> [OTTAWA, July 5 (Reuters) – Canada became the first country to formally ratify Finland and Sweden’s accession to NATO](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/canada-swiftly-ratifies-protocol-finland-sweden-join-nato-2022-07-05/) in an accelerated process completed shortly after member nations signed off on the nuclear-armed alliance’s expansion on Tuesday.

> The accession protocol needs to be ratified by the parliaments of all 30 North Atlantic Treaty Organization members before Finland and Sweden can be protected by the NATO defense clause – that an attack on one member is an attack against all

**Oh, Canada?**
