Story summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Calgary, Canada, on Wednesday night for his first visit to the country this year. The trip is primarily focused on meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney to discuss deepening defense, economic, and energy cooperation between their nations amid Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine. Zelenskyy and Carney are scheduled to meet in Calgary Thursday morning before Zelenskyy addresses a cabinet meeting in the nearby mountain resort town of Banff, Alberta. During his three-day visit, which includes stops in Toronto and North Bay, Ontario, Canada also announced plans for a long-term strategic partnership with Ukraine that spans over 100 years, covering areas such as defense, trade, investment, energy, and critical minerals. The agreement aims to strengthen bilateral ties further by collaborating on the production of drones and other uncrewed systems to bolster both countries' defenses against Russia's aggressive military actions.

🔮 On Oct. 19, Albertans will vote in a referendum on whether to stay in Canada or whether it’s time to hold a second, binding referendum on leaving Confederation.
🔮 Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said they welcome newcomers but must balance that with the prohibitively high cost of social services. But the five referendum immigration questions have spurred questions about how the province plans to take more control over the process, what the new limits will be, what fees some newcomers might be charged and whether the new rules will apply to those who have already arrived.
🔮 'Never giving up': Alberta separatist leaders say referendum vote won't end their fight Advocates for an Independent Alberta say no ballot outcome will put the matter to rest
🔮 Carney says the meeting will focus on the countries' shared priorities, including deepening defence, economic and energy co-operation.
🔮 “This relationship has flourished for over a hundred years and it will flourish in the century ahead, long after this war ends,” Mr. Carney said.
🔮 Edmonton organizers said in a Thursday statement the Boston Marathon will accept the finishing times of 92 competitors to qualify but not the 13.
🔮 The network says in the letter that targeting newcomers for enforcement while they’re protesting immigration rules is a violation of the Charter right of free speech and will have a chilling effect on those wanting to speak out.
🔮 Smith has called a vote for Oct. 19 that will ask Albertans whether the province should remain in Canada or hold a second, binding referendum on leaving the country.
🔮 Smith said the referendum will continue, because hundreds of thousands of citizens have signed petitions demanding a resolution.
