Is Gignac to blame? Tchouaméni mixes up Rayados and Tigres
Is Gignac to blame? Tchouaméni mixes up Rayados and Tigres Aurélien Tchouaméni opened a new chapter in the rivalry between Rayados and Tigres, by showing his knowledge of Mexican football. Prior to the match against Pachuca in the Club World Cup, the Real Madrid player showed confidence when talking about Liga MX teams, but confused Rayados with Tigres, was it Gignac's fault? "I know Monterrey with Gignac and Thauvin too", he mentioned. Advertisement Although his words were taken with humor by many, for others it was a reason for mockery due to the absence of Tigres in the World Cup and there are even those who claimed that it was the city where the felines originated.

Province says it will fund training and maintenance for Windsor police helicopter
The province has disclosed some more details about a helicopter the government is buying for Windsor police amid questions from city officials about the aircraft's cost to local taxpayers and stated border security mandate. On May 15, Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government unveiled its 2025 budget, which includes $57 million to purchase two new Airbus H-135 helicopters — one for Niagara regional police, and one for Windsor police. The aircraft are meant to help municipal law enforcement "with increased patrols, security, and enforcement at key entry points at the U.S. border," according to the budget. On Monday, the province told CBC Windsor that it will be covering some of the costs associated with the new equipment. "Our government is ensuring police services have the tools they need to protect our borders and keep our communities safe — This includes supporting the Windsor Police Service with a new H-135 helicopter," wrote Dakota Moniz, director of communications for Ontario Solicitor General Michael Kerzner. "In addition to the new helicopter, we will provide funding to the police service to hire and train tactical flight officers, and support the Ontario Provincial Police, who will provide maintenance for the helicopter upon its arrival in 2027," Moniz stated. As Monday evening, Moniz had not responded to follow-up questions regarding how much the province would be providing, and whether those amounts are included in the original $57-million investment. Windsor city councillor Jo-Anne Gignac, who chairs the Windsor Police Services Board, has expressed concerns about the costs associated with operating and maintaining a helicopter. "I think for the people of Windsor to have to assume the cost of operating a helicopter is naturally concerning," Gignac told CBC after the announcement. WATCH: Ontario budget promises new police helicopter for Windsor After a meeting of the Windsor Police Services Board last week, Gignac said the city was still awaiting details from the province about the helicopter. "We still don't have the information that we need to be able to sign an agreement in terms of that tool," Gignac said. "And it is a tool. It's a tool that I appreciate the premier has thought that it might be a positive thing." There have also been questions whether it's the role of a municipal police service to patrol the international border — which is normally a federal responsibility. "It's just getting to the point where downloading of different responsibilities that were never part of our municipal responsibilities are coming left and right," Gignac said. "And so we have to be very careful." Both the Canadian and Ontario governments have implemented new border security measures in response to criticisms from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has claimed that fentanyl smuggling from Canada justifies imposition of tariffs on Canadian goods — despite data showing that the vast majority of fentanyl enters the U.S. from Mexico. In an effort to appease Trump, Ottawa announced in December that it would spend $1.3 billion on beefing up border security — which includes having the RCMP patrol the border with leased Black Hawk helicopters. The Windsor detachment of the RCMP declined an interview request on Monday and did not respond to questions about coordinating with the coming Windsor police helicopter patrol. There's some precedent for the province's new police helicopters. Ford's government previously said it was spending $134 million on five helicopters for police in Ottawa and the Toronto area. The latest announcement "builds on" that investment, the budget says, adding that the new aircraft "will help protect Ontario's borders and keep highways and roadways safe from violent carjackings, auto theft, street racing, and impaired driving."

New report casts doubt on potential revival of Quebec LNG project
Reviving a liquefied natural gas export project in Quebec's Saguenay region would be costly and likely unprofitable, a shareholder advocacy group says, as economic threats from the U.S. rekindle interest across the country in new pipelines. Demand for LNG in Europe dropped by 18 per cent between 2022 and 2024, and Canadian exports would have a hard time competing in Asian markets, says advocacy group Investors for Paris Compliance. 'Investing in infrastructure that will be very expensive and likely won't be profitable will weaken our economy rather than strengthen it,' Renaud Gignac, an economist and senior adviser for the group, said in an interview. In a report published Thursday, Gignac notes LNG production is expected to grow by 40 per cent from 2024 to 2028, driven by projects in the United States and Qatar, and demand is not expected to keep pace. Story continues below advertisement 'This is significant,' Gignac said …. What this means is that the profitability of any new project is compromised because we risk seeing downward pressure on prices.'

Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy A project to transport natural gas from Western Canada to an export terminal in Quebec's Saguenay region was cancelled in 2021 due to environmental risks and public opposition. But Quebec Premier François Legault has recently opened the door to pipeline development in the province, saying Quebecers recognize the importance of reducing the country's dependence on energy exports to the U.S. The advocacy group says inflation could balloon the project's price tag to more than $33 billion, and public money would likely be required. 'These are considerable investments that mobilize public capital and labour as well,' said Gignac, a climate policy analyst. 'When you direct resources to this type of project, you make choices, and we believe there are options that could be more profitable in the long term, for both public and private investors.' U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to impose punishing tariffs on Canadian exports have ignited public debate on the utility of a trans-Canadian pipeline to ship oil or gas overseas. Prime Minister Mark Carney and Quebec's Legault are among those who've chimed in on re-evaluating pipeline projects. 'As initial panic subsides following the Trump administration's tariff threats, a calmer analysis of the East Coast LNG projects show that they carry significant risks for potential investors and taxpayers,' says the report. Story continues below advertisement The analysis did not address the potential revival of an west-east oil pipeline project like Energy East, abandoned by TransCanada in 2017, which would have crossed through Quebec to New Brunswick. But Gignac says the conclusions of such an analysis would be similar. 'There is an imminent forecast of peak demand,' he said. Gignac considers reviving pipeline projects to be 'a false solution' to making the Canadian economy more resilient. The group said there are better ways to stimulate the Canadian economy, including integrating provincial electricity grids and mining critical minerals, which are key for the electrification of transportation and will be needed elsewhere in energy transition. His group's support for mining, however, puts the association at odds with some environmentalists. 'Mining is certainly not without environmental impact,' Gignac said. 'So we will also have to look at the most responsible ways to extract these minerals and bring them to market.' The report also identifies the federal government's plans to build a high-speed train linking Quebec City, Montreal, and Toronto as a promising project.
