President Cyril Ramaphosa en die Kanadese eerste minister, Mark Carney, het bilaterale gesprekke gevoer aan die vooraand van die uitreiksessie van die G7-beraad wat vandag in Alberta begin. Ramaphosa word vergesel van die Minister van Internasionale Betrekkinge en Samewerking Ronald Lamola en verteenwoordig die enigste Afrikaland wat genooi is. Kanada is tans gasheer vir die G7-presidentskap met Suid-Afrika wat voorberei om die G20-presidentskap later vanjaar oor te neem. Ramaphosa het die handel-, belegging- en tegnologiese samewerking tussen die lande geloof:
Die Kanadese eerste minister Mark Carney sê bilaterale betrekkinge met Suid-Afrika sal versterk word deur internasionale samewerking. Carney het president Ramaphosa ontmoet, voor die G7 Beraad. Al twee lande hou vanjaar belangrike berade. Suid-Afrika is in November gasheer van die G20 Beraad. Carney het Suid-Afrika se ondersteuning met die brande in Kanada geloof, voortgesette samewerking in handel en beleggings belig en 'n groeiende vennootskap tussen die twee lande bevestig:
The independent Conservative MLAs start a new party, but only some of them. Plus the NDP has ferry troubles again. Meanwhile in Ottawa, Carney takes a page from BC's Bill 15 as questions pile up about what is his foreign policy. Links

The new Carney government is making a lot of commitments and they all add up, but where's the money coming from to pay for it all?
At Issue this week: Minister Mark Carney invites Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the G7 summit. Canada gets a defence spending boost. And how close are we to a trade deal with the U.S.? Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.
Political observers are describing Canada's move as “unprecedented” after foreign minister Anita Anand announced on June 10 the country has joined 4 other allied nations in imposing travel and economic sanctions against two extreme-right wing, Israeli politicians for being part of West Bank settler violence against Palestinians. Canada has slapped similar sanctions on several civilian Israeli settlers three times already since 2024, accusing them of fomenting attacks on Palestinians and their villages–attacks which largely go unpunished. But the listing of Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, sitting members of a democratic, Western government that is a long-time ally of Canada, is being seen as an important diplomatic “signalling its extreme displeasure with the Israeli government”. Smotrich is Israel's current finance minister, while Ben Gvir is in charge of national security. Both men live in settlements on the West Bank, and both have made highly controversial remarks about Palestinians, about wanting to annex the West Bank and Gaza for Israel, even that there is no such thing as a Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice is now hearing a case about incitement to genocide because of some of these remarks. While progressive Jewish leaders in Canada have praised the sanctions on the two men, in practise, experts say Canada rarely enforces them. To explain the strategy behind Canada's team approach to the new sanctions on Israeli politicians and what message they're meant to send, on today's episode of North Star, host Ellin Bessner speaks with Thomas Juneau. He is a professor of political science and an expert in Middle East studies at the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa. Related links How Canada, France and the U.K. rebuked Israel's renewed military campaign in Gaza and threatened sanctions about expanding settlements, on May 19, in a joint statement.

In this explosive episode of The Richard Syrett Show, Richard Syrett delivers a fiery monologue tearing into Bill C-2, the “Strong Borders Act,” exposing it as a globalist plot led by Prime Minister Mark Carney to impose a cashless, surveilled Canada. He dissects Section 136's sinister cash ban and its ties to Carney's obsession with Central Bank Digital Currencies, warning of a future where every transaction is tracked. In the News Not in the News segment, Richard tackles four stories ignored by mainstream media: a poll revealing 52% of Canadians reject the “stolen land” narrative, corporate giants ditching Toronto's radicalized Pride parade, a parent silenced for opposing school board dogma, and Canada's chaotic immigration system with 500,000 undocumented migrants. With sharp analysis and unapologetic truth, Richard exposes the erosion of Canada's freedom and identity. Tune in for a fearless take on a nation at a crossroads. Learn more about your ad choices.

For years now Canada's been badgered to pony up, and spend more money on the military. Those calls have come from our actual military itself, our NATO allies, and more recently the U.S. President.Well it looks like Mark Carney is going to pull out the credit card, and commit to spending an extra $9.3-billion on the armed forces by March, bumping our military spending up to two per cent of Canada's entire GDP.Carney has also pledged to end this country's reliance on the U.S. for equipment by diverting billions of dollars in spending to Canadian manufacturers.The timing awkwardly coincided with news about an embarrassing foray into Canadian military procurement: our plans to buy a fleet of F-35 fighter jets from America that the auditor general reported was billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule.So, what is Carney's vision for the future of our military? And how serious are the threats against Canada?David Pugliese, defence reporter with the Ottawa Citizen, talks us through it.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Today, we're looking at a new report from the Auditor General, which blasted the Liberal government for its massive failures on the COVID-era ArriveCan app, including nearly $100 million in contracts awarded to the small firm behind the app's development. Plus, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he supports Prime Minister Mark Carney's plan to reach NATO's 2% spending commitment and would support further funding for the Canadian Armed Forces as the alliance prepares to increase spending commitments ahead of a summit later this month. And finally, deputy Conservative leader Melissa Lantsman grilled Carney's new immigration minister, Lena Metlege Diab, over failures in the government's vetting process for new immigrants following a spate of terror-related arrests. Special Guest: Lise Merle.
It's taken a long time, but it looks like Canada is finally going to commit two percent of its GDP to defence spending.

As Canada's relationship with the U.S. shifts, Mark Carney announced yesterday a $9 billion boost to defence spending that would allow the country to meet its NATO spending targets. A reporter explains that Carney is seizing the moment to usher in new investment. Meanwhile, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran hopes the increased spending will end decades of "embarrassment" for soldiers who have been working with decades-old equipment.
On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice delves into the Left's furious reaction to Mark Carney's Bill C-5, which critics say weakens environmental protections and overrides consultation. Plus, Candice is joined by True North Wire journalist Melanie Bennet to discuss how radical ideologies in Canada's education system are targeting parents, families, and foundational values.

This week on the podcast, we discussed Jackie's recent visit to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, to attend the Energy NL conference. Energy NL is the province's energy supply and service sector association, which annually hosts the province's flagship conference on conventional and clean energy. This week, Charlene Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Energy NL, joins the podcast to explore Newfoundland and Labrador's energy potential and the discussions at the conference. Among the topics covered were potential nation-building projects, such as the Churchill River hydroelectric development—a joint $33 billion potential initiative by Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro and Hydro-Québec that aims to add nearly 4 GW of new electricity generation capacity on the river. Another significant project discussed was Equinor's Bay du Nord offshore oil development, which could open a new offshore basin 500 km off the coast of Newfoundland. In addition to covering the conference highlights, Jackie and Peter recapped the past week's events, including the constructive First Ministers' meeting in Saskatoon on June 2nd. During this meeting, Prime Minister Carney outlined the criteria for nation-building projects. Furthermore, on June 6th, the Carney government tabled new legislation, “Bill C-5: One Canadian Economy: An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act.” The goal is to pass the bill into law by Canada Day.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 130-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,921 on turnover of 5.6-billion N-T. The market closed higher on Monday, as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its share price rebound to hit the 1,000 N-T mark for the first time in three months. The overall rise was led by the electronics index - which added 0.75-per cent during the trading day. Market watchers say investor attention was centered on T-S-M-C, while other semiconductor and tech stocks were mixed. MAC says 3,100 spouses renounce China residency The Mainland Affairs Council says more than 3,100 spouses from China have submitted proof of renunciation of their Chinese household registration. The statement comes after the National Immigration Agency issued a notice to spouses to submit proof that they had renounced their Chinese household registration in April. The notice stated that spouses from China had until June 30 to renounce (放棄) their Chinese household registration or their Taiwanese household registration would be revoked. However, people having difficulties obtaining such a document have been granted an extension of the deadline or may submit a written affidavit in lieu of (以…替代) documentation. A total of 2,000 have so far applied for postponements or submitted an affidavit. 23 indicted for exporting garbage disguised as plastic waste The New Taipei District Prosecutors' Office has indicted 23 people for their roles in exporting garbage disguised as plastic waste. The prosecutors' office says evidence suggests the fraud ring netted (獲得) more than 49-million N-T in illicit gains. According to the indictment, environmental waste management firms collected general waste and stored it at sites in New Taipei and Changhua County. The waste was then transported to Kaohsiung, where it was compressed, repackaged and disguised as plastic waste and then shipped to Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam for sale. The suspects have all been charged with violating the Waste Disposal Act. Trump's travel ban takes effect Trump's new travel ban is taking effect as tensions escalate over immigration enforcement in the US. AP's Julie Walker reports. Carney: Canada to meet NATO military spending goals by next year Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says, Canada will meet NATO's military spending goals by early next year. Carney also said that Canada would diversify defense spending away from the US. The announcement means that Canada will achieve NATO's spending target of 2% of GDP five years earlier than previously planned. Carney says, Canada's military equipment has aged, and only one out of every four submarines is seaworthy (適航的). NATO figures show that Canada is estimated to be spending 1.33% of GDP on military spending in 2023. That was the I.C.R.T.

As temperatures and sea levels rise, the effects of climate change are being felt in weather patterns, natural disasters, and in both public and personal mental health. We talk with Dr. Caroline Carney, President of Behavioral Health and Chief Medical Officer at Magellan Health in Phoenix about the connection between your mind and the dire conditions Earth is facing. She says the damage is being done by the traumatic effects of fires, floods, and other severe weather incidents but also by the gnawing anxiety that the future holds more extreme and changing conditions that we'll have to deal with in ever-increasing amounts. Dr. Carney offers advice on what you can do as an individual to understand and address what's happening and she offers insight into how the medical community is doing with confronting these crises.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

The Prime Minister announces a huge boost to military spending, to the relief of a former Canadian Army commander who says that, in an unstable world, that investment is long overdue. An Australian woman is accused of killing her inlaws by serving them Beef Wellington with poisonous mushrooms, and her trial has become a national obsession.

Today, we're looking at Prime Minister Mark Carney declaring Canada will meet its 2% NATO spending target by March 2026 — with the announcement coming just weeks ahead of a NATO summit, where allies are expected to agree to a further increase in defence spending. Plus, the PM also addressed the Muslim Association of Canada last week, where he said that Islamic values are Canadian values. Is that true? Or was Carney just pandering to the audience? And finally, a new poll shows around half of Conservative Party of Canada voters would back an independent Alberta.
In an announcement including billions of spending on defence, Prime Minister Mark Carney says the era of U.S. dominance is ending. Carney says Canada must stop relying on the Americans for protection, and will meet the NATO military spending target of two per cent of GDP by March. That will mean arming the military with new subs, armored vehicles, and drones, and an increased focus on the Arctic, and cybersecurity and AI.And: Tension is building in the streets of Los Angeles and the rhetoric is ramping up in Washington D.C. U.S. Marines are reportedly joining the National Guard in response to ongoing immigration protests. U.S. President Donald Trump says, if he were border czar Tom Homan, he would arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom.Also: Six babies have been born with the measles in Ontario since the current outbreak started last fall. Doctors are saying there should be more effort to protect pregnant people – or even those planning to conceive.Plus: Closing arguments in the trial of five former Canada junior hockey players, civil liberties groups worried about the Strong Borders Act, and more.
On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for an exclusive interview. What went down at last week's meeting between the Prime Minister and the premiers, and what does Premier Smith think about the Liberals' news claims to support energy projects? Can Ottawa be trusted? I asked Premier Smith these important questions, and — in perhaps the best exchange of the interview — I asked whether she truly believes Mark Carney is any better than Justin Trudeau. Her answer might surprise you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will reach NATO's two per cent of GDP defence spending target this fiscal year — a dramatic acceleration from his previous 2030 timeline. U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra tells Power & Politics that the U.S. is 'thankful' for the spending and says it shows 'clear progress' for trade and security talks between the president and prime minister. Then, Canada's top military commander, Gen. Jennie Carignan, argues the increased cash can build capacity in the armed forces despite procurement and staffing limitations.

Nothing usually ends well when you get into a relationship with Donald Trump. Just ask Elon Musk.
Canadian political leaders are in a precarious moment. Fresh off the resignation of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and ascendancy of his successor, new Prime Minister and Liberal Party leader Mark Carney, the nation faces a brewing trade war with the United States and a deteriorating relationship with its president, Donald Trump.In addition to managing those global tensions, Canadian leaders have a long to-do list on tech policy, including figuring out the nation's approach to artificial intelligence and online harms. How will the new Carney-led government in Canada navigate those issues?Tech Policy Press associate editor Cristiano Lima-Strong spoke to three experts to get a sense:Renee Black is founder of goodbot, where she works on preventing harmful disinformation and bias, and establishing frameworks that protect digital rights.Maroussia Lévesque is a doctoral candidate and lecturer at Harvard Law School, an affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center, and a senior fellow at the Center for International Governance Innovation.Vass Bednar is a public policy entrepreneur working at the intersection of technology and public policy.
At Issue this week: Sources tell CBC/Radio-Canada that Carney and Trump have shared private calls and texts about tariffs. Premiers pitch their infrastructure projects to the prime minister. And does a new border security bill go too far? Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.
One Canadian Economy – not just a bill tabled today in the House of Commons, but a cornerstone of Prime Minister Mark Carney's policy approach.Carney invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 in Alberta later this month. The relationship between the two countries has been strained for several years. The RCMP has detailed allegations accusing agents of the Indian government of playing a role in widespread violence in Canada, including homicides.And: Saskatchewan's premier Scott Moe says two people have been charged with setting fires in the province. It's not clear how large those fires got. But what is clear: thousands of people are out of their homes, waiting to find out for how long. And some are getting frustrated with the services available and the process to get them.Also: After the heated words of a nasty breakup – came the silence. But their spectacular public blow out yesterday still has the world wondering – what happens next as two of the world's most powerful and erratic men square off?Plus: Russia strikes Ukraine, school boards urged to buy Canadian, and more.
Today, we're looking at Prime Minister Mark Carney's government surviving its first test, as the Liberal throne speech passed through the House of Commons on a quirk that saw no official vote held — likely because the Liberals would have lost. Plus, Carney's government is trying to pass new border security measures which may come with a catch for Canadians' privacy. And finally, the Waterloo Region District School Board is receiving backlash after it hosted a training session where staff were taught the term "family" was harmful.
The Liberals have tabled new legislation that would significantly expand law enforcement powers and tighten immigration of all kinds, including refugee claims, in a move to appease the Trump White House — but critics say it raises major concerns for Canadians' civil liberties.Meanwhile, Mark Carney met with Canada's provincial and territorial premiers this week in his first ever first ministers' meeting, and the post-meeting vibes have been extremely positive. There seems to be a general agreement on the idea of building a new east-west pipeline — but almost nothing else about it is clear, including who would actually build it. How long will the honeymoon last?The Toronto Star's Althia Raj and CBC Ottawa's Aaron Wherry are on the show to tackle this political doubleheader.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
