- Prime Minister Mark Carney joined Quebec Premier Christine Frechette and Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Tony Wakeham in St. John’s, N.L. Monday, to announce a non-binding deal on the Churchill Falls project.
The deal comes after years of negotiations and an independent review, with Hydro-Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro jointly owning the Churchill Falls generating station, under a contract signed in 1969.
The provinces had reached a framework agreement in 2024 to end that deal and create a new energy-sharing arrangement with expanded generating capacity. But after Wakeham was elected last fall, he ordered a review of the deal, restarting negotiations.
“We are finally turning the page on one of the darkest chapters in our past and replacing both the notorious August 1969 Churchill Falls Agreement and the 2024 MOU, with a better deal for all of us,” said Wakeham.
Under the new agreement, Quebec would have a guara...

Alberta resident Christine Orme visited Service Alberta on Aug. 7th, to try and renew her driver’s licence.
She brought various types of identification, including her old licence, health card, birth certificate, and old passport, but Orme said it wasn’t enough.
“They said because my former married name was on my current birth certificate, I needed to produce my original marriage certificate,” Orme said.
Service Alberta is warning drivers to check their documents ahead of time to avoid the same problem.

- Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty on Friday to federal stalking charges in the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione, 28, entered the plea at a hastily scheduled hearing in Manhattan federal court, resolving one of two cases against him in connection with Thompson’s death. With this guilty plea, his lawyers could seek to have the state case thrown out on double jeopardy grounds.

- Grifols is temporarily pausing plasma collections across Canada as it works with Health Canada and Canadian Blood Services on how to move forward.
The decision comes after Health Canada identified several compliance concerns at the company’s Taylor Avenue site in Winnipeg and issued a non compliance rating.
The company also faced scrutiny after two people died shortly after donating plasma at its Winnipeg facilities earlier this year, though investigations found no link between the deaths and the donation process.
As Matthew Merkel reports, Health Canada says the temporary closures will have no impact on the safety or security of Canada’s blood supply.

- Iran's state media mocked U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday, after new details emerged about his secret aircraft switch during a visit to Turkey, saying it showed just how nervous he is about the Islamic Republic's power.
A threat that the Air Force One plane could be targeted by a shoulder-fired missile prompted the Secret Service to secretly move Trump onto a smaller government jet, a person briefed on the matter said.
The threat emerged on the final day of Trump's visit to Ankara for the NATO summit, the source said, as tensions run high due to the ongoing U.S. war on Iran.
"He will be hidden in a trash can before long," a post on X from the Iran Embassy in Saudi Arabia read.
Tehran has not officially commented on the allegations or on the airplane switch.

Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports mean farmers can't ship grain, and Ukraine supplies about six per cent of the world's grain and 11 per cent of the world's corn. Farmers are worried they can't get paid.
As Nathaniel Dove reports, the Russian strikes may now be exposing a new vulnerability.

- Israeli settlers have besieged several homes in the occupied West Bank, including one owned by a Palestinian American, who fears for his family’s lives.
“We need protection. We need to live freely now in our own house,” says Loudi Ridi, who lives in Ohio, but owns a home besieged by the Israeli settlers.
Residents trapped in their homes by the settlers are beginning to run out of food and water, with some relying on old wells that are not safe for drinking.
Ruqaya Hassan, a Palestinian whose home was besieged says they “have been subjected to daily attacks… during the day and night,” adding that her “daughters were overcome with fear and panic due to the settlers.”
Roadblocks made by Israeli settlers are preventing families from leaving safely.

- Premier Doug Ford responded Thursday to reports Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives spent $3,000 to surveil Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie while on a trip to Jamaica, saying he wasn’t aware until recently and that he “doesn’t approve” of the party’s actions.
“I don’t watch every single dollar when I’m in the middle of a campaign,” Ford said when asked about the report.
The premier emphasized that the $3,000 had come from the party’s own coffers.
“He will do anything to stop someone he doesn't like,” said Ontario Liberal MPP Stephanie Smyth said of Ford. She said she finds it “really hard to believe” after Ford said he knew nothing about it.
“If it wasn’t you premier, who was it? Who authorized this, who is responsible for the spending, who is directing the operation, did you see a report on this premier?” Smyth asked.
