StatCan to publish March jobs data after labour market's rough start to 2026

Statistics Canada is set to release its March labour force survey Friday, offering the latest snapshot of Canada’s job market after a sharp slowdown at the start of the year.

That would follow losses totalling more than 100,000 positions in January and February combined, based on previous labour force data. The same poll projects the national unemployment rate will edge up to 6.8 per cent. Economists at RBC, however, expect the rate to hold at 6.7 per cent, citing modest hiring conditions t

Environment Canada to introduce AI-driven hybrid model for weather forecasting

According to the federal department, the new hybrid model will analyze decades of historical weather data across North America within minutes, allowing forecasters to generate more precise predictions. Officials say the system is designed to address limitations in standalone AI models by retaining small-scale atmospheric details through conventional forecasting methods. Environment Canada say

Carney says Canada not considering sanctions on Israel after Lebanon strikes

Carney said Thursday that while the ceasefire remains “very fragile,” Canada’s position is to support diplomatic efforts rather than impose punitive measures at this time. “The end of hostilities must include Lebanon,” he said, adding Canada will use its influence to encourage broader regional stability.
