Once an economic hinge connecting a young Canada from east to west, Thunder Bay is again finding itself at the center of a national effort to strengthen the country’s economic independence. As head of the local Chamber of Commerce, Charla Robinson attends her share of ribbon cuttings and mundane company announcements in Thunder Bay, a Canadian city of more than 100,000 on the western shore of Lake Superior. But at one such event in September, she cried. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had come to the Alstom manufacturing plant on the edge of town to announce a new deal: Thunder Bay would be part of a national project to build a new fleet of Canadian passenger railcars. For more than 20 years, Ms. Robinson had been pushing, in one form or another, for a Canadian-built rail project at the sprawling plant, one that manufactured Hawker Hurricane fighter planes during World War II. Now, thanks in part to a rupture between Canada and the United States, she will finally see it happen. “The surprise was we’re building it in Canada, all the way through. That was like, holy smokes. We’re finally doing it,” she says. “Properly.”There is something fitting about that happening here.

WAINWRIGHT, Alta. — The Unity Bus arrives right on time, pulling into a parking lot on the edge of this town of about 6,600 people close to the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. As the vehicle slows to a halt, resplendent in its patriotic red-and-white paint, a small group of supporters stand waiting, decked in their own maple leaf garb. The Unity Bus’s doors open and former Alberta deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk bounds to the ground. The supporters, volunteers with Lukaszuk’s Forever Canadian campaign, welcome him with applause; he greets them with open arms. He knows many by name, having been to Wainwright four times; some of them fondly call him “the boss.”

TORONTO, October 12, 2026 – The Canadian Public Accountability Board has publicly censured accounting firm RSM Canada LLP for the practice of backdating signoffs for more than five years. A settlement agreement between CPAB and RSM describes how the practice was conducted through a cloud-based service that allowed accountants to manually select preparer and reviewer signoff dates for workpapers. According to the Canadian audit watchdog, “this meant that Signoff Backdating was possible and took only a matter of seconds.”

“The UK has also confirmed this event demonstrates the IRGC’s continued willingness to project hostile activity beyond its borders through covert networks and proxy actors.” The statement also notes a “recent campaign of attacks across Europe targeting Jewish communities, Iranian journalists and U. S. interests, claimed by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya,” a pro-Iran group. The signatories include the United States, France, Germany and Australia, among others. They say any attempt by Iran to threaten individuals on their territory through proxies is unacceptable. “Anyone who conducts hostile activities on behalf of Iran, or any other state, should know that we will take action to identify, investigate, disrupt and prosecute these acts,” the statement says. Police have arrested seven men in the investigation into the alleged plot at RAF Fairford, but all suspects have been released on bail and no one has been charged so far. The RAF Fairford air base has been used by American bombers to strike Iran in the ongoing war. Iran has denied involvement, although it has previously said that it considers any base used to attack its territory a legitimate target.
