Canada's connection with Beijing, the Demarais family

I dug into Power Corporation of Canada and found it holds $3.6 trillion in pensions, life insurance and mutual funds. The Desmarais family controls 52% of the voting power through the Desmarais Family Trust.

Their China connection dates back to 1978 when Pierre Elliott Trudeau sent Paul Desmarais to pitch trade to Beijing. That trip birthed the Canada-China Business Council, which the Desmarais family chaired for 48 years.

In 1986 Power Corp entered a joint-venture with state-owned CITIC, a Chinese government company. Today IGM Financial, owned by Power Corp, holds about 28% of China AMC, an asset manager valued at 3 trillion RMB (~$600 billion) and controlled by CITIC.

On Jan 7 2024 Jean Chrétien met Chinese government officials with André, France and Olivier Desmarais at the table with him.

Nine days later Mark Carney sat with Xi Jinping and a Canada-China Business Council gala, chaired by Olivier, announced a new strategic partnership.

The pattern repeats: prime ministers, finance ministers and campaign chiefs sat on Power Corp boards, sold companies to Desmarais, then ran Canada's China policy.

The numbers don't lie - $3.6 trillion, 52% vote, 28% China AMC stake, 48 years of influence.

Three whales rescued from Marineland have died

NIAGARA FALLS, CANADA (WKBW) — Three of the whales rescued from Marineland have died.

According to Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, a 23-year-old beluga died on Tuesday night due to dehydration. Then two more died on Wednesday night.

7 News has reached out to the aquarium. They said they are unsure if these deaths are related.

"These losses are hard, made more difficult by the fact that it will take time to get concrete answers about what led to their passings," a Shedd spokesperson said. "What remains clear is why the rescue was necessary: 30 belugas urgently needed help and had nowhere else to go. Shedd and accredited partners were asked to step in. Helping these animals in need is part of Shedd’s responsibility, and our commitment to these whales and their second chance remains unchanged. We appreciate the outpouring of support from so many others who are equally committed to animal welfare."

In September 2024, Marineland closed, but many animals never left, including 30 beluga whales.

After months of worries about euthanasia, a plan was finally approved by the Canadian Government to rehome them at aquariums across the US.

Sapporo to move some beer production from Canada to US after tariffs

Francisco Velasquez Business reporter, New York September 8, 2026

Japanese brewer Sapporo says it will move some beer production from Canada to the US after new tariffs on Canadian beer took effect on Tuesday.

The move follows the introduction of a 50% tariff on beer imported from Canada. For companies shipping beer across the border, that means significantly higher costs.

Chief strategy officer Rieko Shofu described tariffs as "something out of our control," telling Bloomberg that the beer giant would "move ahead with local production."

Sapporo did not immediately respond to the BBC's request for comment. The company plans to shift production of its non-alcoholic beer, currently made in Canada for US customers, to the US by the first half of 2027.

The US is one of Sapporo's most important overseas markets, and any shift south of the border will directly affect operations at its Canadian subsidiary, Sleeman Breweries.

To mitigate rising costs, the Japanese brewer is considering adding production capacity on the US West Coast. Options include building or buying a brewery, or partnering with a third-party manufacturer.

Sapporo has been building its presence in the US for years and says its flagship Sapporo brand is the country's best-selling Asian beer brand.

The company is also investing heavily outside Japan where a shrinking population has weighed on alcohol sales.

Sapporo plans to invest up to ¥400bn ($2.6bn) by 2030 as it seeks to expand overseas and boost profits. Around 30% of the capital is earmarked for overseas markets.

The brewer is also looking beyond North America. In July, it announced a partnership with Danish brewer Carlsberg to expand in Southeast Asia.

Sapporo's decision to move production comes as companies adapt to a growing number of tariffs worldwide.

In July, the US announced new tariffs on dozens of trading partners, including Canada, raising costs for businesses that rely on cross-border supply chains.

The move highlights how some companies are reconsidering where they make goods as trade barriers increase the cost of serving customers from overseas.

Goldman, Rystad See Room for $120 Oil if U.S.-Iran Conflict Continues

Published Sep 7, 2026 5:52 PM by The Maritime Executive

As commodity traders adapt to a forecast of prolonged uncertainty and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices are rising again - and analysts and Goldman see room to grow. Daab Struyven, who co-chairs commodities research at the investment bank, told Bloomberg TV on Monday that there could be a "meaningful upside to crude oil prices," which are already at their highest level in six weeks.

As of Monday, Brent futures were trading in the range of $97, up $10 from levels seen early last month. Despite concerted efforts by the GCC states and the United States to reinstate large-scale oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, traders remain cautious, especially after the exchange of fire over the weekend.

"Events over the last few days do suggest that the risk of shipping disruptions broadening and intensifying is an important one," Struyven said, adding that he sees room for Brent to run as high as $120 per barrel.

Iran says that a deal with Oman on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz could be released within days, but it has always conditioned such an arrangement on U.S. compliance with Iranian demands - first and foremost, a lifting of the naval blockade and sanctions regime on Iranian oil exports. Any technical agreement with the Omani government on partitioning control of the strait would take effect only after resolving the standoff with the Trump administration.

Jorge Leon, head of geopolitical analysis at Rystad, said that oil price fluctuations are very much driven by market expectations of tanker transit volume through the Strait of Hormuz. Rystad assesses that the U.S.-led effort recently averaged eight million barrels per day through the strait, but says that traffic has now come down sharply to about 4-5 million barrels per day.

In a worst-case scenario, if this situation persists for several months and there is no sign of a diplomatic agreement between the U.S. and Iran, Rystad sees potential room for Brent to reach $120, Leon confirmed.

A pending Omani-Iranian deal on joint management of the Strait of Hormuz could potentially make things worse, he cautioned. "What I'm more worried about is that this deal will probably enact fees through the Strait of Hormuz, and I doubt the U.S. will allow for that," he told Bloomberg. "It increases the risk for more escalation."

Iran's decision to announce an expanded "restricted zone" in the Gulf of Oman adds further pressure on shipping interests, increasing the risk that a vessel might end up on Tehran's blacklist of vessels targeted for attack. Coming soon, according to Iran Supreme National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaei, any ship that passes the U.S. Navy blockade line at the entrance to the Gulf of Oman could be blacklisted. This creates new ambiguity for shipowners about whether they can safely operate west of the line, even far away from the strait. The policy appears aimed at the STS transfer areas off Fujairah, where the covert "shuttle" tankers that run GCC oil around the strait hand off their cargo to foreign-flag tankers. If Iran could deter or attack this link in the shipping chain, it would materially slow the movement of Gulf crude to global markets.

Canada's cancelled oil pipeline projects

Reporting by Amanda Stephenson Reuters February 26, 2025

CALGARY, Feb 26 (Reuters) - The Canadian energy sector has proposed several major oil pipeline projects in the last decade, but only the Trans Mountain expansion project was completed.

Here, a look at three other pipelines that never came to be:

Energy East - A proposed C$15.7-billion project (US$11.0 billion), Energy East would have carried oil cross-country from Alberta to the Atlantic province of New Brunswick. It was cancelled in 2017 by TC Energy in the face of regulatory hurdles and opposition from environmental groups, particularly in Quebec.

Northern Gateway - This pipeline was proposed by Enbridge in 2006 to carry oil from Alberta to British Columbia's northwest coast. The C$7.9-billion project (US$5.5 billion) faced opposition from local and Indigenous communities who feared the risk of a marine spill. The project died in 2016 after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government cancelled its permits.

Keystone XL - This proposed TC Energy project would have carried oil from the oilsands of northern Alberta to the major U.S. crude storage hub at Cushing, Oklahoma and then on to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries. The project was rejected on environmental grounds by former U.S. President Barack Obama's administration, then revived during President Donald Trump's first administration. Former President Joe Biden revoked the pipeline's permit on his first day in office in 2021.

TC Energy spun off its oil pipeline business in October last year into a new company named South Bow Energy (SOBO.TO), opens new tab Trump said on Monday he wanted the pipeline built, but South Bow said it had moved on.

TC Energy has sought to recover more than US$15 billion from the U.S. government for cancellation of the project.

Five takeaways from Canada's push to woo the world's richest investors

Jessica Murphy Canada digital editor, Toronto 15September 2026

Prime Minister Mark Carney is pitching Canada as a "safe harbour" for some of the world's largest investors in an era of geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

Canada is "perfectly situated to build in the new global economic order", he told more than 100 major investors in Toronto.

The prime minister has pledged to bring in C$1tn ($720bn; £530bn) in investments in the ‌next ⁠five years as he seeks to reduce Canada's reliance on the US, and the summit he convened this week is a test of whether he can deliver on promises to strengthen economic resilience.

The stakes are high as the trade dispute with the US has pushed Canada to seek deeper economic partnerships with Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Here are five takeaways from the summit on Tuesday.

Carney offers data centres and pipelines

Carney said over the weekend that the summit was chance for the deep-pocketed financiers attending, representing more than C$120tn of assets, to "come to 'peer into our shop window'".

More than 160 projects were on offer, from data centres to pipelines and port expansions.

Ottawa also dangled a series of new tax incentives, including a "mega deduction" measure in front of potential buyers, and the prime minister underscored government efforts to offer faster approvals for big projects.

Economic analysts have said Canada needs to make significant policy changes to help attract investment, including more competitive tax and regulatory systems, and ensuring a supply of skilled labour.

Carney said Ottawa will now offer "predictability" for major proposed projects, with the goals of a one-year review timeline.

"If we're going to say no, a quick no is necessary," he said.

On Monday, he held bilateral ‌meetings with chief executives from major finance companies, like BlackRock's Larry Fink and Blackstone president Jon Gray.

Carney's new love-in with EU has everything to do with Trump

Airport privatisation ready for takeoff

One of the big announcements to come out of the summit was Carney's plan to allow private investment in four of Canada's main airports, in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary.

The prime minister said the plan would raise billions of dollars that could be reinvested in transport infrastructure, including smaller regional airports.

Many developed countries allow some degree of private investment in airports, but Canada has lagged behind and its airports operate through a not-for-profit governance model.

Under Carney's new proposal, the federal government will retain ownership of the underlying land and assets, but allow private investments into airport operations.

Labour unions have criticised the proposal, saying it will be bad for both workers and passengers.

"In the middle of a trade war, handing profitable public infrastructure over to private investors is exactly the wrong move," said Lily Chang, with the Canadian Labour Congress, in a statement.

But Nick Barry-Shaw, of the advocacy group Council of Canadians, said it was "a privatisation summit".

"This isn't ​nation building," he said. "This is country selling."

Canada is attractive for AI infrastructure

On Tuesday, the prime minister's office said the summit had generated nearly C$500bn in new investments across sectors like critical infrastructure, digital technology, energy and defence.

One sector that generated a lot of interest was AI infrastructure projects.

Canada has a cold climate, lots of space, and a "clean" energy grid, meaning there is space and capacity to build infrastructure like data centres, said Aidan Gomez, cofounder of AI firm Cohere.

Dave McKay, CEO of RBC, one of Canada's largest banks, told reporters there had been "a consistency of message" between the prime minister and executives, with all "pulling in the same direction".

Carney's olive branch to US

Former Goldman Sachs executive and central bank chief Carney's political career was built in part on a promise to take a tough stance on the US.

After trade talks suddenly collapsed last month, the two countries have imposed tit-for-tat tariffs and been embroiled in a war of words. There are no signs formal trade talks will resume anytime soon.

On Tuesday, new US tariffs came into effect on a number of Canadian goods while some others were lifted, and bans on goods like alcohol and motorcycles are due to be imposed next week.

But the prime minister made clear the relationship wasn't over, addressing the American executives in Toronto directly.

"To our American friends, let me say this. We will always be neighbours, and Canada will continue to be the US's most important partner in many key areas," he said.

"After all, even at times of disagreement during our long history, we have always maintained deep ties."

Meanwhile, protestors accused the Carney government of organising a "great Canadian sell-off" of public resources and infrastructure to corporate interests, and hundreds appeared outside the opening night gala at a downtown museum.

"Half the buyers that he has invited here to Toronto are American," said Kai Nagata, with advocacy group Dogwood, on Monday.

"Let's be clear, every piece of our country that we sell off to American billionaires brings us closer to becoming the 51st state."

The EU pivot

The prime minister heads to Europe next, where he will address the EU parliament and begin discussions "to build a unique security and economic alliance" with the bloc.

RBC's McKay said Canada will always be closely aligned with the US simply given its proximity, but there are opportunities overseas.

"I think this is an 'and'. We have to encourage our governments and encourage our leaders to look at opportunities to diversify trade and grow," he said.

"And I think for Canadians, it's been so easy to look south and build those supply chains. I think Canadians have woken to opportunities in Asia and in Europe."

EU chief backs plan for Canada to become 'associate member'

Amy Walker and Nick Beake, Europe correspondent 16 September 2026

The president of the European Commission has backed proposals for Canada to become the EU's first "associate member".

Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament on Wednesday she wanted to work on "opening the door" for Canada, which would involve closer ties on various key sectors.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney last week spoke of seeking a "unique alliance" with the EU. The country currently faces tense relations with the US, compounded by an intensifying dispute over trade.

Without mentioning US President Donald Trump by name, von der Leyen said offering Canada some sort of EU membership was "not a partnership against anyone else, but for our common strength".

She added: "Partnerships are a strategic choice for Europe. But they also respond to the fracture in the international rules-based system".

Carney was in attendance at the annual key note speech in Strasbourg, and is due to address the parliament on Thursday.

Trade talks between Canada and the US collapsed last month, sparking a series of new tariff measures. Trump's repeated talk of making Canada a "51st state" has also helped to fuel the feud between the North American neighbours.

Von der Leyen told the EU's State of the Union address that the bloc and Canada "see the world with the same eyes", including on topics ranging from AI, to climate change and geopolitics.

"And we have stood together: on Ukraine, on defence, on raw materials and on supply chains. But above all… Europe and Canada believe in democracy."

She did not give specific details on how any Canadian membership would work, but listed manufacturing, technology, AI, defence, energy, critical minerals and economic security as key areas for cooperation.

Both she and other European leaders have found a reliable ally in Carney as they deal with similar problems.

In particular, they have faced Trump's aggressive use of tariffs and his threat to annex Greenland which is a sovereign territory of EU member Denmark.

But "associate membership" of the EU does not currently exist and the process, if agreed, could take years.

Earlier this year, Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz suggested - to a mixed reaction - that Ukraine could be granted this new status.

Some countries in the western Balkans including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia are already on the long road towards full EU membership.

In Eastern Europe, Georgia and Moldova are also applying.

Ten of the bloc's 27 members are yet to ratify a free-trade agreement struck with Ottawa nearly a decade ago, and some capitals would prefer to build on existing defence and trade agreements rather than create a new form of membership for Canada.

Setting out the EU's political and policy priorities for year ahead, von der Leyen also proposed the formation of a European Security Council, which would include the UK and Ukraine, amid an ongoing threat to the continent from Russia.

"For a long time, we have discussed a leaders' format focused on the security of our continent, with partners like Canada, Norway, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and others involved," she said in the wide-ranging address.

"This is even more urgent now, given the nature and scale of the risks at play. This is why we will set out our ideas to make a European Security Council a reality."

Calls for such a body have been growing since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Alberta separatism, NDP's vision for province among reasons cited for Calgary byelection flip

MLA-elect Kyle Campbell won typically conservative Calgary-Shaw riding in byelection

Andrew Jeffrey · CBC News · Sep 15, 2026

After flipping a typically conservative blue stronghold in south Calgary to NDP orange, MLA-elect Kyle Campbell attributed the result to voters trusting his party's vision on bread-and-butter election issues.

But some conservative voices are tying the UCP's loss to the upcoming referendum question on Alberta independence.

Campbell won a close race Monday to represent Calgary-Shaw in the Alberta legislature. He received roughly 47 per cent of the vote, finishing just under 600 votes ahead of the UCP's Mike Derry, according to unofficial results from Elections Alberta.

While door-knocking in the area, Campbell said he heard from longtime conservatives who said they couldn't support the UCP because of their focus on the upcoming referendum. He added that most voters were more concerned about issues like health care access, overcrowded schools or the rising cost of living, which he argued the UCP have not improved enough since taking power in 2019.

Alberta NDP flies the anti-separatist flag to steal a UCP riding in Calgary

“People could just look back at the last seven years and understand where the promises deviate from the action, and I think it’s being felt so acutely right now,” said Campbell.

“Albertans want leaders who will stand up for Canada, and focus on the challenges families are facing here at home.”

Carney wants to trade with broke Europe instead of trucks and pipelines

Shipping’s New Normal: Slower Trade, Higher Costs, Bigger Profits

Lori Ann LaRocco September 18, 2026

By Lori-Ann LaRocco – It’s a good time to be an ocean carrier or tanker owner. The slower trade caused by bottlenecks stemming from the U.S. war with Iran, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and the Panama Canal’s El Niño water-mitigation measures has fueled soaring tanker profits and the never-ending surcharges imposed by ocean carriers.

“Disruption is no longer the exception,” said Richard Meade, editor-in-chief of Lloyd’s List. “It is becoming the business model over the past week. Shipping’s strongest markets are increasingly being shaped not by economics alone, but by geopolitics, security, and strategic uncertainty.”

Cashing in on uncertainty is nothing new in maritime. We have seen soaring profits during previous disruptions. They get larger with each disruption.

The $1.10 million per day for a VLCC on the Saudi Arabia/Arabian Gulf-to-China route on September 15 is just one example.

“VLCC earnings approaching a million dollars today were almost unthinkable not so long ago,” said Meade. “Yet a combination of business disruption, long-term crew trades, and tightened vessel availability has quickly shown how geopolitics can overwhelm traditional market fundamentals concepts as outdated as supply and demand.”

Lloyd’s List senior reporter Greg Miller explained during the company’s weekly webinar that this tanker cycle far exceeds the shipping supercycle of the 2000s.

“What’s happening now has gone way, way beyond that,” Miller said. “It’s far beyond anything in the history of tankers. The only thing that’s even comparable now to what’s happening in tankers in the modern history of shipping is the profits for container lines during COVID.”

The new normal for trade is slower and more expensive. You can thank Mother Nature and man for creating this pricey cycle.

The U.S. war with Iran and the global refinery-capacity shortage resulting from the war, along with Russia’s war in Ukraine, are taking a toll on refined products, let alone overall crude supplies.

The refinery issue is coming to a head, and it will only get worse. Wait until heating bills arrive for Americans who heat with fuel oil and propane. With $10 diesel, the price of fresh vegetables and fruit will go up again for sure.

Some 70,000 products are made with petro-based chemicals. These raw materials are in everything from paint and clothing to the coolant used in data centers.

Customers across all industries — industrial, food, paints, energy, and personal care — are ordering smaller quantities with shorter lead times because they don’t want to get stuck buying high-cost inventory before a price drop. They are also factoring in sky-high delivery costs because of diesel prices.

“This is difficult for chemical distributors because we all have the same concerns: how much inventory should we buy? Will prices drop? Will we get stuck when that happens? But if we don’t have stock, we can’t sell it,” said the chemical manufacturer.

These concerns aren’t on the radar for tankers moving black gold or carriers moving containers. It’s about moving the trade at any cost, as long as shippers keep paying. And boy, do they pay.

Xeneta’s analysis of ocean carrier surcharges this year shows how quickly carriers slapped surcharges on shippers. Emergency fuel surcharges came first, followed by inland and intermodal leg charges. Then came the “peak season” surcharges. When the war with Iran intensified in late July, another emergency fuel surcharge was deployed.

“Three surcharge waves in six months: volatility is now being invoiced,” wrote Emily Stausboll, senior analyst at Xeneta.

So, with no end in sight, shippers can expect to buckle up for more charges and fees. Investors in ocean carriers and tankers hope the companies use these record profits wisely.

Bank of England and People’s Bank of China to Sign Yuan Clearing Deal

Catherine Matacic March 28, 2014

Britain and China have agreed to sign a memorandum next week that may turn London into the home of the first yuan clearing center outside of Asia. This new clearing center will allow London to settle yuan-denominated interbank payments, loans, trades in goods and services, and other transactions.

The new London clearing center will offer a second location for yuan-denominated transactions, which are all currently cleared and processed through Hong Kong. According to Britain’s Finance Ministry, London currently accounts for 62 percent of yuan trading that takes place outside of China, a 54 percent increase from January 2013. For the first half of 2013, London’s average daily turnover of yuan-denominated foreign exchange products totaled $15.6 billion.

Over the past year, Britain’s Finance Minister George Osborne has focused heavily on improving the financial relationship between Britain and China while also seeking to make London the top destination for trading in Chinese currency.

Osborne traveled to China in October 2013 to discuss the possibility of a clearing and settlement bank while also working out several other financial arrangements. The arrangements included initiating direct renminbi-sterling trading in Shanghai, allowing Chinese banks to set up branches in London, and allowing UK-based institutions to invest up to $13.57 billion in Chinese bonds or stocks through the Renminbi Qualified Financial Institution Investor Program. Britain and France are currently the only Western countries that may use Chinese currency to invest in Chinese stocks, bonds, and money market instruments through this program.

Chinese investors are also enjoying greater investment opportunities in London. In January of this year, the Bank of China issued a 2.5 billion renminbi bond on the London Stock Exchange’s professional securities market. In February, GF Financial Markets became the second Chinese member of the London Stock Exchange.

Osborne and British Prime Minister David Cameron are also competing with Germany and Luxembourg to become the top European destination for yuan trading. According to Bloomberg, Germany’s Bundesbank and the People’s Bank of China are also set to sign a memorandum that will allow for yuan clearing and the settlement of yuan trades in Frankfurt, Germany.

Hamilton steel plant to lay off hundreds of workers as U.S. tariffs prompt 'survival' move

Canadian steel imports to U.S. face up to 50% tariffs

Jeff Lagerquist · CBC News · Posted: Sep 28, 2026

Stelco Holdings Inc. said on Monday that it plans to idle part of its Hamilton plant in order to "ensure the survival" of the company, as U.S. tariffs squeeze its sales.

Stelco said the decision will impact up to 500 employees.

In a memo obtained by CBC News on Monday, the company said it will indefinitely idle its cold-rolled and coated operations at its Hamilton Works plant, with operations set to begin winding down on Oct. 9.

Ron Wells, president of United Steelworkers Local 1005, estimates 350 steelworkers will be laid off. He says he was briefed on the situation in a meeting with the company on Monday morning.

"Obviously, we got to meet with the company, and find out who's getting laid off, [and] make sure it's done by seniority," Wells told CBC News on Monday. "Christmas ain't that far away, and we have no idea the duration of these layoffs … People are concerned. I don't blame them."

The company said this will not impact its ability to supply hot-rolled steel products.

"This is an unfortunate but necessary action to help ensure the survival of Stelco in what has become a challenging and unsustainable market for cold-rolled and coated products caused by the ongoing and sustained trade disruptions impacting the Canadian steel industry," Stelco vice-president of sales Frederic Fafard stated in the memo.

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in June applying up to 50 per cent tariffs to certain steel and aluminum imports from Canada.

"Stelco’s market for cold-rolled and galvanized products has contracted significantly, while import penetration for these products remains at heightened levels," Fafard said in the memo.

"While the measures taken by the federal government in Canada have served to reduce imports into Canada overall, import volumes remain at levels that prevent Stelco from being able to bridge the gap in the market created by the trade crisis."

Ohio-based Cleveland-Cliffs acquired Hamilton-based Stelco in a $3.4-billion Cdn cash-and-stock deal that closed in November 2024. In a news release announcing the deal, Stelco's then-CEO Alan Kestenbaum stated the transaction "keeps national interests at the forefront and recognizes the importance of the workforce."

"We're very disappointed," Wells said. "In particular, when Cliffs bought us in the fall of 2024, they made commitments. One of those commitments was to maintain the same number of unionized employees."

In an email to CBC News on Monday, a Cleveland-Cliffs spokesperson said while Stelco is idling some of its operations in Hamilton, the company's total output of steel will not be impacted as it consolidates production at its Lake Erie Works.

"Very importantly, job opportunities at Lake Erie Works will be offered to Hamilton employees," Pat Persico, the company's senior director of corporate communications stated.

"We expect that a significant number of employees affected by the indefinite idle at Hamilton should be absorbed at Lake Erie Works."

Industry Minister 'extremely disappointed'

In a statement on Monday, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly slammed the decision to lay off workers, while noting Ottawa had offered to help Stelco weather the impact of U.S. tariffs.

"Our government has made clear to the company that we are ready and willing to provide financial support to sustain operations and protect jobs. Its decision to reject these practical proposals and continue with layoffs is extremely disappointing," she said.

"Stelco and Cleveland-Cliffs have made significant commitments to Canadian steelworkers. We will use every lever possible to defend Canadian industry, protect jobs, and secure our supply chain."

"The Reality on the Ground Is Bleak" | Canada's Decline Is Worse Than Anyone Admit

An Edmonton polling station will remain open until 10 p.m. because of an earlier delay

By Stephanie Taylor Ottawa Bureau Oct. 19, 2026

While polling stations will close at 8 p.m., Elections Alberta says one in Edmonton will be staying open until 10 p.m.

A spokesperson told the Star that a polling station at Westminster School, located in Edmonton’s Glenora neighbourhood, opened as scheduled at 9 a.m.,but then had to close after workers discovered the need to reconfigure it.

That polling station reopened at 12 p.m. MT. As a result of the delay, it will remain open until 10 p.m.

Elections Alberta has previously said its “results website cannot be published until all voting locations in the province are confirmed closed.”

That means results would not start to be reported until after the closure of that 10 p.m. location.

Elections Alberta has said, however, it would begin counting the massive number of advanced and mail-in ballots it received beginning at 5 p.m.

Seaspan Lays the Keel for Canada's Biggest Domestically-Built Icebreaker

By The Maritime Executive 2026-10-16 22:52:39

Seaspan's Vancouver Shipyards has carried out the keel-laying ceremony for the Canadian Coast Guard's next polar icebreaker, the future CCGS Imnaryuaq.It has been 15 years since the initial contract was awarded for Imnaryuaq,and the long-awaited vessel is now formally under way towards completion. Delivery is expected in 2032.

At 520 feet long and 26,000 tonnes displacement, Imnaryuaq will be the largest icebreaker ever built in Canada. The ship will be constructed to Polar Class 2 standards for service in up to 10 feet of ice, with extra strengthening for severe duty in the High Arctic. With room for a science complement of up to 40 people, the vessel is ready for research missions as well as sovereign presence and SAR operations.

"Today’s keel laying is an important step forward in the renewal of the Canadian Coast Guard fleet," said CCG Commissioner Kevin Brosseau in a statement. "The CCGS Imnaryuaq, named to honor Inuit placenames and culture, will be a world-class icebreaker that will protect Arctic sovereignty and serve Canadians and communities across Inuit Nunangat for generations to come."

Imnaryuaq was initially scheduled to deliver in 2017, but construction was pushed back to make room for the Royal Canadian Navy's two Protecteur-class naval auxiliaries. Both are nearing completion at Seaspan and delivery is expected in the next several years.

Canadian leaders also opted to buy another polar icebreaker from a different shipbuilder. Davie's Helsinki Shipyard is currently building the second vessel to a different design. The Helsinki Shipyard / Davie hull is slightly smaller, and is scheduled for delivery in 2030. Davie's vessel will cost US$2.3 billion, and Seaspan's CCGS Imnaryuaq is expected to cost US$3 billion.

Seaspan has constructed multiple ice-classed vessels for the CCG already as part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy, and is also building 16 smaller multipurpose icebreakers for the Canadian Coast Guard.
