Alberta’s Trade and Tax Strategy | Edmonton News

Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith is doubling down on diplomacy as U.S. tariffs loom, vowing 100% tariff-free trade through negotiation—not threats—after Trump announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods starting August 19. Meanwhile, Canada faces new 10–12.5% tariffs on 60 countries over forced labor claims, with PM Carney holding off on retaliation but eyeing countermeasures if no deal emerges. Back home, Smith champions one-time $100 fuel rebates over tax relief, hinting at future legislative tweaks, while also pushing to tie seniors’ benefits to Alberta residency and tax contributions to ensure fairness and sustainability.

Ancient Cemeteries Vanishing into Sea | Edmonton News

Prince Edward Island’s ancient cemeteries, some over 200 years old, are vanishing into the sea as coastal erosion accelerates. Sites like Panmure Island and St. Andrew’s Point—established by early Scottish settlers—are crumbling, prompting emergency measures: a “living shoreline” of bayberries and hay bales at one site, and a sandstone wall at another. But officials admit these efforts are only temporary, untested against storms like Fiona. With rising seas and stronger waves, protecting these historic burial grounds is an uphill battle, and relocation may be unavoidable. The province is monitoring vulnerable sites closely and urging the public to report any storm-related discoveries to help preserve the island’s fading heritage.

Canada’s Immigration Numbers Plummet | Edmonton News

Canada’s immigration numbers are plummeting—permanent residents down 20%, study permits 24%, asylum claims 35%—signaling a deliberate government pivot away from rapid growth. India’s drop alone accounts for nearly half the decline, hitting provinces like Ontario and BC hardest, while Quebec bucks the trend. New rules are tightening asylum access, not reducing need. The ripple effects? Slower population and labor growth, and a chill on global confidence in Canada as a destination.
