In one shipment alone this year, Canada imported an estimated $3.9 million worth of Russian crude oil, which had been refined in India and mixed with oil from other sources. That's despite an earlier @cbcnews.ca investigation that warned of this loophole.
nationalobserver.com
After warnings, Canada kept importing Russian oil into 2026
A $36.1 million cargo from India’s Jamnagar refinery arrived in Nova Scotia in April. Researchers estimate more than $3 million of that could have been derived from Russian crude.

“Extreme heat waves and record breaking dry conditions” huh. Interesting. Wonder if there’s anything creating those conditions that we should be addressing raTHER THAN WORSENING!!!!
Mark Carney posts on Twitter: “This morning, I met with federal workers in Ottawa who are supporting the wildfire response efforts in Northwestern Ontario and across the country. This is one of the most intense wildfire seasons in Canadian history due to extreme heat waves and record-breaking dry conditions.
Canada is mobilising more than 5,000 firefighters and nearly 300 waterbombers, helicopters, and evacuation aircraft to contain, control, and mitigate the fires.
It's an enormous, complex effort that ultimately depends on dedicated and brave individuals who work relentlessly to keep everyone safe.”
