Yesterday, Transport Canadaannounced that it was expanding international air transport agreements between Canada and the Côte d'Ivoire. The agreement increases the destinations available, the frequency of passenger and cargo flights, and the potential for fifth-freedom cargo flights. The development builds on a long-standing relationship between the two countries. Côte d'Ivoire is currently Canada's fourth-largest bilateral trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa. It is also home to a rapidly growing aviation market.

Canada’s merchandise trade surplus with the United States swelled to $11.2 billion in August, the largest one-month improvement on record, Statistics Canada reported, as total exports rose 2.5 percent and imports fell 2.0 percent. The agency flagged that goods newly targeted by American tariffs led export growth, and economists warn the surge reflects shipments hurried across the border ahead of the duties rather than durable demand, with the payback possibly arriving later as lost jobs and higher prices. The figures are the first reading of how Canadian firms reacted to a fresh round of U. S. duties announced July 22 and in effect by month’s end. Shipments to the U. S. climbed 8.1 percent while purchases from the U. S. slipped 2.5 percent, lifting the bilateral surplus from $6.1 billion in July. The global balance, a $787-million surplus in July, grew to $4.2 billion—the sixth surplus in a row.

Check your weather forecast for clear skies Thursday night into Friday morning, as there's another chance to spot the Northern Lights shining over Canada. Early on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, two immense solar storms erupted from the Sun. This followed a moderate-strength solar flare, ranked as M1.4-class, that exploded above Active Region 4549 — a group of sunspots clustered near the centre of the Sun's Earth-facing side. Two coronagraph views from early on October 6 shows two coronal mass ejections erupting from the Sun, roughly four hours apart. (NASA/ESA SOHO, Helioviewer)LOOK UP! The Draconid meteor shower peaks on the same night! Based on satellite observations and modelling of these two clouds by NASA and NOAA, the initial CME appears to be headed in a mostly northerly direction, and thus the bulk of it is projected to pass to the north of our planet as it sweeps by. Meanwhile, the second is what NOAA forecasters call a 'partial halo CME'. Basically, as it expands away from the Sun in coronagraph imagery, it appears as a 'ring' shape (or in this case, a partial ring) around the instrument field of view.

The global Arctic has become an increasingly important economic and geopolitical arena in recent years. Russia’s push to grow its power has altered its relationship with the seven other Arctic states that ring the top of the planet, including Canada. And U. S. President Donald Trump’s interest in Greenland and the broader Arctic has further heightened concerns about stewardship and sovereignty. As climate change accelerates sea-ice loss, the potential to develop new shipping lanes and access massive stores of oil and gas and critical minerals has grown as well, as has the interest of a host of non-Arctic states, including China, India and many European nations. On the eve of the Arctic Circle Assembly, the world’s largest annual gathering of Arctic nations, Be Giant spoke to assembly chairman Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson about the opportunities and the tensions in the region and about Canada’s new-found ambitions. The famously blunt former president of Iceland has previously called out Canada for failing to send a sufficiently powerful delegation to the conference, which is regularly attended by high-level ministers and ambassadors.
