Carney's G7 invitation list continues to expand, despite concerns about India's presence
Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to expand the invitation list for the coming Group of Seven summit, as he seeks to build new economic partnerships, though some of his caucus members are raising concerns about India's presence at the table. The Globe and Mail has learned that Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will not attend next week's G7 gathering in Kananaskis, Alta. – a development that may ease some of the tension inside Mr. Carney's Liberal caucus, as some MPs were also upset about Mr. bin Salman's invitation. The MPs say India and Saudi Arabia are in violation of Mr. Carney's own G7 priority of 'countering foreign interference and transnational crime,' and therefore should not have been invited. A list of attendants of the June 15-17 summit, issued Wednesday by the Prime Minister's Office, includes the leaders of Brazil, South Africa, India, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Mexico, Ukraine and Australia; the presidents of the European Commission and World Bank; and the NATO secretary-general. More leaders may still be confirmed. The members of the G7, an informal grouping of some of the world's most advanced economies, are Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain and the United States. The country hosting each year's summit often invites non-member states to attend in recognition of other major economies and the need for global collaboration on major policy priorities. Mr. Carney announced Wednesday that, ahead of the summit, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will come to Ottawa for bilateral talks. 'Prime Minister Starmer's visit will strengthen the long-standing economic and security partnership between the two nations – and deliver growth and prosperity for our peoples,' Mr. Carney's office said in a statement. The two men previously met in March, on Mr. Carney's first trip abroad as Prime Minister. Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal criticizes Modi's G7 invitation in meeting with Carney The G7 summit will mark U.S. President Donald Trump's first visit to Canada since his re-election and imposition of tariffs on this country. Ottawa and Washington continue to negotiate toward a new trade and security deal. Mr. Carney has said the priorities guiding the summit are 'anchored' in building stronger economies. He will be seeking co-ordinated action in three areas: 'protecting our communities and the world,' 'building energy security and accelerating digital transitions,' and securing economic partnerships. Under that first heading, he specifically described tackling foreign interference and transnational crime – a priority that Liberal MPs said Wednesday is out of step with inviting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr. bin Salman. In 2023, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh-Canadian advocate for the carving out of an independent state of Khalistan in India, was killed in B.C. Mr. Carney's predecessor, Justin Trudeau, publicly accused India of orchestrating the slaying, though New Delhi has denied the allegation. Four Indian nationals have been charged in the case. The foreign-interference inquiry also cited instances of Indian-state meddling in Canadian democratic processes. Opinion: Carney should know it's way too soon to invite Modi to Canada In 2018, Ottawa imposed sanctions on 17 Saudis for the slaying of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Turkey. U.S. media later reported that the CIA believes Mr. bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince, ordered Mr. Khashoggi's killing – contradicting Riyadh's assertion that he was not involved. Gurbux Saini, a B.C. Liberal MP, said the G7 invitations of Mr. Modi and Mr. bin Salman undermine Canada's reputation. 'It is a damaging thing because we have been known in the world as caring and compassionate people who love human rights, and this is something the Prime Minister is aware of and it has been brought to his attention,' Mr. Saini said on his way into the party's weekly caucus meeting Wednesday. Mr. Carney did not answer questions from reporters Wednesday about the invite to Mr. bin Salman. But last week, Mr. Carney said it made sense for India to be at the table, as it is one of the largest economies in the world and central to global supply chains. He wouldn't comment on the allegations levelled by his predecessor against India, saying 'the rule of law is proceeding as it should,' and that he wasn't going to comment. But he said the invitation to Mr. Modi was extended in the context of continuing dialogue between law enforcement in both countries. Some MPs said Wednesday that, while they understand the imperative of engaging economically and diplomatically with India and Saudi Arabia, there has to be a wider discussion of the issues. 'These are important economic relationships to have,' said Karina Gould, who ran against Mr. Carney for Liberal leadership earlier this year. 'But that being said, as Canada, we also have certain values that are important to us, and when it comes to human rights, when it comes to standing up and protecting Canadian citizens on our soil, but also ensuring that freedom exists around the world, that that's a message that we should be passing along to both Prime Minister Modi as well as the Crown Prince.'

Business is bleak: Urgent calls to resuscitate downtown Victoria
The annual report from the Downtown Vancouver Business Association is calling for urgent action from all three levels of government. Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual Loading the player instance is taking more time than usual It's not pretty, but it's predictable. The Downtown Victoria Business Association's annual report is highlighting myriad issues in the core of B.C.'s capital city, finding hundreds of business owners are interested in setting up shop elsewhere. Of the 627 business owners who responded to a DVBA survey, roughly 300 – or 48 per cent of respondents – said they'd consider closing if they weren't tied to a lease. 'Businesses are in a difficult situation and are no longer able to wait for long-term solutions,' DVBA executive director Jeff Bray said during a press conference on Wednesday. 'This really serves as a wake-up call for all three levels of government to take immediate action.' The challenges raised in the annual report are crime, homelessness, and parking. That won't come as a surprise to many, as downtown businesses have been flagging those issues for years. Oh Sugar, a candy shop on lower Johnson Street, is one of the businesses considering bidding downtown adieu. 'Post-pandemic, we've noticed a lot more… street disorder, crime, mental health issues,' Oh Sugar co-owner Keith Johnson said. 'It doesn't necessarily make financial sense to keep operating in the downtown core with just so much activity happening that's in a negative perspective.' When it comes to cash, about 39 per cent of DVBA survey respondents reported a decline in their net profits. Roughly 27 per cent of respondents saw an improved economic performance and 21 per cent had no change. Possible solutions in the works The DVBA wants the province to provide immediate access to addictions and mental health treatment, potentially using portable trailers as temporary service spaces. 'Get on with not only saving our downtowns but saving lives and providing humane care for people who are clearly struggling on our streets,' Bray said. B.C.'s Health Ministry said it's working urgently to expand mental health and addictions care. The DVBA is advocating for involuntary care for those who are extremely sick, which the province announced it was expanding last fall. It has opened 10 involuntary care beds at the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre and another 18 at Alouette Homes, a mental health facility in Maple Ridge. Also on the DVBA's wish list: increased funding for the justice system. '(A) small number of people (are) committing the majority of the crimes. If they were actually held in custody, you would see an immediate reduction in crime,' Bray said. Last month, the province launched a public safety program aimed at reducing robbery, shoplifting, vandalism, and other non-violent street crimes in high-traffic business areas. The province also noted it has increased the budget for the B.C. Prosecution Service and has funnelled money toward court service enhancements. As for the city's part in all of this, the DVBA is asking for an increased police presence downtown. It also wants to see sidewalk bylaws enforced more strictly, preventing people from camping along city streets. Victoria's mayor said the city is launching a community safety plan soon, which will address both of those concerns. 'I'm not particularly surprised and I'm actually pleased to see that we're sort of harmonious on the fact that we do want to have additional policing,' Marianne Alto said. 'Although I'm not at liberty to go into the details of it yet, you would not be surprised to see some similar concepts in the community safety plan when it's finally released.' The bright side Eleven per cent of downtown storefronts are vacant, up from about 3 per cent in 2019, the DVBA says. That doesn't mean downtown is without new additions. The owners of the Little Plant Shop moved their business from Edmonton to downtown Victoria a year-and-a-half ago. 'We're still building our following here, so we've been making money, but we could definitely be busier. Now that the locals are discovering us, it's picking up,' co-owner Eric Gibson told CTV Vancouver Island. He and his partner were drawn to the core because they wanted to be surrounded by local shops and take advantage of foot traffic. Much of that traffic comes from tourists – an industry that's been thriving in recent months. Depending on the day, Gibson sees between 20 to 200 customers come into the store on Johnson and Broad Street. 'If there were more free parking days, I think we would see more local traffic,' he said. Still, he's optimistic about the future of the business. 'There is a lot of support so far. I think everybody here… loves plants and we have a lot of unusual plants and our expertise kind of sets us apart from the other shops,' he said.

Mustang Energy Commences an Airborne Survey at Spur Project South of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the ' Company ' or ' Mustang ') is pleased to announce that it has initiated an Aerial Electromagnetic Survey (Xcite™ TDEM) with Radiometrics over the Spur Project (the ' Project ') located south of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The Project is located in a favorable region prospective for uranium, rare earth elements (REEs), and base metal mineralization. The Xcite™ TDEM survey with Radiometrics will be flown by Axiom Exploration Group. The airborne survey will encompass the portion of the claim package covering approximately 10,000 hectares which has not been covered by modern day electromagnetic (EM) survey techniques. The airborne survey aims to precisely locate EM and radiometric anomalies, and aid in geological interpretations on the property advancing exploration targeting. About Xcite™ TDEM Xcite™ is a new generation of helicopter-borne time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) systems developed by New Resolution Geophysics (NRG™). Axiom is an exclusive provider of this service in North America. This state-of-the-art technology provides an efficient alternative to prior TDEM technologies for mineral exploration. The system utilizes a patented inflatable transmitter loop with a diameter of approximately 20 meters, suspended about 30 meters below the helicopter. The Xcite™ system offers improved signal clarity, enabling the detection of subtle subsurface features. It features a programmable waveform with a fast turn-off time, allowing for flexibility in data acquisition and improved resolution of both shallow and deep targets. About the Spur Project The Project comprises ten claims covering 23,680 hectares. It is located just south of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, a region globally renowned for its high-grade uranium deposits. The property is approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Cameco's Key Lake Mill Operation and 20 kilometers southwest of Skyharbour Resources/Terra Clean Energy's Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit (Figure 1). The Project's geological setting combines Proterozoic basement rocks of the Wollaston Group and uraniferous pegmatites 1, presenting potential for uranium, thorium and rare earth element (REE) exploration. The Project offers lower cost exploration due to the absence of Athabasca Sandstone cover. Adjacent properties host high-grade surface grab samples including the Pipe Lake Showing with up to 8.0% U₃O₈ (sample # R69-10) 2 within a hornblende-rich pegmatite 2.5 km northeast of the Project boundary. 2 The Red October Showing, east of the Project boundary, shows grab sample assays of up to 1.93% U (sample # JBELR063) 3 within syenite, and an outcrop chip sample through semipelitic gneiss showing 1.34% U (sample # AGELR008) 3 over 1 meter.
