Here is a roundup of stories from The Canadian Press designed to bring you up to speed …
Trump defends policies in state of the union
U.S. President Donald Trump defended his controversial immigration tactics and global tariffs during a record-breaking state of the union address on Tuesday night.
During the 108-minute speech, the president boasted about his wide-ranging policy changes on deportation, the economy and foreign policy at a critical time for the Republican Party.
Poling has shown that issues that should be Trump's strengths — like immigration and jobs — are tanking in popularity among independent voters who could play a critical role in the upcoming midterm elections.
Republican members of Congress appeared united during the speech, standing up to applaud the president and repeatedly chanting "U.S.A" throughout the speech.
Immigrant service groups brace for deep cuts
Nearly half the immigrant service organizations in the Greater Toronto Area are braced for program closures in the near future due to federal funding cuts that began in 2024.
A survey of 48 newcomer service agencies — conducted by the United Way Greater Toronto, Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants and the City of Toronto — says 44 per cent of respondents expect to see program closures, while 56 per cent expect program disruptions due to declining funds.
Jessica Kwik, director of the Peel Newcomer Strategy Group, said many of the cuts are hitting higher level language training. Newcomers who lack this training can struggle to find work, she said.
Immigration on agenda at Alberta legislature
Alberta politicians returned to the legislature Tuesday for the spring sitting, with proposed legislation on the agenda ranging from immigration to medical assistance in dying.
Government house leader Joseph Schow said he expects up to 18 government bills, including one that would create a provincial Project Delivery Office akin to the federal government's Major Projects Office.
The office would be tasked with attracting investment and streamlining approval for major industrial projects in Alberta.
Another bill is to prohibit MAID in Alberta for select groups, including people with a mental illness as their sole underlying condition.
Health groups call for action on cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is both the fastest-growing type of cancer in Canada and one that is almost completely preventable — and advocates are gathering in Ottawa on Wednesday to call on the federal government to step up screening, prevention and vaccination.
