Join our APF Canada discussion featuring Vice-Admiral (VAdm) Angus Topshee, 38th Commander of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN). This in-person event will explore Canada's critical maritime challenges and strategic imperatives in the 21st century.
Against the backdrop of increasing global geopolitical tensions and mounting international pressure to bolster defence capabilities, VAdm Topshee will provide insights into how Canada is responding to calls for increased military spending and a more meaningful maritime presence.
Drawing from Canada’s recent Defence Policy Update and Ottawa’s Indo-Pacific Strategy, the Vice-Admiral will examine the strategic challenges facing Canada, particularly in the Arctic and Indo-Pacific regions. With NATO allies and global partners emphasizing the need for robust maritime defence, this event offers a timely and critical look at Canada's naval capabilities, the pressures to expand its military role on the world stage, and an evolving geopolitical landscape that demands a more proactive approach to national and collective security.
