Mark Carney and Donald Trump in 'deep discussions' on trade: Doug Ford
Article content Ontario Premier Doug Ford says Prime Minister Mark Carney is in 'deep, deep discussions' on trade with U.S. President Donald Trump. Ford says he spoke with Carney on Wednesday and told him the best outcome would be a swift deal with the U.S. to drop Trump's tariffs on Canadian products. Ford also says that if that deal does not come through in the next few days, Canada should 'come out guns a-blazing' and match Trump's new steel and aluminum tariffs with retaliatory levies of its own.

Michael Higgins: Garneau's moral compass always pointed true north
It is a measure of the man that in a world where values, virtue, and self-sacrifice seem anachronistic, Marc Garneau embodied them. Article content Following his death on Wednesday at age 76 after a brief illness, there was lavish praise and kind words for Garneau whose life was devoted to serving his country. Article content Article content As an astronaut, Garneau reached the stars, as a politician he served honourably and faithfully, despite his tawdry treatment at the hands of Justin Trudeau. Article content In a statement, Prime Minister Mark Carney said, 'To those who worked alongside him, Marc was a trusted colleague and friend. To Canadians, he was a symbol of national pride and possibility.' Article content Article content Mary Simon, the Governor General, said he left behind a legacy of integrity and professionalism. Article content Erin O'Toole, the former Conservative leader who also served as a captain in the air force, said of Garneau, who had been a commander and captain in the navy, that he represented the very best of Canada and had inspired countless people 'including me.' Article content Garneau began his service to Canada by serving in the navy before joining the Canadian Astronaut Program. In 1984, he made history when he became the first Canadian in space as a payload specialist on the Space Shuttle Challenger. He went on to make two other space missions aboard the Endeavour. Article content 'I have been around planet earth…about 450 times,' Garneau recounted at a Ted Talk in 2013. Article content He was president of the Canadian Space Agency from 2001 to 2005 and in 2008 was elected as a Liberal MP for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce–Westmount (formerly Westmount–Ville-Marie). Article content Article content In 2013, he ran for the Liberal leadership against Trudeau, and in a debate that year, pointedly asked the future prime minister, 'So please tell us what in your resume qualifies you to be the leader of the country.' Article content Article content 'I was never sure after that whether he held that against me,' Garneau told the CBC's Rosemary Barton last year. 'But on balance, I think he didn't because he appointed me transport minister when we were finally elected.' Article content Garneau became transport minister in 2015 with one of his first acts being to introduce a passenger bill of rights for fliers. From January to October of 2021, he was foreign minister until suddenly being dropped without explanation by Trudeau and replaced by the more sycophantic Mélanie Joly.

Nova Scotia premier pitching ambitious ‘Wind West' offshore wind energy project
In response to Prime Minister Mark Carney's bid to make Canada an 'energy superpower,' Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is floating the idea of dramatically ramping up the province's nascent offshore wind energy industry. In an online video released earlier this week, Houston says he's hoping Carney's Liberal government will supply the federal money needed for a new megaproject the premier has dubbed 'Wind West.' The Progressive Conservative premier says the province is 'on the edge of a clean energy breakthrough' and he plans to support construction of enough offshore wind turbines to supply 27 per cent of Canada's total demand for electricity.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy The video was released with little fanfare on Monday, a day before Canada's provincial and territorial leaders met with Carney in Saskatoon, where the premiers pitched their wish lists for major projects. Nova Scotia has no offshore wind turbines, but the province is in the process of licensing projects that could produce up to five gigawatts of electricity by 2030. Story continues below advertisement The premier's plan calls for private and government funding to pay for construction of enough turbines to generate 40 gigawatts of electricity — eight times greater than the current projects — as well as a cross-country electricity cable. Meanwhile, Houston's government has yet to release any details about how this plan would be rolled out, aside from what's in the video. 'Of course, there are questions,' Houston says. 'Big projects always raise questions. But we are committed to working with Nova Scotians to ensure this project will benefit everyone.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 5, 2025.
