ANALYSIS | Is the U.S. military running out of weapons? | CBC News

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shot back at lawmakers last week for suggesting the country is running short of weapons. While it may have enough for the current war against Iran, it's potential future conflicts that analysts are concerned about.

Corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints as Carney abruptly closed it down | CBC News

A corporate watchdog was still accepting complaints right up until the point Prime Minister Mark Carney announced its dissolution — seemingly out of nowhere — despite saying the decision to discontinue the office was made "months" earlier.

ANALYSIS | Carney talks about Canada's 'energy sovereignty.' But what does that really mean? | CBC News

Soon after Donald Trump took office for a second time, with punishing tariffs and menacing talk of Canada as "the 51st state," this country's leaders began to invoke the idea of "energy sovereignty." But the Carney government's interpretation of energy sovereignty seems out of step with other countries.
