Prime Minister Carney speaks with Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi - Prime Minister of Canada

Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, spoke with the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. The prime ministers welcomed the increased engagement between Canada and India over the past year, including in areas such as finance, defence and security, people-to-people ties, and artificial intelligence. They underscored the opportunity to build on this renewed momentum. To that end, the leaders reaffirmed their commitment to conclude negotiations on a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) at the earliest opportunity, supporting efforts to double two-way trade by 2030. They welcomed the historic Team Canada Trade Mission currently taking place in India, led by the Minister of International Trade, Maninder Sidhu, as well as a visit to New Delhi this week by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anita Anand, to advance shared priorities, including trade, energy, and people-to-people ties. The leaders also discussed the impacts of geopolitical instability for the Indo-Pacific region and the need for trusted partners in the areas of energy and agriculture.

Alberta’s $630-billion case for re-federating Canada, not leaving it - The Hub | More Signal. Less Noise.

Since 1960, Ottawa has taken a net $630 billion out of Alberta, including an average of $20 billion a year over the past decade, in years when the provincial treasury ran multi-billion-dollar deficits. That figure, more than any poll, explains why Albertans vote on 10 referendum questions on Oct. 19. Only one touches separation. Hub contributor Michael Rupert Binnion, who sat on the Alberta Next Panel that shaped the other nine, argues the real choice is between the status quo and “lawful, negotiated change”—a stronger Alberta inside a stronger Canada. He is right, and the rest of the country should read the result as the opening terms of a renegotiation rather than a provincial tantrum. The separatist question will lose. The latest Angus Reid Institute survey puts No at 60 percent and Yes at 35; CBC tracking has shown roughly 27 percent for separation and 67 percent against for eight years. The trajectory is the problem, not the level.

STORYTELLING : FROM LOCAL TO NATIONAL - THE PATHWAY - Rugby Canada

The Rugby Rematch Tour presented by Canadian Tire is approaching, and when Canada's Women's 15s team take the field, the Maple Leaf will be stitched across every jersey. But long before these players represented their country on the international stage, they represented their local clubs, universities, and communities; pieces of one nation, each with different stories, roads, and strategies that led them to where they are today. None of these players rose to the top as perfect athletes from day one. It took dedication, hard work, and years of development alongside local teammates and coaches to build that foundation and take it to the highest level of competition. So, when we look at the roster, full of talent and hard work, we also see the diversity of stories and upbringings; a plethora of Canadian definitions; a squad that showcases Canadians from British Columbia and Ontario to the Canadian Prairies, Manitoba, and Quebec. A team that starts on the West Coast and ends with players on the East Coast, more than 4,310 km apart. And while their journeys may differ, they share a common destination: representing Canada.

Opinion: Canada is set to take a quantum-computing leap. What will that mean for Canadians? - The Globe and Mail

Open this photo in gallery:Microsoft's Majorana 2 quantum computing chip, which the company designed with help from AI. John Brecher/ReutersSheema Khan is an author who holds a PhD from Harvard University in chemical physics, along with numerous patents on drug delivery technology. I fell in love with Schrödinger’s equation at Marianopolis College in Quebec. That love took me to courses in quantum mechanics at McGill and later at Harvard, where I would spend many delightful hours studying Feynman diagrams in the physics library. The mathematical elegance and physical implications of those equations were mesmerizing. Just a few years prior, Richard Feynman had first introduced the idea of quantum computing, arguing that traditional computers could not properly simulate quantum mechanical systems. Today, the next computing disruption is on the horizon, based on the peculiarities of quantum physics. Today’s computers operate based on bits, the smallest units of data, which have a value of either 0 or 1. Quantum computers, on the other hand, operate on “qubits” (quantum bits); a qubit can be 0, 1 or any combination in between.

As Geely announces plans, Chinese EV brands could destroy Canada’s auto sector – or help save it - The Globe and Mail

Open this photo in gallery:Geely vehicles are displayed at a car dealership in Shanghai, China August 17, 2021. ALY SONG/ReutersWhen the sprawling Chinese automotive conglomerate Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. Ltd. was founded as a refrigerator-parts manufacturer in 1986, factories in Ontario had already been churning out cars for the better part of a century. More than 1.6 million cars rolled off Ontario production lines that year: Honda built its first car in Canada, Toyota broke ground on its Cambridge, Ont., plant, and General Motors and Suzuki announced plans to build a facility in Ingersoll, Ont. North American manufacturers accounted for about 70 per cent of all new vehicles sold in Canada. Today, the tables have turned. Canada’s auto manufacturing sector, which has been in a slow, prolonged decline, is staring down an existential threat in the form of crippling U. S. tariffs that are rapidly killing any hope Canada had of grabbing a slice of the once-in-a-generation electric vehicle manufacturing boom. Geely Auto, meanwhile, sold more than three million cars last year in more than 80 countries.
