Canada-Europe defence ties can link ‘club of countries, with shitty armies and shitty governments’ says German envoy

If Canada decides to buy submarines from Germany, it would mean tightening ties with a “club of countries” in Europe as it looks to meet NATO defence spending goals and face an uncertain world, Germany’s ambassador says.

Matthias Lüttenberg, Germany’s ambassador to Canada, sat down with The West Block‘s Mercedes Stephenson in an interview airing on Sunday and emphasized the value of working more closely together.

“It’s up to the Canadian government to decide which direction they want to go,” said Lüttenberg.
