[Opening note — two or three sentences on the week’s defining theme or the thread connecting the major stories. This is synthesis, not a recap: tell readers what to make of the week, not just what happened in it.]
Security
[Key defence, alliance, or geopolitical developments with a Canadian angle. Two to four short paragraphs or bullets covering the most significant items — NATO, NORAD, the Indo-Pacific, intelligence, or Canada–U.S. defence.]
Trade
[Trade flows, negotiations, sanctions, or economic-diplomacy developments. Lead with whatever carries the most weight for Canadian exporters or supply chains this week.]
Migration
[Immigration policy, visa decisions, international-student or refugee developments, and anything touching Canada’s mobility relationships abroad.]
Development
[Aid announcements, humanitarian situations, and multilateral decisions — what Canada pledged, paid, or withheld, and where the need is greatest.]
Environment
[Climate negotiations, clean technology, biodiversity, or energy-transition news with an international dimension for Canada.]
Arctic
[Northern sovereignty, Indigenous diplomacy, or circumpolar-governance updates — including any developments in surveillance, infrastructure, or Arctic Council business.]
