Prime Minister Mark Carney says a Canadian company's bid to supply nuclear energy to Turkey has a real shot of winning the lucrative tender.
Carney is meeting with Turkish business leaders in Istanbul today, a day after he announced a new strategic partnership between Canada and Turkey to deepen co-operation on a range of files.
Energy is one of the pillars of that agreement, and he says the AtkinsRéalis bid to supply two planned Turkish power plants with the Candu nuclear reactor now has "good chances" of succeeding.
Carney is in Turkey for a three-day trip to strike a new strategic partnership and pursue free trade with the NATO ally.

Family says soldier killed in fire lived his dream
The mother of a Canadian soldier killed in a fire at a military base in Alberta says his lifelong goal was to join the Forces and wear his uniform with pride.
Patricia Farrell says her son, Private Shaun Farrell, lived with dyslexia and Asperger's syndrome, and overcame any obstacle in his way.
The 23-year-old was one of four soldiers killed Saturday when a grass fire, fanned by high winds, at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright overtook a live-fire training exercise on a nearby grenade range.
Out of the 84 soldiers on the exercise, 39 were sent to hospital.

Carney sees 'no merit' in U.S. politics interference claim
Prime Minister Mark Carney says there is "no merit" to American claims that Canadians might be interfering in U.S. politics ahead of November's midterm elections.
Officials in the Trump administration, including U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, have claimed Canadian politicians are interfering in the democratic process south of the border.
Hoekstra has said the administration is watching Canadian politicians closely ahead of the midterms and warned them to butt out of American politics.
Carney has consistently rebutted accusations of electoral interference and told reporters in Turkey today that he's "disappointed" the U.S. envoy is spreading those claims.

Military may deploy Arctic sensor stations in 2027
National Defence could start installing 47 new sensor stations across the North as early as next summer.
It's called Project Crossbow and it's part of a wider plan to bolster Norad’s surveillance and early warning abilities.
Documents National Defence filed with a Nunavut regulatory board detail some of the plans, although much about the new sensors remains classified.
The installations would start in Yukon near the Alaskan border and follow along the Arctic coast across the Northwest Territories, reaching as far out as Alert, Nvt.

Ottawa says it's working with EU on foreign aid
Canada's closer ties with Europe could help fill some of the gaps left behind as the United States withdraws from foreign aid, says the secretary of state for international development.
Randeep Sarai says Canada is talking with the European Union about leveraging private and philanthropic dollars for foreign aid.
U.S. foreign aid spending dropped 57 per cent in 20-25 after Washington dismantled USAID, an action Harvard University researchers say caused hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is cutting global health spending while encouraging private investment, and Sarai says European officials have looked to him for guidance on the file.

Élisabeth Rioux répond à ceux qui se permettent de critiquer sa fille Wolfie sur Instagram
« Si seulement vous saviez combien de fois par jour les gens répondent à mes stories... »
En juillet 2020, l'entrepreneure et créatrice de contenu Élisabeth Rioux a donné naissance à sa fille Wolfie, qu'elle surnomme affectueusement Doupi. Depuis, elle a voyagé dans plusieurs pays en sa compagnie et partage plein de moments de son quotidien avec elle sur ses réseaux sociaux.
C'est d'ailleurs sous une photo du duo pendant leur voyage en Italie que la maman a adressé un sujet qui semble beaucoup faire jaser ses abonné.es.
Élisabeth mentionne qu'elle reçoit de nombreux messages concernant l'habillement de sa fille et elle avait besoin de passer un message :
« Si elle dit chaussettes & crocs, ce sera chaussettes et crocs. Je m'en fous de savoir si ce qu'elle porte match parfaitement avec son outfit, mais laissez-moi vous dire : Elle s'en soucie beaucoup! Ses choix peuvent parfois sembler intéressants pour moi, je pense que c'est ça la magie et je ne voudrais jamais limiter son imagination juste pour qu'elle fit plus dans les normes... »
Elle poursuit en expliquant que les gens disent toutes sortes de commentaires, autant sur les vêtements que les accessoires qui choisis par Wolfie :
« Si seulement vous saviez combien de fois par jour les gens répondent à mes stories pour me dire que ses outfits sont bizarres, pas corrects, pas assortis, trop enfantins, etc. Mon bébé est coloré, elle est extra, elle a de l'assurance et comme elle le répète à chaque fois qu'elle s'habille : "Doupi est belle." »
L'entrepreneure conclut son message en s'adressant à sa communauté : « Je suis fière d'elle, je suis fière de la laisser faire, mais parfois je suis vraiment préoccupée par les gens autour, je souhaite juste que quand elle grandira, la société le fera aussi et laissera chacun être lui-même dans ses propres couleurs. »
En story, elle a également profité de cette intervention pour rappeler aux gens d'être respectueux en soulevant que l'habit d'une petite fille ne devrait pas autant affecter les autres.
