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.

Rising Tensions: Iran Reportedly Planning Strike on Israel from Iraq

 

According to recent reports from Axios, Israeli intelligence has indicated that Iran is preparing to launch a significant retaliatory strike on Israel from Iraqi territory within the next few days. This development comes amidst escalating tensions between the two nations, following a series of tit-for-tat military actions.

The anticipated attack is expected to involve a large number of drones and ballistic missiles, potentially targeting strategic locations within Israel. Israeli sources suggest that Iran might be using pro-Iranian militias in Iraq to carry out the strike, possibly to avoid direct retaliation on Iranian soil.

This move is seen as a response to Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure, which were themselves a reaction to Iran’s earlier missile barrage against Israel. Iranian officials have vowed a “definitive and painful” response, with high-ranking sources indicating that the retaliation will be unlike any previous scenarios.

As the situation develops, the international community watches closely, hoping for a de-escalation of hostilities in the region.
