The federal government paid Stellantis more than $220 million to help upgrade its plants in Ontario before the automaker revealed plans to move some production to the U.S., recent records show. It's more than double the amount the federal government disclosed when asked in October about its Stellantis spending, after the multinational announced that it will scrap plans to build the Jeep Compass at its Brampton plant and assemble it in Belvidere, Ill., instead. Stellantis has received $18,629,124 under the agreement for FYE (fiscal year end) 2023 and $85,936,055 for FYE 2024, for total support of $104,565,179, a spokesperson for Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) told CBC News at the time. But the figures did not include the most recent fiscal year, which concluded at the end of March.

Electorally, the party itself needs to recover. But, beyond this, it needs to debate and reckon with more existential questions of policy and purpose. That calls for a genuine process of renewal, not simply a rebrand, and NDP members deserve a leadership race characterized by vibrant, vigorous debate about the party and its future. This being the case, the debate in Montreal this past Thursday -the first of only two official debates currently scheduled-was a resounding failure,
When an earthquake in 2002 struck in a remote pocket of Alaska, the shock was the strongest ever recorded in the interior of the state. But, miraculously, an oil pipeline that crossed directly over the fault line was unscathed. Engineers behind the design of the 800 mile system were prepared. Knowing the high likelihood of seismic activity along the route, which bisected the Denali fault, they constructed sections where the pipeline rested on rail girders, allowing it to sway and shear without snapping.
The resort town of Banff, in southwestern Canada's Alberta province, is the heart of Banff National Park, a 2,500-square-mile adventure haven beloved in summer for its sparkling alpine lakes, wildflower fields, and scenic hiking trails that crisscross the mountainous landscape.

Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy and inclusivity, the publishing house Kids Can Press said in a statement Monday night.

WHITEFISH, Mont. A chairlift cranks into gear as a group of ski patrollers at Whitefish Mountain Resort gets the mountain ready for another season. This is a typical safety training. They'll practice how to evacuate people off chairs if there were an emergency. But not much here feels typical. For starters, no one is in boots or on skis. Despite the training happening in late November, there is no snow at the base lodge, and the slopes leading up the mountain are brown,
"We found that expired products began to accumulate in the provincial stockpile as some of the products purchased during the pandemic fell short of desired quality standards and were not used," Spence wrote in her annual report.

There might not be a tougher roster to crack in all of sports than Canada's in a best-on-best hockey tournament, and this will be the first Olympics with NHL players since 2014. The amount of elite talent Canada has to choose from is staggering. They could ice two teams and be in the mix for a gold medal with both. Star players and past Stanley Cup champions won't make the cut. Not everyone can be selected.

This is certainly probably the most challenging fire to extinguish that Toronto has seen in years.

It highlights Ontario's economic struggles between April and September in the months immediately after U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies were imposed.

J ulian Canadien, a Dene man from Kakisa, Northwest Territories, is swarmed by black flies while he pulls weeds from the soil beneath his feet. The bugs don't bother him much.

Low oil and natural gas prices are taking a toll on the industry as drilling activity is falling in Western Canada and is expected to slide further in 2026. North American oil prices remain below $60 US per barrel, after climbing to more than $80 in January. As a result, oil and gas companies are cutting costs, and total capital spending is expected to decline by 5.6 per cent this year and a further 2.2 per cent in 2026,
