Trudeau pledges more action on cybersecurity following decision to ban Huawei from 5G

A day after the federal Liberals banned Chinese firms Huawei Technologies and ZTE from helping build Canada's 5G networks, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says more must be done to secure critical systems against threats. Trudeau says the government is working closely with big financial institutions as well as other companies across the country to protect vital networks from malicious attackers. Speaking to reporters today, he says Canada will do more, whether through legislation, new spending or better and stronger partnerships. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said Thursday the governme

Coroner's jury recommending an independent group review the use-of-force policy that guides New Brunswick police

A coroner's jury is recommending that an independent group review the use-of-force policy that guides New Brunswick police. The three-woman, two-man jury was tasked with examining the death of Chantel Moore, a 26-year-old Indigenous woman shot dead by a police officer in northern New Brunswick in 2020 during a wellness check. The inquest has heard that Moore pointed a knife at an officer and advanced toward him before he shot her four times. Jurors are also recommending that police officers be tested on their comprehension of current police policies and that police build better relationships

Montreal public health provides update on Monkeypox as European outbreak grows

European and American health authorities have identified a number of cases of monkeypox this week, a surprising outbreak of an illness that has previously been limited mostly to central and western Africa. Doctors are still unsure how exactly monkeypox is spreading. The disease is normally transmitted either from wild animals like rodents and primates or from very close contact with infected people. British officials say most recent cases have been men who have had sex with men, and who had no history of travel to Africa. That suggests the disease is already spreading in the country. Quebec's

Canada banning China's Huawei Technologies, ZTE from 5G telecom networks

The Liberal government has banned China's Huawei Technologies from Canada's long-awaited blueprint for next-generation mobile networks. The development of 5-G, or fifth-generation networks, will give people speedier online connections and provide vast data capacity to meet ravenous demand as innovations such as virtual reality, immersive gaming and autonomous vehicles emerge. Critics, including the opposition Conservatives, have long pressed the Liberals to deny Huawei a role in building the country's 5G infrastructure, saying it would allow Beijing to spy on Canadians more easily.

Quebec's Public health authorities investigating a number of suspected cases of monkey pox

Quebec's Public health authorities are investigating a number of suspected cases of monkey pox in the Montreal area.

Dr. Drouin says the disease is transmitted by prolonged close contact and there is no risk from everyday activities like taking public transit or shopping or dining out. Public health authorities are investigating 17 suspected cases of monkeypox in the M

Canada on 'upward trajectory' on NATO spending, modernizing Norad: defence minister

Defence Minister Anita Anand wouldn't tell a virtual conference hosted by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce when the government will meet the NATO spending target of two per cent of GDP. She would only say that Canada is on an ``upward trajectory'' when it comes to meeting the target first agreed to in 2014 as well as modernizing NORAD. Anand also says she's in the process of working on the "unwritten chapter" of Canada's defence strategy: modernizing the outdated continental defence system it shares with the U.S. She says Canada intends to work closely with domestic defence contractors in orde

In a statement to The Canadian Press, he also condemned the deadly shooting rampage at a store in Buffalo that left 10 people dead, mostly Black. US law enforcement is investigating the shooter's online posts, which include the conspiracy theory that there's a plot to diminish the influence of white people in America by bringing in more non-white immigrants.
