Minister Joly’s statement on the outcome of the further national security review of TikTok Technology Canada Inc. under the Investment Canada Act
From: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada
Statement
March 9, 2026 – Ottawa, Ontario 
The Honourable MΓ©lanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, made the following statement:
β€œThe Government of Canada has completed the further national security review of the investment by TikTok Technology Canada Inc. (TikTok Canada) under the Investment Canada Act and has decided to permit the investment to proceed, subject to new legally binding undertakings provided by TikTok Canada.
β€œThe decision follows a thorough assessment of the information and evidence gathered during the review process, including advice from Canada’s security and intelligence community and other government partners. Protecting Canadians’ data and the safety of children online will always be a top priority of the government.
Aligned with a similar approach taken by the European Union (EU), the government has negotiated enhanced undertakings through this further review, establishing clear guardrails that will better protect Canadians’ data and place Canada in a stronger position with respect to data security and regulatory oversight:
TikTok will implement enhanced protection for Canadians’ personal information, including new security gateways and privacy-enhancing technologies to control access to Canadian user data in order to reduce the risk of unauthorized or prohibited access.
TikTok will implement enhanced protections for minors consistent with the findings and recommendations of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada’s joint investigation of TikTok Pte. Ltd.
To ensure transparency, as has been done in the EU, an independent third-party monitor will be appointed to audit and continuously verify data access controls.
β€œThe Government of Canada will exercise its full authorities under …

Prime Minister Carney to travel to Norway and the United Kingdom to strengthen collective defence and security


March 9, 2026
Ottawa, Ontario



In a more dangerous and divided world, regions once considered isolated from global tensions are becoming areas of growing competition. The Arctic is at the centre of this shift. To protect Canadian sovereignty and the collective security of our Allies, Canada’s new government is strengthening our presence in the North, deepening our security and economic partnerships, and building our domestic defence capabilities.

To these ends, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, today announced that he will travel to Bardufoss and Oslo, Norway, from March 13 to 15, 2026. In Bardufoss, the Prime Minister will observe the Norwegian-led NATO Exercise Cold Response, where troops from 14 Allied nations will gather above the Arctic Circle to enhance the Alliance’s readiness, interoperability, and defence capabilities. This exercise is an important demonstration of NATO’s shared resolve to defend the Alliance's northern flank – supported by the participation of its newest members, Sweden and Finland, at this critical moment.

In Oslo, Prime Minister Carney will meet with the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr StΓΈre, to advance the Canada-Norway relationship across trade, investment, clean energy, critical minerals, and aerospace. Prime Minister Carney will then attend the Canada-Nordic Summit and meet with other Nordic partners to deepen geopolitical coordination and enhance transatlantic security, including in the North.

During his visit, the Prime Minister will also engage with business leaders to position Canada as a premier destination for global capital and investment, particularly in the defence, critical minerals, and artificial intelligence sectors.

The Prime Minister will then travel to London, United Kingdom, where he will meet with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to discuss a range of issues, including collective defence, global …

Mr. Poilievre takes journalists' questions of late. Today he was criticizing the govt for not starting a new pipeline project yet. A journalist should ask him how specifically the govt should do that. Ignore aboriginal rights? Ignore provincial objections? Assume the financial risks federally?

A little refresher, in case you forgot.
I know people who have been masking this whole time.
There are mask advisories all the time. I feel like it is such a minor inconvenience, hardly worth thinking twice about.
My son has been sick a lot since 2020. I think he had Covid very early. Before tests.
