CANZUK — the budding idea of an agreement (of some kind) between Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain around some combination of cultural, economic and military affairs — is an interesting anomaly. International relations experts generally dismiss the concept, not least because it clearly echoes the Victorian ethos encapsulated by the “Anglosphere.” Problematic, too, is the gravity model of international trade, which holds that wide geographic distances impede deep economic ties.

It is increasingly difficult for countries like Canada to exert influence on the world. CANZUK seems to offer a way to make that possible again.

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) continues to produce soldiers, sailors and airmen and women of the highest calibre globally. This hasn't changed throughout the years. We must keep the focus on the positives as the foundation on how to provide solutions for any veteran issues we have.

In order to do that, we must understand the future focus of the NZDF and celebrate our country, our defence force and its people, because we continue to punch above our weight globally, in and out of the uniform.
