Speaker Johnson Warns of Record-Breaking U.S. Government Shutdown

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., praises President Donald Trump's peacemaking efforts leading to a ceasefire pausing two years of war in the Gaza Strip, at the Capitol in Washington, Monday, Oct. 13, 2025.  House Speaker Mike Johnson has cautioned that the ongoing U.S. government shutdown could become the longest in the nation’s history, as the political standoff between Republicans and Democrats shows no signs of easing.

Canada’s Solar Eclipse: A Celestial Spectacle

On April 8, 2024, a remarkable and rare celestial event will unfold over Canada, the United States, and Mexico—a total solar eclipse. As the Moon aligns perfectly between Earth and the Sun, temporary darkness will sweep across parts of our country, captivating countless spectators.

In Canada, the solar eclipse’s path of totality will pass through several cities and towns in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland. During those precious minutes, lucky observers within this path will experience complete darkness as the Moon completely obscures the Sun. For those outside the path of totality, a partial solar eclipse will still be visible, with the Sun partially hidden.

Remember that looking directly at the Sun during an eclipse can lead to serious eye damage. Always use appropriate eye protection when witnessing this awe-inspiring event. The last total solar eclipse visible in Quebec was over 50 years ago (in 1972), and the next one won’t occur until 2106. So mark your calendars and prepare to witness this once-in-a-generation phenomenon!
