proprietary anode material technology. Additionally, the Company submitted amended claims under the Patent Prosecution Highway ('PPH') for the Canadian case. These amendments, which reduced the number of claims to avoid excess fees, form the basis for the Company's ongoing patent strategy. Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, commented, 'This positive progress in our patent application process represents another important milestone in advancing Focus Graphite's downstream strategy. The recognition that our claims are both novel and inventive underscore the uniqueness of our technology and its potential to contribute meaningfully to next-generation lithium-ion battery anode materials.' The Company will provide further updates as the application advances.

In the news today: Air Canada flying again; Canada Post, workers pick up negotiations
Here is a roundup of stories from The Canadian Press designed to bring you up to speed... Air Canada's North American routes ramp up today Air Canada flights within North America are expected to ramp up this morning as the airline continues its operational restart following a three-day flight attendants' strike. The company resumed flights Tuesday afternoon after a complete halt to Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge routes that began early Saturday morning. It said it was focusing on outbound international flights to start. The airline has cautioned that a return to full, regular service would take seven to 10 days as aircraft and crew are out of position, and that some flights will continue to be cancelled until the schedule is stabilized. It is offering customers with cancelled flights a full refund or credit for future travel if they cannot be rebooked on a competitor's flight. Section 107 of labour code is 'dead': union leader A rare show of defiance by Air Canada flight attendants in the face of a back-to-work order from the government has proven the ineffectiveness of the section of Canada's labour code that allows a minister to order the end to a strike or lockout, the president of the Canadian Labour Congress said. On Aug. 16, just hours after flight attendants hit the picket line after failing to reach a new contract deal with the airline, Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu invoked section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to order binding arbitration and get the flight attendants back on the job. The section grants the minister the power to act to "maintain or secure industrial peace." Flight attendants ignored the order and remained on strike until a deal was finally reached early Tuesday, a move Canadian Labour Congress President Bea Bruske lauded as effective. "It sets a precedent (that) you can defy, and you will find a solution at the bargaining table," Bruske said Tuesday in an interview with The Canadian Press. "It sets a precedent for the reality that (section) 107 is no longer effective, it is effectively dead." Canada Post, union head back to bargaining table Canada Post and the union representing postal workers are set to return to the bargaining table today. Plans to rekindle talks late last week were delayed due to a lack of federal government mediators. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers claimed labour unrest at Air Canada was pulling attention from the postal service's dispute, which has stretched on for more than a year and a half. A few weeks ago, unionized postal workers rejected the Crown corporation's latest offer that would have included wage hikes of around 13 per cent over four years and added part-timers to the workforce. Enbridge, Cenovus target of greenwashing complaint A shareholder advocacy group has filed a greenwashing complaint with Alberta's securities watchdog alleging Cenovus Inc., one of Canada's biggest oilsands producers, and Enbridge Inc., the country's biggest crude pipeline operator, have misled investors in their environmental disclosures. Investors for Paris Compliance, which seeks to hold publicly traded companies accountable for their climate commitments, argues the companies have breached the Alberta Securities Act "with long-standing and widespread inaccurate and incomplete disclosure" related to net-zero commitments. "By extensively using net-zero terminology in their communications, Cenovus and Enbridge have led reasonable investors and the public to believe that their business models are aligned with the net-zero energy transition, which in fact threatens both their existing business and fossil fuel expansion plans," the group said in its submissions to the Alberta Securities Commission. Quebec promises changes to forestry bill The Quebec government is renewing its promise to modify a forestry bill that has provoked blockades and growing tension in the province. Indigenous Affairs Minister Ian Lafrenière said Tuesday evening that the forestry reform bill must be amended to take into account the rights of First Nations. His social media statement came after a six-hour meeting with First Nations leaders and representatives of the forest industry. He and Natural Resources Minister Maïté Blanchette Vézina are expected to meet today with the Assembly of First Nations Quebec–Labrador and the office of Premier François Legault. Alberta flips on controversial disclosure policy Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government is again shifting its expense disclosure policy after critics from across the political spectrum accused her of dodging responsibility. In early August, the province quietly published new rules axing a requirement for Smith, her ministers, senior staff and deputy ministers to publicly post receipts for expenses over $100. Marisa Breeze, press secretary to Finance Minister Nate Horner, said in a Tuesday email that cabinet has directed Horner to see that the previous expense posting policy is reinstated -- but with a tweak. "Cabinet recognized the importance of an expense posting policy that achieves both security and transparency," she said. --- This report by The Canadian Press was first published AUg. 20, 2025 The Canadian Press
