"Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Halifax, where sources anticipate a defence update that includes submarine plans.
Carney is scheduled to tour a Canadian Armed Forces base at 4:50 p.m. Monday [ie. 5.50am Tuesday July 7 Sydney time] according to his public itinerary. He is set to make an announcement around 5:10 p.m. [ie. 6.10am Tuesday July 7 Sydney time - good time to watch the World Cup beforehand :-]
His office said the measures will focus on making Canada more secure, more resilient and more prosperous.
Multiple government and industry sources stated that Carney is expected to outline the next phase of Canada’s project to acquire a new fleet of submarines.
The itinerary shows Carney will depart Halifax at 5:50 p.m. [6.50am Tuesday July 7 Sydney time] for [the NATO Summit in Ankara] Turkiye."

Hi Pete,
I just saw an article claiming TKMS wins, but the source was "not authorized to speak in public", so I think this article is slightly better than speculative.

The article https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-submarine-contract-germany-tkms/ may indeed be "speculative" otherwise it would be a major leak/scoop.
Also https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-submarine-contract-germany-tkms/ is PayWalled for non-Canadians like me - so it may be an attempt to boost paying customers with an article of little merit.
Cheers Pete

BTW - I wonder if China's PLAN just tested a JL-2 or JL-3 SLBM in the Pacific Ocean?
The US and UK test Trident 2 SLBMs in the Atlantic with little/no criticism from Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-06/china-test-ballistic-missile-south-pacific/106885076
Hi Pete,
It's starting to propagate across Canadian media. CTV quotes "industry sources":

Hi Shawn at 7/07/2026 12:14 AM
You were clearly correct identifying "CTV quotes "industry sources": https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/canada-chooses-german-company-to-build-new-submarine-fleet-sources/ "
Pete Comment: It looks like the "industry sources" were de facto authorised by the Carney Government to leak the NATO angle information.
I've continued the discussion with my "I predicted Germany's TKMS Type 212CD Would Win Canadian Order: Why?" of July 7, 2026 at https://gentleseas.blogspot.com/2026/07/i-predicted-germanys-tkms-type-212cd.html
Cheers Pete
