As Canada prepares to co-host the FIFA World Cup 2026™, federal officials are continuing to build international partnerships aimed at ensuring the tournament leaves a lasting legacy both on and off the field.

The Honourable Adam van Koeverden, Secretary of State (Sport) and Canada’s FIFA Sherpa, took part in a series of meetings and events in New York this week ahead of World Football Day on May 25.

The engagements focused on strengthening collaboration between host nations, promoting the economic and social opportunities connected to the tournament, and reinforcing the role sport can play in diplomacy and international cooperation.

During a World Football Day event held at the United Nations, van Koeverden joined representatives from Canada’s co-host nations, Mexico and the United States, alongside officials from Morocco, Portugal and Spain, which will host the next FIFA World Cup. The gathering highlighted football’s ability to unite people across cultures and borders while encouraging dialogue, inclusion and youth engagement through sport.

Van Koeverden also participated in a trilateral discussion with Gabriela Cuevas, Mexico’s Representative to the FIFA World Cup, and Andrew Giuliani, Executive Director of the White House FIFA Task Force. The discussions centered on tournament preparedness, regional coordination and the long-term legacy of what officials described as a historic partnership between Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The Secretary of State additionally met with local organizers in New York to discuss event delivery and coordination efforts ahead of the tournament. Conversations were also held with representatives from Qatar, host of the most recent FIFA World Cup, focusing on the long-term impacts major sporting events can have on communities and international relations.

In a statement, van Koeverden said the tournament represents more than just soccer.

“The FIFA World Cup 2026 is a unique opportunity to bring people together across borders, cultures and languages. As co-host, Canada is working closely with the United States, Mexico and partners at home and abroad to support a safe, welcoming and successful tournament that showcases Canada to the world and creates lasting benefits beyond the field of play.”

The FIFA World Cup 2026 will run from June 11 to July 19, 2026, and is expected to be the largest tournament in FIFA history. The competition will feature 48 national teams playing 104 matches across 16 host cities throughout Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The tournament will also mark the first time the FIFA World Cup has been hosted jointly by three countries.

According to the federal government, Canada, Mexico and the United States continue to collaborate on shared priorities including transportation, border management and security in preparation for the global event.

Soccer remains Canada’s largest participatory sport and is also considered one of the country’s fastest-growing sports, connecting communities from grassroots leagues to the international stage.

Canada has previously hosted several major international sporting events, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™, the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.

The federal and Alberta governments have announced a landmark implementation agreement aimed at expanding Canada’s energy exports, reducing emissions and strengthening the economy through new infrastructure, carbon market reforms and electricity investments.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith made the announcement in Calgary on May 15, outlining what both governments describe as a cooperative approach to balancing economic growth with environmental goals.

The agreement builds on a Memorandum of Understanding signed in November 2025 and focuses on three major priorities: strengthening carbon markets, expanding clean and reliable electricity generation, and improving access to international energy markets.

Carbon Pricing and Emissions Reductions

As part of the agreement, Canada and Alberta have committed to gradually increasing the effective carbon price to $130 per tonne by 2040, with interim benchmarks of $115 by 2030 and $130 by 2035. The headline carbon price is expected to reach $140 per tonne by 2040.

The governments also agreed to tighten emissions benchmarks under Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system and establish a minimum floor price for TIER credits beginning in 2030. Officials say the measures are intended to prevent carbon markets from weakening while giving investors greater certainty for long-term projects.

In addition, Canada and Alberta will jointly issue 75 million tonnes of Carbon Contracts for Difference (CFDs), with costs split equally between both governments. The CFDs are designed to encourage investment in emissions-reduction technology and clean energy initiatives.

Federal officials say the broader goal is to create more credible and stable carbon markets while keeping Canada on track toward net-zero emissions by 2050.

Expanding Electricity Infrastructure

The agreement also includes plans to significantly expand Alberta’s electricity grid by 2050.

Both governments say they will work toward increasing electricity generation through a mix of nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal and lower-emission energy sources while maintaining grid reliability.

A joint Electricity Working Group will be established to identify projects and technologies needed to modernize Alberta’s power system and support future economic growth, including the increasing energy demands tied to artificial intelligence and data centres.

The federal government also confirmed support for major upgrades to electricity systems across Canada through its proposed National Electricity Strategy.

Proposed Pipeline to Asian Markets

One of the most significant components of the agreement involves a proposed bitumen pipeline intended to transport at least one million barrels of lower-emission Alberta bitumen per day to Asian markets.

Under the agreement, Alberta will submit a formal proposal for the pipeline project by July 1, 2026. The federal government has indicated it will consider designating the project as being in the national interest under the Building Canada Act by Oct. 1, 2026.

The project would remain subject to consultation requirements with Indigenous communities and further engagement with British Columbia.

Officials say the proposed pipeline is tied closely to the Pathways Project, a large-scale carbon capture, utilization and storage initiative expected to reduce emissions by 16 million tonnes annually while generating billions in economic activity and thousands of jobs.

Leaders Highlight Investment Certainty

In a statement, Carney said the agreement demonstrates that Canada and Alberta are working together to create a more resilient and sustainable economy while streamlining major project approvals.

Smith said the deal sends a strong signal to investors that Alberta and Canada are committed to expanding infrastructure, increasing market access and supporting long-term investment in the province’s energy sector.

The agreement also builds on earlier 2026 deals between Canada and Alberta aimed at creating a “one project, one review” process intended to speed up approvals for major infrastructure developments while maintaining environmental protections and Indigenous consultation requirements.

According to the federal government, the Major Projects Office is currently supporting 22 projects across sectors including nuclear energy, LNG, critical minerals and transportation infrastructure, representing more than $126 billion in proposed investments nationwide.

Brad with his three amazing sons, Keanan, Brennan and Aaron

One of the most influential people in my life would have to be Brad. He first came into my world when I was six years old, a time when there was a lot going on for us. But almost like a TV show, he appeared and suddenly the world started to make sense.

He would become my brother-in-law and give my big sister three amazing sons, along with decades of love and care, until he was called home in 2014. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about something he taught me, or stop myself from doing something I know he told me not to do.

Every so often, I would be sitting watching TV and feel a light smack upside the head. Looking up, I would see Brad grinning at me. “What did I do?” I would ask.

Still smiling, he would reply, “It’s not what you did — it’s what you didn’t do.”

I would breathe a sigh of relief because that meant he hadn’t caught me doing what I actually wasn’t supposed to be doing.

One particular day, he had some deliveries to make and asked if I wanted to go with him. This was always a favourite of mine because it didn’t matter where we were going — it was guaranteed to be a riot.

The place in question was somewhere he had been before, and he needed to stop at another location nearby. We found the first place with ease and figured we would be back home after a very short voyage.

We were mistaken.

Reaching a fork in the road, we stopped to ask for directions. An older gentleman walking with his cow was very polite and assured us the place we were looking for was very close by.

Following his directions, we travelled for what felt like an hour. We hadn’t missed any turns because there weren’t any, apart from the occasional curve in the road.

“How close is close?” I finally asked, beginning to worry we were lost.

“I was thinking the same thing,” Brad replied. “Let’s ask someone else.”

We continued on until we spotted another person. The young man we encountered was equally friendly and helpful.

“Yes, I know the place,” he said. “But eish, it is very far.”

We thanked him and carried on, now more confused than ever. The first man said it was close, the second said it was far. Who was right? More importantly — where were we?

We decided to start asking everyone we saw. Surely someone would know this place and be able to give us proper directions. Yet every answer was some variation of either “close” or “far,” without any actual indication of distance.

After hours of following the directions of countless strangers, both of us exhausted and ready to abandon the quest entirely, we spotted another young man walking along the side of the road. We figured one more attempt couldn’t hurt.

“Eish brothers,” he said after we explained where we were trying to go. “You are on the right road, but you are going the wrong way. You need to turn around.”

He smiled and walked off.

“No!” Brad snapped. “Absolutely not! We have been on this road for three hours. There is NO way I am turning around and going back the way we came. I don’t care — I’m staying on this road and I am NOT turning around!”

More confused than ever, I was still more inclined to trust Brad’s judgement than anyone else we had encountered that day.

So we continued on, steam practically rising from our collars in frustration at the runaround we had received.

Then we saw it.

Not a hundred metres away from our last “guide.”

“Is that it?” I asked, almost unsure whether I was seeing a mirage.

“You have got to be kidding me,” Brad groaned, though there was obvious relief in his voice as we finally pulled up to the building.

He went inside while I got out to stretch my legs.

Minutes later, he returned and we jumped back into the van.

Now we faced our newest dilemma — which way should we go home?

After a few minutes of discussion, we decided not to go back the way we came. Instead, we continued along the road we had arrived on, heading in the same direction and silently hoping this would not become another endless adventure.

Much to both our delight and exasperation, within two minutes we rejoined the highway and were on our way home.

The best part came just before we turned onto the highway. We noticed a map on the roadside highlighting the path we had travelled. The road was one giant circle. If we had gone the other way from the start, we would have reached our destination in minutes.

We laughed about it all the way home.

But to this day, I am grateful we went the wrong way, because even now, that remains one of my favourite memories — simply because it was spent with someone who meant the world to me.

“Alberta has an enormous opportunity to bring together world-class medical innovators with the world-leading AI expertise at Amii,” Glubish said. “Together, they can develop new technologies that reduce wait times, expand the capacity of our health care system, and deliver new therapies, diagnostics and treatments that save lives and strengthen care for Albertans.”

Projects funded through the Health Innovation Lab will be selected through proposal submissions to Amii, with challenge calls aligned to provincial health-care priorities identified by the Alberta government.

Amii CEO Cam Linke said the program will help move Alberta-made AI research into real-world clinical use.

“Through the Health Innovation Lab, Amii is bridging excellence in research with excellence in care,” Linke said. “By translating our world-leading AI into clinical tools, we are empowering clinicians and patients to achieve an outsized impact.”

The Alberta government says its health-care system will serve as the first testing ground for these technologies, with hopes the innovations could eventually be adopted internationally, creating additional economic opportunities for the province.

The initiative is being delivered in collaboration with Alberta’s Ministry of Primary and Preventative Health Services and the Ministry of Hospital and Surgical Health Services. Officials say the program will include safeguards to ensure secure access to health data and compliance with Alberta privacy legislation.

Minister of Hospital and Surgical Health Services Matt Jones emphasized the importance of reliable data in strengthening health-care decisions.

“Clear, reliable data is essential to informed decision-making in the health care system, and this project delivers exactly that,” Jones said.

Minister of Primary and Preventative Health Services Adriana LaGrange added that responsible AI investment will help prepare Alberta for the future of health care.

“By investing in innovation and the responsible use of AI, we can strengthen our health system and ensure Alberta is ready to lead in the next generation of health care,” LaGrange said.

The province says the investment further strengthens Alberta’s growing reputation as a leader in artificial intelligence research, application and commercialization.

Alberta’s government is investing $21 million into a new initiative aimed at helping local companies expand into Canada’s growing defence industry while creating jobs and driving long-term economic growth across the province.

The new program, known as the Dual-Use Ecosystem for Future Engineering, National Defence and Sovereignty (DEFENDS), will be led by the University of Alberta and is designed to connect Alberta businesses, post-secondary institutions and the Canadian Armed Forces to speed up the development and certification of defence technologies.

According to the province, many Alberta companies already produce advanced technologies for sectors such as energy, environmental monitoring and construction. Through DEFENDS, those businesses will be able to adapt existing products for defence applications without having to rebuild operations from scratch.

Alberta Minister of Technology and Innovation Nate Glubish said the initiative will help open new opportunities for local manufacturers and innovators.

“Alberta companies already build some of the best technology in the country, they just haven't had a streamlined path into defence markets,” Glubish said in a statement.

The initiative will make use of several advanced research facilities already operating at the University of Alberta, including the Centre for Applied Research in Defence and Dual-Use Technologies, nanoFAB, and one of only two North Atlantic Treaty Organization Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) Test Centres located at a Canadian university.

Three new secure facilities will also be constructed as part of the project. The facilities are expected to support advanced manufacturing testing, microchip and communications development, and radar and wireless technology evaluation.

Alberta Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration Joseph Schow said the province is well positioned to become a major player in Canada’s defence industry.

“With access to talent, technology, and land, DEFENDS will help companies become even more competitive options for defence-related investment,” Schow said.

The project will also involve several Alberta post-secondary institutions, including the University of Calgary, Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, alongside rural college networks across the province.

Officials say the program is expected to support more than 8,000 jobs over the next decade, assist more than 200 Alberta companies and generate more than $7 billion in gross domestic product growth.

The province noted that Alberta is already home to key military and research sites including Canadian Forces Base Edmonton, 4 Wing Cold Lake and Defence Research and Development Canada Suffield, positioning Alberta as a strategic hub for future defence innovation and aerospace development.

The proud new parents with their fur babies

Like many, I have been eagerly awaiting this day. I thought I would be excited, but to be honest, my vocabulary is not nearly extensive enough to capture what I feel right now.

After several months of waiting, our little miracle has finally arrived safe and sound, and Momma Bear is healthy as well.

To Keanan and Onay—thank you for allowing us to share in this magical moment and for bringing a new ray of light into our world. I am certain in my heart that you will be amazing parents.

Keanan, every time I see you, you remind me more and more of your father, a man I still look to for guidance to this day. For me and so many others, he was a rock—the one you could turn to when “it” hit the fan.

Having watched you grow up and become a man, having had the honour of attending your wedding, and then hearing the news that you were expecting, I found myself overwhelmed as memories played back through time.

I am certain that as you step into fatherhood, you will meet it with the same zeal and energy that will carry you to excel naturally.

Onay, from the moment Keanan first introduced you to the family, it was clear he had made a beautiful choice. It has been a privilege watching your relationship grow, and now, as you enter this new chapter, I know in my heart you will be an incredible mother. Your loving and caring nature shines through in the way you treat everyone around you.

Together, you are a powerhouse—truly a match made of strength and grace—and the perfect parents to raise your wonderful child. Grounded in Christ and building a home rooted in Godly values, I have no doubt your child will grow surrounded by love, guidance, and purpose.

To my dear little one—you bring so many firsts. You are Mum and Dad’s first great-grandchild, the first grandchild on both sides of the family, and the first niece for many others. Not to mention, you’ve made me a granddad at 42. (I already got my rocking chair, pipe and suspenders picked out!)

My point is simple: you bring renewed hope into all of our lives. We look forward to the treasured memories we will create and the magical moments we will share.

Today and always, I am grateful to be blessed with you in my life. And one day, when you are able to read this, I hope you come across it and know that you have been loved deeply from the very beginning—and always will be.

Not every getaway requires plane tickets, expensive hotels or weeks of planning. Increasingly, people are discovering the value of “mini escapes” — small breaks from routine that help recharge the mind without travelling far from home.

In a time when many families are carefully watching expenses, the idea of a quick local adventure has become more appealing than ever. A drive along the coast, an afternoon at the beach, a picnic in the park or even visiting a nearby town for the day can provide the same refreshing feeling as a larger vacation.

The beauty of mini escapes lies in their simplicity. They remind people that a change of scenery does not always have to come with a hefty price tag. Sometimes all it takes is stepping away from daily routines for a few hours to return feeling refreshed and re-energized.

Many people have become so focused on work, responsibilities and schedules that they forget how important it is to occasionally pause and enjoy life. Even short breaks can help reduce stress levels and improve overall well-being. Mental health professionals often point out that rest is not a luxury — it is an important part of maintaining balance.

Mini escapes can also help people rediscover places they may have overlooked for years. Local beaches, hiking trails, markets, museums and small cafés often hold hidden charm that gets ignored simply because they are close to home. Tourists frequently appreciate attractions locals barely notice anymore.

Families are also embracing the concept as a way to spend meaningful time together without major expenses. A simple outing can create lasting memories, especially for children who often value time and attention more than extravagant experiences.

Technology has played a surprising role in the popularity of mini escapes as well. After spending long hours connected to screens, many people are craving opportunities to unplug and experience the real world again. Whether it is sitting beside the ocean, watching a sunset or enjoying a quiet meal outdoors, these moments offer a chance to slow down and reconnect.

There is also growing appreciation for spontaneity. Unlike large vacations that require months of preparation, mini escapes can happen almost anytime. A free Saturday afternoon or a sunny morning may be all the invitation needed.

Of course, not every escape needs to involve travel at all. Some people create mini escapes right at home by dedicating time to relaxation, hobbies or simply enjoying a peaceful evening away from the pressures of daily life.

In the end, mini escapes serve as a reminder that joy does not always require grand plans or distant destinations. Sometimes, the best way to recharge is simply to step away from routine for a little while and appreciate the world that already surrounds us.

Most of us, at one point or another, have faced the gnawing feeling that maybe we are not good enough. Well-thought-out plans to write a book, start a business, or undertake a new project sometimes get crushed long before they are given a chance to gain momentum. Much of this is the result of self-doubt. Often, if we were to follow through and push past the initial hiccups, we would find the drive to continue building on our ideas and ambitions.

But what is self-doubt? Where does it come from, and how can we reduce its effects in our lives? While these may seem like simple questions, the answers are often different from person to person. We all have things about ourselves that we are self-conscious about — something we feel disqualifies us from reaching the goals we aspire to. However, these limitations are often largely imagined, and determination becomes the key to moving beyond what we believe is impossible toward what we can achieve with confidence.

One inspiring example that comes to mind is Walt Disney. What many people do not know is that Walt was once fired from a newspaper job because an editor believed he lacked imagination. Yet that same man would go on to create some of the most beloved characters and stories in history.

Similarly, Bill Gates was largely dismissed when he first introduced the idea behind Windows. There are countless examples of people who faced moments that could have broken them down, but instead chose to believe in themselves and their vision.

Things You Can Do to Help Silence the Negative Voices

• Take time to reflect on your goal:

Whatever your goal may be, it is important to keep it in the foreground of your mind. This way, even when setbacks arise, you remain focused on where you want to go rather than becoming discouraged by temporary obstacles.

• Break the goal down into stages:

Sometimes dreams feel overwhelming because they appear insurmountable. Running a marathon can seem impossible, but jogging around the block is achievable. You do not have to accomplish everything at once. Simply starting — and remaining consistent — can amount to tremendous progress over time. As the saying goes, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

• Celebrate the small victories:

Every achievement, even those that may seem small or insignificant, can be a sign of growth and should be appreciated. If someone is working on a novel and suddenly faces writer’s block or moments of doubt, reflecting on the progress already made can provide encouragement and renewed motivation to continue.

Self-doubt is something most — if not all — of us face regularly. But the truth is that we have always been enough, and much of what we need to accomplish our goals already exists within us. Deep inside each of us is an unquenchable fire and a tenacity that reminds us that we are capable of far more than we often believe. When we learn to trust ourselves and keep moving forward, even in uncertainty, incredible things can happen.

Alberta’s government has reinstated the emergency use of two per cent liquid strychnine in parts of the province as an additional tool to help producers manage Richardson’s ground squirrel populations while emphasizing strict environmental stewardship and safety measures.

The emergency approval, granted by the federal Pesticides Regulatory Directorate in partnership with Alberta and Saskatchewan, allows producers in 49 municipalities to use the rodenticide until November 1, 2027. The product will not be permitted in urban areas or on acreages.

Provincial officials say the reinstatement is aimed at helping producers protect livestock, pastureland and agricultural livelihoods from damage caused by ground squirrel infestations, while balancing concerns surrounding wildlife, pets and species at risk.

Under the new stewardship program, producers are encouraged to first adopt Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies before turning to strychnine use. Recommended methods include encouraging natural predators such as coyotes, weasels and badgers, maintaining taller pasture vegetation to discourage settlement, and using trapping or hunting where practical.

Government guidelines state that strychnine should only be considered when other management approaches have proven ineffective. Producers using the product will be required to follow strict application procedures designed to reduce risks to non-target wildlife, particularly birds of prey and scavengers.

The province also confirmed that the product is not yet available in Alberta, although an initial shipment is expected by late May or early June in limited quantities, with additional supplies anticipated throughout the summer.

Distribution will be tightly controlled through agricultural fieldmen in approved municipalities. Producers wishing to use the rodenticide must first complete mandatory training, currently offered through the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities until August 1.

Additional requirements for producers include submitting an infestation declaration form, demonstrating existing pest management efforts, providing a treatment plan, monitoring treated areas and properly disposing of carcasses, bait and unused product.

Warning signage must also be posted in treated areas to alert neighbouring landowners and land users.

Officials warned that misuse of two per cent liquid strychnine could lead to enforcement action and fines under provincial and federal legislation, including Alberta’s Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the Wildlife Act, and the federal Pest Control Products Act.

Albertans are also encouraged to report suspected misuse, improper handling or environmental impacts linked to pesticide use through Alberta Environment and Protected Areas.

More information regarding Richardson’s ground squirrel control and stewardship requirements is available through Alberta’s agricultural resources.
