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.

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.

Kimberly Clausing, University of California, Los Angeles; and Peterson Institute for International Economics, Washington DC, USA. In recent months, the Trump Administration has engaged in another inscrutable series of trade actions against its neighbor to the north, relying on a never-before-used tariff authority from the 1930 Smoot–Hawley tariff legislation (Section 338) to levy tariffs up to 50% on a subset of Canadian trade. Canada followed with “dollar for dollar” retaliation, and since then Trump has announced more measures, including import bans on certain goods and moves to strip Canadian products from government procurement programs. Canada has not backed down, instead making overtures to Europe that have produced an invitation to become the EU’s first “associate member”. President Trump has called these steps a possible “hostile act”, leading to more tariff threats.

Clashing Arctic and Gulf air masses are set to bring multiple rounds of rain to Atlantic Canada through the end of the week. A stalled high-presure system over the southeastern U. S. is pushing moisture north, while a cold high-pressure system over Hudson Bay is heling drive an active storm track from the Praires to Atlantic Canada. Widespread rainfall of 20-40 mm is forecast across the Maritimes and Newfoundland, with locally higher amounts possible across southern Nova Scotia and Newfoundland's coast.

Showers around Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton will taper off through the afternoon. Gusty northwesterly winds are also expected across Newfoundland and the eastern Maritimes.

PoliticsEven as Ottawa pours billions into rebuilding Canada's military, CBC News has learned the Defence Department faces another round of internal belt-tightening. The federal Treasury Board is examining operational spending as part of cuts mandated in a previous federal budget, raising concerns that the government's ambitious rearmament plans could come at the expense of training, maintenance and readiness.

The Rideau Canal is North America’s best-preserved “slackwater” canal, and the only one from the great 19th century canal-building era that still operates along its original route with most of its original structures intact. Today, Parks Canada welcomes visitors to this UNESCO World Heritage Site to experience travel along an iconic route. Pleasure boaters and paddlers fill the locks, while other visitors come by land to marvel at the historic locks in action. Parks Canada is advising the public that lockstations have closed for the season.

Delaney Baie Pridham fired Canada ahead early with her first international goal in the 10th minute but Denmark responded with three goals in a nine minute span later in the first half to take control of the match in stunning fashion. October 13, 2026 at 1:30a.m. EDT
