Former U.S. Federal Reserve chair Alan Greenspan has died at the age of 100.

He died on Monday from complications of Parkinson’s Disease, said his wife of 29 years, NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchel.

“To me he was my husband, who shaped my life from our very first date in 1984,” Mitchell said. “He had ‘irrational exuberance’ for baseball, the Washington Commanders, tennis, golf, and music, especially jazz. He will be

Canada has taken inspiration from its fellow commonwealth cousin, Australia, and has moved to ban social media for anyone under 16.

A part of Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act requires social media platforms to ensure kids are staying safe online, or else they get banned. But what ‘safe’ looks like exactly hasn’t been clearly outlined by Ottawa yet. The act also aims at protecting children from AI chatbots.

Academics and experts in the safe have spoken both for and against the act

Toronto police say they have intercepted more than a dozen unauthorized drones since the FIFA World Cup kicked off in the city , warning operators that strict no‑fly rules remain actively enforced around stadiums, fan zones, and major gathering points.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Monday that he will resign, forced out by his own party after missteps and mistakes soured voters’ goodwill for a prime minister who won a landslide election victory two years ago on a promise of steady leadership and economic growth.

Starmer says he will remain caretaker prime minister until his Labour party chooses a new leader — with expectations growing that it will be former Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada will release its latest reading for May inflation today.

High oil and gasoline prices are expected to push inflation higher for the month.

The consensus among economists is that the annual inflation rate rose to three per cent in May, from 2.8 per cent in April.

So, he says, he will be looking

TORONTO — The union representing nearly 19,000 Canadian autoworkers is kicking off contract talks today with Ford Motor Co., the first of the Detroit Three automakers it will sit down with to hammer out new collective agreements.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia and Canada signed a $1.75 billion export agreement on Monday to build an Australian-designed long-range radar system in Canada.

Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles and Canadian Secretary of State (Defense Procurement) Stephen Fuhr signed the first phase of a pact to provide early warning radar coverage from the Canada-United States border into the Arctic.
