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.

Syria's Assad Falls: Celebrations Erupt as President's Whereabouts Remain Unknown

 


In a stunning turn of events, Syrian opposition fighters have successfully taken control of Damascus, leading to widespread celebrations across the city. The whereabouts of President Bashar al-Assad remain unknown, with reports indicating that he has fled the capital.

The rapid advance of rebel groups, including Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has marked the end of Assad's 13-year rule and the collapse of the Assad family's 50-year dynasty. Crowds gathered in Damascus squares, chanting anti-Assad slogans and honking car horns, as soldiers and police officers abandoned their posts.

Residents expressed a sense of liberation, with many recounting personal losses suffered under Assad's regime. The situation remains fluid, with the international community closely monitoring developments and the United Nations relocating non-critical staff as a precaution.

As Syria enters a new chapter, the future of the country hangs in the balance, with hopes for a peaceful transition and rebuilding.
