China Says It Faces Espionage Risk From Sea Turtles and Fish

China’s Ministry of State Security would like its citizens to be on the lookout for foreign spies, including, apparently, turtles.

The ministry claimed in a Friday WeChat post that foreign intelligence agencies were harvesting maritime data “through a variety of new spying devices” from the waters around China. Sensors attached to marine animals such as sea turtles and large fish were allegedly discovered “collecting sensitive marine environment data such as water temperature, salinity and ocean currents in real time, and transmitting them overseas via satellite.”

CHARLEBOIS: Ottawa’s food plan has promise, but it lacks a clear vision for competitiveness

The federal government’s new National Food Security Strategy, valued at roughly $3.2 billion over ten years, is one of the most significant food policy announcements in recent memory. It signals that Ottawa finally recognizes what Canadians have been experiencing for years: food affordability matters, supply chains matter, and domestic food production matters.

Iran’s Regime Is Irreformable: Time to End It Once and For All

We have seen in the last few weeks — and for the last 47 years — that Iran’s regime is not one with which any responsible actor should seek a deal. Iran’s rulers might sign a piece of paper — as Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat did with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin with the 1993 Oslo Accord – but, like the PLO, its fundamental goals will not change.

Iran’s regime is fundamentally revolutionary. It seized power in 1979 with an identity rooted in anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, and the suppression of Iranians seeking liberty. This identity defines it. Even if individual figures shift or new “moderates” appear at the negotiating table, the underlying revolutionary structure endures. The regime cannot abandon “Death to America” or “Death to Israel” without dissolving its own reason for being. Leaving it in place only ensures that it will dig its hooks in even deeper — especially after President Donald J. Trump leaves office and his successor possibly turns to interests more enjoyable than “enforcement.”

RCMP allege former Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek aided planner in reviving rejected rezoning application

The RCMP is seeking access to messages and photos on a cellphone belonging to former Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek as part of a corruption investigation that’s probing whether a planning consultant offered to pay city councillors in exchange for helping a rezoning application get passed, court documents show.

Federal Mounties publicly disclosed the investigation involving Ms. Gondek and David White – principal of CivicWorks, a company that helps developers navigate city hall – in a June 2 application to the Alberta Court of Justice that requests the extension of a warrant allowing investigators to keep the former mayor’s iPhone in police detention.

Germany’s Big LNG Deal With Canada May Never Deliver a Single Cargo

The Iran war has made supplies of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, the most strategic since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Suddenly, countries are scrambling to get their hands on molecules that provide reliable baseload power to industries and homes.

That explains why Germany is buying LNG from Canada. It’s to ensure long-term energy security, reduce reliance on volatile global supplies, and diversify away from Middle Eastern and Russian energy markets.

From late night to Star Wars: the Left’s entertainment collapse

The past few months have not been good for left-wing entertainment, with self-inflicted injuries tearing down successful and prominent figures and shows in the public consciousness.

One such self-inflicted wound involved Amazon’s hit show The Boys, a cynical take on superheroes that quickly became one of the biggest shows in popular culture. Early on, the show satirized politics, corporations, celebrities, and, yes, social justice movements. It was clever, graphic, and undoubtedly a hit.

DND says $1M spent on in-flight meals for CANFORCE ONE, but numbers don’t add up

OTTAWA — Just as Prime Minister Mark Carney touches down in Paris to begin another overseas trip, newly released documents show the Department of National Defence spent nearly $ 1 million on in-flight catering aboard CANFORCE ONE during the PM’s first 12 months in office — but questions remain on the accuracy of those numbers.

US-Iran deal scheduled to be signed on Sunday, says Trump

A deal to end fighting between the US and Iran is “scheduled to get signed” on Sunday, US President Donald Trump has said – but Iran has cast doubt on the timing.

In a post on social media, Trump also said the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, would be “open to all” following the deal.

Earlier Pakistan, a key mediator, said finalisation of the deal was expected within 24 hours and they were “preparing for the electronic signing”.

Carney is all-in on industrial policy. It’s a bad bet

By now, it’s clear the Carney government’s approach to economic development amounts to an all-in bet on industrial policy, a fad that has picked up steam globally. The thinking goes like this: the state chooses the right sectors and firms, directs capital and support to them, and builds a stronger economy from the top down. But a popular idea isn’t necessarily a good one.

Ottawa is betting big regardless.

Saab’s surveillance jet deal with Canada faces a U.S. stealth tech hurdle

Canada’s planned purchase of the Saab GlobalEye surveillance jet faces significant political and technical hurdles if the aircraft is going to be fully integrated into NORAD.

Much of the success or failure of the effort will depend on convincing the Trump administration and the Pentagon to share a key piece of technology that allows fighter jets and early warning systems to communicate while maintaining stealth.

Experts doubt the United States will allow a high-tech data link used exclusively on F-35 fighters to be installed on either the early warning aircraft or the Gripen-E — if Canada chooses to buy that warplane.

Everyone Loves Chinese Cars, Except the Chinese

The world is applauding the latest Chinese vehicles and sales are surging almost everywhere the cars are available. The one exception: China itself.

New-car sales in China, the world’s largest new-vehicle market, fell 22% in May compared with the same month a year earlier to around 1.5 million vehicles. That was the eighth straight month of year-over-year declines, according to the China Passenger Car Association. Year-to-date car sales are running nearly 20% below last year, hitting profits at the country’s leading carmakers.
