Mark Carney is celebrated abroad – while consolidating power at home | Shiri Pasternak

October 28, 2026 • World • Guardian US

Summary

The article examines Canada’s Building Canada Strong Act, Bill C-39, introduced on September 21 by Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon. It says the bill would speed up approvals for major projects, shift some review powers to federal agencies responsible for promoting those sectors, and expand government authority over labour disputes, while reducing environmental and Indigenous protections.

Key Facts

Bill C-39 is a 250-page omnibus bill introduced by Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon on September 21.
The bill would allow federal ministers to designate regions as being of national interest, extending an existing fast-track system for projects.
The bill shifts review or approval roles for energy and nuclear projects to the Canada Energy Regulator and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
Under the amended framework described in the article, most pipelines would no longer require federal cabinet approval; an exception applies to projects needing more than 300 kilometres of new right of way.
The bill would add authority to end legal strikes to the Canada Labour Code.
The article says the bill sets a one-year timeline for decisions on projects and requires Indigenous communities to assess cumulative impacts early in the process.
The article reports that oil and gas companies had lobbied for faster project reviews and that 14 company leaders publicly called for changes to climate policies in March.

California's Business Elite Is Betting Big on Sports

October 28, 2026 • Business • Newsweek

Summary

The Samueli family is investing $5 billion to redevelop 110 acres around Anaheim’s Honda Center into OCVIBE, a mixed-use district planned to include housing, restaurants, hotels, offices, open space and entertainment venues. The project is part of a broader trend: Visit Anaheim estimates that $262 billion is being invested in 107 sports-anchored mixed-use developments that are open, under construction or planned.

Key Facts

The Honda Center opened in 1993 and has long been surrounded by surface parking lots and industrial facilities.
The Samueli family bought the Anaheim Ducks in 2005 and began planning for the area’s redevelopment; the land-purchase process with the City of Anaheim began in November 2018.
OCVIBE will cover 110 acres around the Honda Center, with plans to replace 62 acres of surface parking with parking structures for 11,000 vehicles.
Plans call for 2,000 residential units, 36 restaurants, six bars, 168,000 square feet of office space, two hotels and 20 acres of open space.
The project will add a 5,000-seat concert hall alongside the 17,000-seat Honda Center.
Visit Anaheim says Disneyland draws 26.5 million visitors annually, who spend $6.8 billion per year in the city.
Visit Anaheim president Mike Waterman estimates that getting domestic visitors to stay one extra night could generate close to $1 billion in additional hotel occupancy revenue for Anaheim.

Australia must recruit hundreds more to crew Aukus submarines, retired admiral warns

October 28, 2026 • World • Guardian World

Summary

Australia needs to recruit and train more sailors for the nuclear-powered submarines planned under the AUKUS deal, retired admiral Peter Briggs said. The Royal Australian Navy says 230 personnel are in its U.S. submarine training pipeline and expects 400 to be ready by 2030.

Key Facts

AUKUS is a $368 billion defence deal involving Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Australia plans to acquire three to five U.S. Virginia-class submarines to replace its five Collins-class vessels.
A Virginia-class submarine can require up to 134 crew, nearly three times the number needed for a Collins-class vessel.
The Navy says about 145 of the 230 personnel in the training pipeline have completed U.S. nuclear-power training.
Briggs said Australia should triple the size of its submarine force and may need about 3,000 personnel.
The Virginia-class submarines are intended to bridge the transition to the larger SSN-AUKUS design being developed by Australia and the UK.
The USS Colorado is at HMAS Stirling for routine maintenance and training; officials say no radiological material will be transferred and nuclear-related exercises will be simulated.
From 2027, up to four U.S. and one UK nuclear-powered submarines are expected to rotate through HMAS Stirling under Submarine Rotational Force-West.

Budget 2026: key points at a glance

October 28, 2026 • Business • Guardian World

Summary

UK Chancellor John Healey’s budget sets out measures to reduce household energy costs and says the government will meet its fiscal rules. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts modest economic growth and falling government borrowing over the coming years, while the budget cites global pressures, including the war in Iran, as contributing to higher costs.

Key Facts

The government’s fiscal rules require day-to-day spending to be covered by tax receipts and public sector net financial liabilities to fall as a share of GDP in the third year of the forecast.
The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts £15 billion of fiscal headroom in 2029-30 and £20 billion in 2030-31.
The OBR forecasts GDP growth of 1.2% this year and 1% next year, rising to 1.8% in 2029.
The OBR forecasts government borrowing to fall from 4.2% of GDP this year to 1.8% in 2030-31.
The government plans to extend a VAT cut on energy bills through July, which Healey said would reduce the annual price cap by £50.
The government plans to abolish gas standing charges for 23 million homes; it estimates two-thirds of households will save an average of £45 a year.
Households in council tax bands A to D will receive a £100 energy payment, at a stated cost of £2.6 billion.
Healey said fuel duty would be frozen for the 16th consecutive year.

DOJ Says Close Alaska Peltola Win Would be ‘Tainted Victory’

October 28, 2026 • Us • Newsweek

Summary

The Justice Department asked a federal judge to block Mary Peltola and voting-rights groups from joining a lawsuit over Alaska’s Senate election. The department argues that a close Peltola win could be affected by a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., whose name resembles incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan’s.

Key Facts

The Justice Department called a narrow Peltola victory a “tainted victory.”
Dan Sullivan is listed on the ballot as the Republican incumbent.
Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. is listed without a party affiliation.
Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. received 2.5% of the vote in the primary, according to the Justice Department filing.
Peltola’s campaign, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the League of Women Voters of Alaska sought to join the lawsuit.
The Justice Department argued that the proposed intervenors would duplicate arguments made by the state defendants.
Judge Sharon L. Gleason set an expedited schedule and was expected to rule by 5 p.m. on October 28.
