Ottawa and Alberta Forge Landmark Energy Accord

Prime Minister Mark Carney, left, meets with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in Calgary on Thursday.   In a move that could redefine Canada’s energy landscape, Ottawa and Alberta have signed a new energy deal aimed at strengthening cooperation between the federal government and the province. The agreement signals a major shift in their often-contentious relationship, focusing on shared priorities such as clean energy investment, emissions reduction, and economic growth. The deal outlines commitments to expand renewable energy projects, modernize infrastructure, and support workers transitioning from traditional oil and gas sectors. Both sides emphasized that the accord is designed to balance Alberta’s economic reliance on energy production with Ottawa’s national climate goals. Observers note that this agreement could mark the beginning of a more collaborative era, reducing political friction and positioning Canada as a stronger player in the global energy transition.

Gaza Ceasefire Talks Resume Amidst Grim Milestone: Over 40,000 Palestinians Killed

 

In a desperate bid to end the devastating conflict, negotiators from Israel and Hamas have resumed ceasefire talks in the Qatari capital, Doha. The war, which has raged for over ten months, has now claimed the lives of more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials.

Despite the grim toll, yesterday’s negotiations were described as “constructive” by a US official. However, significant obstacles remain. Hamas insists on implementing a framework agreement that includes a complete ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli forces, the return of displaced Palestinians, and a hostage exchange deal.

The situation is dire. Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that many more Palestinians are buried under rubble and threatened by illness. As the talks continue, the world watches, hoping for a breakthrough that can bring an end to this devastating conflict.
