AI Minister Backs Anthropic’s ‘Responsible’ Mythos Rollout as Regulation Tightens

  Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon will meet with Anthropic leaders in response to concerns about the company’s new AI model. Canada’s Artificial Intelligence Minister says Anthropic is taking a “responsible and safety‑first approach” with its newly announced Mythos model family — a comment that comes as governments worldwide race to regulate rapidly advancing AI systems. According to public statements, the minister highlighted Anthropic’s emphasis on model transparency, safety evaluations, and controlled deployment , noting that these practices align with Canada’s push for clearer AI accountability standards.

Canada Strikes Back: Joly Unveils Three-Point Plan to Shield Industry from U.S. Tariffs

                                            Innovation Minister Mélanie Joly

Innovation Minister Mélanie Joly has announced a sweeping three-point industrial strategy designed to protect Canada’s economy from escalating U.S. tariffs under President Donald Trump’s trade policies.

Speaking ahead of a major address in Toronto, Joly emphasized that Canada’s auto, steel, aluminum, copper, and lumber sectors are under direct threat from Washington’s trade war. “It’s not a wait-and-see approach. This is a Canadian moment we need to seize,” she said.

The plan focuses on:

  • Protecting jobs through immediate financial relief for industries hit hardest by tariffs.
  • Creating new employment opportunities by accelerating approvals for major projects and investing in domestic production.
  • Attracting global talent and investment by leveraging Ottawa’s purchasing power and long-term defence contracts to stimulate innovation.

Ottawa has already committed billions in targeted support, including $400 million for Algoma Steel and $1.25 billion for the softwood lumber sector. The government also plans to use its new Build Canada Homes agency, Buy Canadian policy, and Defence Investment Agency to drive growth and re-establish a domestic military industry.

Joly framed the initiative as both a defensive and forward-looking measure, aiming to help Canadian industries adapt, pivot, and compete globally despite mounting U.S. trade pressures.
