Canada's Economic Challenges and AI Investment
Canada's budget deficit for the first five months of 2026/27 nearly halved to C$5.36 billion, Reuters reports, as economic conditions remain challenging.
Ottawa has announced up to $1.6B in investment into Canadian AI firm Cohere, which now has a valuation of $35.7B, per The Logic and Global News.
Despite promises to end thermal coal exports, Ottawa quietly abandoned that commitment, according to the Auditor General's office, CBC reports.
