Ottawa tells its diplomats not to meet with U.S. midterm candidates
Diplomats told not to meet midterm candidates
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ethan Cairns
Canadian diplomats were directed this week not to meet with or attend events with candidates in the U.S. midterm elections.
Glen Linder, assistant deputy minister for the Americas at Global Affairs Canada, sent a memo midday Tuesday to members of the foreign service in the United States.
The memo, which was obtained by The Canadian Press, says if diplomats find themselves "in the same physical space" as a candidate or elected official, they should avoid being photographed or having their name or position appear in any public communications materials.
The memo says those instructions are similar to those in place during election periods in Canada, when public servants are expected to avoid contact with elected officials except in exceptional circumstances.
The memo comes as the Trump administration accuses Canadian politicians of interfering in American elections.
While Prime Minister Mark Carney has disputed the suggestion of Canadian interference, the memo says that, given "heightened sensitivity," the department must take a "very risk-averse approach."

Former Alberta cabinet minister says Smith can't survive UCP crisis after referendum
Smith can't survive Alberta referendum: Guthrie
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson.
A former Alberta cabinet minister says Premier Danielle Smith won't survive the crisis in her United Conservative Party amid fallout from the separation referendum.
Peter Guthrie, who was removed from the UCP caucus after criticizing the government over a health-care procurement scandal, now leads the upstart Progressive Tory Party of Alberta.
He says Monday's referendum angered both federalists and separatists and leaves Smith with more enemies than supporters.
About 75 per cent of voters cast ballots to keep Alberta in Canada and not to have a second, binding referendum on leaving the country.
Smith's office says Guthrie is out of touch with Albertans and peddling misinformation.
On Wednesday, the premier said anyone running for or speaking for her UCP must accept its pro-Canada stance.
She said separatists intent on turning the party into a vehicle for independence should join a different party, warning internal division could cost the UCP next year's election.

Singapore firm set to buy shut Yukon mine for $140M, promises $1.4B in investment
Singapore-based company set to buy shut Yukon mine
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld
A Singapore-based mining company has entered an agreement to acquire the beleaguered Eagle Gold mine in the Yukon for $140 million, more than two years after it was shut down following a massive collapse, with plans to invest a further $1.4 billion in operations and other costs.
A statement from Boroo Pte. says that if the deal is approved by the court, it would come with planned capital investment of about $800 million between 2027 and 2029 for environmental rehabilitation, water treatment infrastructure, geotechnical stabilization, and "phased restart activities."
The company says it would also spend more than $600 million over the initial life of the mine "to support and extend mining operations."
The 2024 failure at Eagle Gold's heap-leach facility released about two-million tonnes of cyanide-laced ore and water into the environment, leading to control of the mine being taken over by a court-appointed receiver.Â
Boroo says that since it entered an exclusivity agreement in April to potentially buy the site it has deployed "substantial technical, environmental, and financial resources" and come up with its own plan aimed at "stabilizing the site, completing environmental remediation activities and restarting the mine."
The Yukon government is expected to hold a news conference and Boroo's statement says the plan is to ask a judge approve the proposed transaction this December.
