Budget 2025: Ottawa to slash foreign aid spending to pre-pandemic levels – National

The Carney government says it is cutting foreign aid spending to a level in line with Canada’s pre-pandemic aid allocations — without specifying the size of this year’s aid budget. Tuesday’s budget forecasts $2.7 billion in cuts over four years, which will affect things like global health projects. Ottawa is also withdrawing some support for a world-renowned aid research centre.“There will be reductions in development funding to global health programming, where Canada’s contribution has grown disproportionately relative to other similar economies,” the budget document says.It’s not clear where the aid cuts will land. The budget talks of “leveraging innovative tools, while focusing support for countries that need it the most” and rejigging existing agreements with specific countries.The bud...

Budget 2025: No commitment on emissions in Canada’s new climate strategy – National

The federal government’s climate competitiveness strategy promises a stronger industrial carbon pricing system and the prospect of ending the emissions cap on oil and gas production to drive more investments in clean growth. But the strategy, outlined in the federal budget on Tuesday, was short on details — and offered no update on where Canada stands on its 2030 and 2035 emission reduction targets. 2:37 Canada budget 2025: Carney’s ‘generational budget’ brings nearly $80 billion deficit That’s despite assurances from federal ministers in recent months that the competitiveness plan would shed light on Canada’s commitments.

Carney’s 1st budget aims to balance ‘generational’ spending with cuts – National

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget is being billed by the government as a “generational” investment in Canadian infrastructure and productivity in a time of “rupture” in global trade and the international order. The question now is whether Carney’s decision to simultaneously run a sizeable deficit while slashing public service jobs will find support among opposition parties, or send Canadians to a second general election this year.“The speed, scope and scale of change that we’re seeing in Canada and around the world is quite unprecedented,” said Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne in an Ottawa news conference Tuesday.“This is not a transformation. This is a generational shift, and we need to meet this moment with generational investment. To weather the storm of uncertainty,...

Ford says trade negotiation ‘falls on’ federal government after commercial controversy

Ontario Premier Doug Ford appears to be falling in line behind Prime Minister Mark Carney as the federal government asserts its authority over high-stakes trade talks with the Trump administration. Ford and Carney have been at odds over Ontario’s anti-tariff commercial featuring Ronald Reagan’s stance on protectionism, which raised the ire of the U.S. president and led to the suspension of tariff negotiations.Carney, who apologized to Trump for the commercial, has underlined his expectation that the federal government would be responsible for the negotiations — a signal to Canada’s premiers to avoid actions that would interfere in the discussions.“It is the sole responsibility of the government of Canada to have those discussions with the United States, and it’s the best way forward,” Carn...

Parts of U.S. airspace may close if government shutdown drags on: official – National

Parts of U.S. airspace could be shut down as soon as next week if the U.S. government shutdown drags on and air traffic controllers continue to not get paid, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on Tuesday. There have been growing flight delays and cancellations across the U.S. because of a shortage of air traffic controllers, creating safety concerns that force the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to slow down or temporarily stop traffic.Duffy said those workers are being forced to make difficult choices to keep feeding their families the longer the shutdown lasts, and said there could be “mass chaos” after air traffic controllers miss their second paycheque next Tuesday.“You will see mass flight delays, you’ll see mass cancellations, and you may see us close certain parts ...

Apple Just Changed How You Turn Off Your iPhone Alarms

If you've been an iPhone user for a long time, you might remember "slide to unlock." When you wanted to use your iPhone, you had to physically move your finger along the screen to actually unlock the device. It was a clever way of ensuring than your iPhone didn't unlock in your pocket, or due to an accidental touch. With iOS 10, Apple killed slide to unlock in favor of pressing the Home button, then later swiping up on the bottom of the screen. Since then, for the better part of a decade, swiping right on the Lock Screen simply takes you to the "Today View," which contains your widgets. Change is good, and I don't necessarily think Apple should bring back slide to unlock for the Lock Screen, but sometimes, I miss how things worked on my old iPhone 3GS. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. To my ...
