Carney meets Japan's 'Iron Lady' and tests out his rusty Japanese skills
TOKYO — Prime Minister Mark Carney, on an ongoing mission to bring together the world’s middle powers, brought out his rusty Japanese skills as he met his counterpart and enjoyed a Canadian-inspired birthday cake in Tokyo. “I’m not finished yet,” Carney said with a laugh after speaking the first few Japanese words in this speech. It appeared to take Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi by surprise and she let out a big smile and began to clap. Upon their arrival in Japan, Carney and his wife, Diana Fox Carney, were greeted by local officials before Carney arrived at Kantei, the Japanese prime minister’s office. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese celebrated turning 63 just before Carney arrived for his first bilateral visit by a Canadian prime minister in almost two decades.

Why Quebec wants to protect the cheese curds it claims are necessary to make 'original' poutine
Quebec is moving forward with plans to shield its poutine cheese curds with protected geographical status. To obtain the PGI, all production stages — from raw materials to final packaging — must occur in Quebec. The PGI will safeguard what the CILQ considers the unique qualities of the province’s fresh cheese curds, such as its meltability and heat resistance. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementHe says the designation will also help promote Quebec cheese curds internationally at a time when poutine is becoming increasingly popular outside the province’s borders. “(W)e want to be able to tell outside consumers that if you want the original (poutine), you need Quebec cheese curds with the reserved designation seal,” he said.

Canada's top general weighing military options to support Gulf states in Iran conflict
OTTAWA — Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan said she will be meeting with her European counterparts on Friday morning to discuss military options to support Gulf states. But Carignan ruled out any Canadian military involvement in Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. “So, any type of military platforms (we) would send in those conditions, would have to be equipped or protected with other types of systems. Since Israel and the U.S. began Operation Epic Fury against the Iranian regime on Saturday, several Gulf states including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have been hit by Iranian missile and drone strikes. “Therefore any states being attacked can take defensive measures to self defence,” she said.
