  "account": "Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand is scheduled to deliver Canada's speech at the United Nations General Assembly today. Her address will encompass issues such as support for Ukraine, the Middle East, and Arctic sovereignty. Additionally, Anand's speech will also address the middle-power strategy outlined by Prime Minister Mark Carney at the beginning of the year. Anand revealed on Friday that Canada does not shy away from challenging conversations, emphasizing that avoiding uncomfortable topics is not an effective diplomatic approach. She will be taking the podium in place of Prime Minister Carney, who was present in Canada from Monday to Wednesday but was unable to deliver the speech due to scheduling constraints. Anand is set to speak around 5 p.m. local time, following the addresses by her counterparts from Oman and Tunisia. This report by The Canadian Press was originally published on September 26, 2026.",
