Canada’s job market is firing on all cylinders, adding 75,000 jobs last month—way above forecasts—and dropping unemployment to a two-year low of 6.4%. This marks the third straight month of strong gains, reversing earlier sluggishness. Alberta leads the surge, but surprisingly, it’s health care and public services—not oil and gas—that are driving full-time growth. Ontario also added over 65,000 jobs, though Alberta’s year-over-year gains are far more impressive. Meanwhile, Quebec and B.C. see

President Trump pulled off a jaw-dropping security maneuver during his return from a NATO summit in Turkey, allegedly switching from Air Force One via a food truck after intelligence flagged an Iranian threat targeting his main aircraft.
