Moe says Canada's top priority should be building an energy corridor that connects the northwest coast to the coast of Hudson Bay. It's a pitch premiers have been making for over a month, since it

Canadian population growth continued to slow with almost no increase in Q1: StatCan

Statistics Canada says population growth stalled in the first quarter. The agency says the Canadian population rose by 20,107 people from Jan. 1 to April 1 to 41,548,787, the smallest increase since the third quarter of 2020 when it contracted by 1,232 people. It was the sixth consecutive quarter of slower population growth after a decision by the federal government in 2024 to lower the levels of both temporary and permanent immigration. However, immigration still accounted for all of the population growth in the quarter as there were 5,628 more deaths than births in Canada. Canada admitted 10

Canada, India agree to name new high commissioners at G7 meeting

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G-7 summit today. During the discussion, both countries decided to appoint new High Commissioners. Along with this, regular diplomatic services will be restored for citizens of both countries. Canada expelled six Indian diplomats and consular officials last fall. This decision was taken after law enforcement reported that Indian government agents were involved in a targeted campaign against Canadian citizens. Chinmoy Naik is currently serving as the Acting High Commissioner of India to Canada.

Alberta Could See Billions in Budget Surplus Amid High Oil Prices

The Alberta government is expected to record a budget surplus of billions of dollars this fiscal year, driven by higher crude oil prices. According to University of Calgary economics professor Trevor Tombe, the province has already accumulated a $3.8-billion surplus so far this fiscal year. He said every $1-per-barrel change in oil prices can make a difference of about $680 million to the provincial treasury. Tombe estimates that if oil prices remain above $66 per barrel, Alberta could end up with a surplus of around $6 billion, instead of the previously projected $9.4-billion deficit. Alberta
