Around 80,000 Canadians in the Middle East amid Israel-Iran conflict: Global Affairs
Global Affairs Canada says approximately 3,500 Canadians are in Iran and another 6,700 are in Israel amid an escalating conflict between the two countries. The department says that count is based on the voluntary registration of around 80,000 Canadians in the Middle East and doesn't fully reflect how many of them may need help getting out of the region. Global Affairs Canada says it hasn't received any reports of Canadian injuries or deaths in the conflict. The department is warning against all travel to Iran, Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and advising Canadians in the Middle East to monitor the news and follow the instructions of local authorities. Maddy Eisenberg is an Ottawa resident currently stuck in Tel Aviv after her flight home from what was supposed to be a one-week trip in Israel was grounded. Eisenberg says she was told it could take days or maybe weeks for her to return home, and that has been a shock to the system. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 17, 2025.

Canadians give themselves a C grade in AI skills, TD survey shows
A new survey from Toronto-Dominion Bank shows Canadians may be more adept with AI than they believe, with lower levels of trust and familiarity potentially holding them back. The survey found 87 per cent of Canadians indicated they were comfortable utilizing, learning and adapting to new technologies. However, the results highlighted a gap between confidence and proficiency in using AI, with only three per cent of respondents giving themselves an A grade, while 40 per cent awarded themselves a C grade. Christine Morris, a senior executive vice-president at TD, says in a release that the survey suggests that although Canadians seem to be comfortable adapting to AI, the technology may feel unfamiliar. The survey also found trust in AI was relatively low, with 43 per cent finding it to be a source of accurate information. The survey was completed by Ipsos on behalf of TD in March, with responses from 2,500 individuals and a margin of error of 2.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadian adults been polled. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 17, 2025. Companies in this story: (TSX:TD)
