Jody Wilson-Raybould says she's starting treatment for cancer
Former federal justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says she will be starting treatment for breast cancer. In a post on social media, Wilson-Raybould said the treatment comes following recent surgery. "While this is scary and unsettling, I take strength from the many of you who have shared your stories of resilience & healing with me over the years," Wilson-Raybould said. In her post, Wilson-Raybould encourages people to get regular mammograms and get tested for other cancers and illnesses. Wilson-Raybould spent three years in then-prime minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal cabinet before she resigned and was re-elected to her Vancouver riding as an Independent in 2019.

2026 will likely be among the hottest on record: Environment Canada
Environment and Climate Change Canada forecasts that 2026 will likely be among the four hottest years on record. According to a brief analysis of global temperatures posted on ClimateData.ca last week, scientists are "virtually certain" that 2026 will be among the hottest years ever recorded. "The unprecedented global temperatures over the last few years can be partly attributed to the strong El Niño event in 2023-2024, compounded by ongoing human-induced global warming," the analysis states. The IPCC is the leading international body for the scientific assessment of climate change. Environment and Climate Change Canada is not the only ones predicting another hot year.

Toronto Star: Their loved ones died waiting for Canada to let them in. Now they’re pleading on behalf of others from Sudan
STATEMENT BY MP JENNY KWAN: Implementation of Canada's Foreign Interference Law Misses the MarkCanada has faced an unprecedented and growing threat from foreign interference. The Hogue Commission has identified China and India as the most aggressive and sophisticated foreign interference actors targeting Canada’s democratic institutions. Political party leaders still have not been properly consulted with the appointment of the Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner as required by law. These political decisions send a dangerous message that tackling foreign interference is not taken seriously and not a priority for the Federal government. Foreign interference is a real and ongoing threat to Canada particularly at a time when Canada is opening up trade relationships internationally.

Adam Zivo: Carney doesn't care how dangerous China really is
However volatile the United States may be these days, pursuing a “comprehensive strategic partnership” with Beijing as a counterbalance is myopic and reckless. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementTrump has erratically bullied traditional American allies, often with damaging trade tariffs, and repeatedly claimed that the United States should absorb Canada and Greenland. In this context, any prime minister would be duty-bound to reduce Canada’s economic and political dependency on the United States, even if that means working with repressive regimes. So the problem, ultimately, isn’t that Beijing is an immoral partner, but that it is an unreliable and dangerous one. Perhaps Carney’s team believes that, for all its faults, China could nonetheless become a better partner than the United States — but this is a silly idea.
