Excerpts from the article:\n\n>\"That's your assessment,\" \\[Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly\\] said. \"We believe in the international rules-based order where rules must be followed, and, you know, small and big countries have the same rules that they have to follow.\" \n> \n>The suggestion that hard power is somehow an affront to the \"international rules based order\" — that jargony mouthful governments (especially Canada's) like to invoke — speaks volumes. \n> \n>\\[...\\] \n> \n>Joly's answer also indirectly peels back the curtain (somewhat) on what several sources within Global Affairs Canada say was at the root of the delayed delivery of the country's long-awaited Indo-Pacific strategy. \n> \n>The federal government was looking for a way — any way — to avoid making the Canadian military the county's calling card in a region where allies were clamouring for a more visible defence commitment, defence and foreign affairs sources told CBC News. \n> \n>When it was released in late 2022, the Indo-Pacific strategy bowed awkwardly toward realpolitik with a significant military component, which included a boost to Canada's naval presence and military participation in the region. \n> \n>But even when confronted with the brutal reality of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Canada's government tends to tilt away from expressions of hard power. \n> \n>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a think-tank in Berlin in March of 2022 that he believed Moscow's war machine could be brought to its knees solely through the use of sanctions — as though soft power could somehow stop a Russian tank. \n> \n>He told the non-profit association Atlantik-Brücke at the Munich Security Conference that since the Second World War, the international community had developed \"more and better tools\" to deal with international aggression — a reference to economic sanctions, which Trudeau said can be far more effective than \"tanks and missiles.\" \n> \n>Appearing last spring on a panel at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, Defence Minister Bill Blair offered a broader glimpse of how widespread this skepticism about hard power is within the federal government. He told the audience that meeting the NATO spending benchmark has been a tough sell at the cabinet table. \n> \n>\"Trying to go to cabinet, or even to Canadians, and tell them that we had to do this because we need to meet this magical threshold of two per cent — don't get me wrong, it's important, but it was really hard to convince people that that was a worthy goal, that that was some noble standard that we had to meet,\" he said.\n\nAnd there's an interesting case study regarding artillery production. Earlier this year there was a story on [CBC](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ukraine-munitions-canada-artillery-1.7118004) regarding the Trudeau gov't hesitation to invest in artillery shell production.\n\nTheir hesitation stemming from their belief that there is no long term use for artillery shells in the future, and the hefty $400 million dollar investment was seen as an economic boondoggle.\n\nAdmittedly they would later invest [$4 million](https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/canada-invest-technologies-boost-155mm-artillery-production-2024-03-07/) into artillery production, but that's in the face of depleted stocks in Canada and Trudeau's apparent resolve to supply Ukraine; the PM feels quite strongly about Ukraine, enough to shout \"Slava Ukraini\" in the Switzerland peace summit.\n\nYet despite that resolve butter wins out on guns by a large margin. For reference the planned Pharmacare and Dental Care plans pushed by Trudeau costs [$11.2 billion](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pharmacare-pbo-report-1.6993741) and [$4.4 billion](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-dental-care-plan-benefit-1.7055975) respectively.", "metadata": { "author": "IHateTrains123", "controversiality": 0, "created_utc": 1720538693, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": true, "no_follow": false, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 66, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 66 }, "role": "user" }, { "content": "I mean, this kind of comes across as one of two ways.

The NWF, which Reeves said would be established “in less than a week”, is designed to help projects such as ports, gigafactories, hydrogen and steel projects attract a mix of investment, aiming for roughly £3 of private funds for every £1 of taxpayer cash. Reeves told reporters that the fund would essentially operate as a “concierge service for investors and businesses that want to invest in Britain, so they know where to go”. The investments will then be managed by the existing UK Infrastructure Bank, headed by ex-HSBC chief executive John Flint, with support from a revamped British Business Bank, best known for running the Covid business loan schemes.\n\n> Reeves made the announcement at No 11 Downing Street on Tuesday, after meeting with top City bosses who made up specialised taskforce spearheading the project. Participants included the Aviva chief executive, Amanda Blanc; the NatWest chief executive, Paul Thwaite; the Barclays chief executive, CS Venkatakrishnan; and the former Bank of England governor Mark Carney. Labour has been crafting the NWF for months, having appointed the taskforce back in March to start thrashing out exactly how it would deliver what became a core manifesto pledge for the party in the run-up to last week’s election.\n\n> Reeves said the new Labour government was in a prime position to attract investment, amid ongoing political uncertainty in other major western economies. That includes the US, where Donald Trump is due to challenge an under-fire Joe Biden in the November presidential elections, and France, where elections resulted in a hung parliament. “I think for the first time in a long time, investors will look at Britain and say it’s a country with a stable government. It’s got a clear plan, but clear mandate in the election. And that’s different from some other countries around the world today,” Reeves told journalists. The NWF will soon be established formally in UK law, making it a “permanent institution at the heart of the country’s long-term growth and prosperity”, the Treasury explained. Further detail will be set out before an international investment summit to be hosted by the chancellor later this year.\n\n> The announcement came after Jonathan Reynolds, the new business and trade secretary, hosted a call with more than 170 senior leaders from businesses and trade associations around the UK on Tuesday morning. He set out his four key priorities, according to a departmental source: delivering an industrial strategy, which will be the cornerstone of the government’s growth mission; supporting small businesses, described as the “beating heart” of our high streets, communities and economy; resetting trade relations and championing British exports; and making work pay.\n\n> Reynolds told business leaders that decarbonisation did not mean deindustrialisation. He is aware that a key challenge for businesses is connectivity and the grid, and promised a cross-government focus on tackling this. Sarah Jones’s joint role with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, as minister for industry and decarbonisation, will be part of delivering on this agenda. Business leaders asked about streamlining their engagement with Whitehall, opportunities to increase exports, and the importance of digitalisation. Reynolds promised to be “the most accessible” business secretary, with an email address coming shortly to “tell Jonathan”.\n\n!ping UK&ECO", "metadata": { "author": "ldn6", "controversiality": 0, "created_utc": 1720536618, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": true, "no_follow": false, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 40, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 40 }, "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "> Reeves told reporters that the fund would essentially operate as a “concierge service for investors and businesses that want to invest in Britain, so they know where to go”.\n\nPublic infrastructure, sure.
