The strike began one month ago — and the Canadian industry has steeled itself for the ripple effects of a labour action that has shut down scores of Hollywood film and television productions.

Feature films rarely begin shooting without a finished script; Canadian independent productions that work with Writers Guild of Canada members are untouched by the strike south of the border.

From traditional networks like ABC to streaming giants like Netflix, studios have been preparing for an action with so-called "strike-proof" lineups — mostly a combination of non-scripted reality shows, and international series like the aforementioned CanCon, though you'll see South Korean and Indian exports pop up in your algorithm too.

In an interview with CBC's The House airing Saturday, Guilbeault insisted the federal government is working successfully with Alberta on a number of issues, including biodiversity and tailings pond remediation.

Speaking to The House, Jeff Cyr, CEO of Raven Indigenous Capital Partners, said a multi-party approach is the most sensible one, given the fact that governments come and go on shorter timescales than many major investment projects.

The event celebrated the 20th anniversary of the launch of the agency’s Mars Express orbiter — a mission to take three-dimensional images of the planet’s surface to see it in more complete detail.

“Normally, we see images from Mars and know that they were taken days before,” said James Godfrey, spacecraft operations manager at ESA’s mission control center in Darmstadt, Germany, in a statement.

“Note, we’ve never tried anything like this before, so exact travel times for signals on the ground remain a little uncertain,” the agency said in a statement prior to the event.

LONDON - Critics accuse the British administration of running "government by WhatsApp" because of the popularity of the messaging app with politicians and officials.

‘Duck Hunt’ gun used in South Carolina convenience store robbery

‘Duck Hunt’ gun used in South Carolina convenience store robbery

50 secs

Summary

As announced by deputies from York County, the 25-year-old suspect (who would have been born 14 years or so after Duck Hunt released) was able to get away with $300 in cash after disguising himself in a wig, mask, hooded sweatshirt and of course, the iconic Nintendo Zapper.

The Nintendo Zapper is known for its bright orange and grey colour, but in a savvy veteran criminal move, the suspect spraypainted it black to better represent a traditional firearm, even if it looks nothing like one.

Although goofy in hindsight, using fake weapons to commit real crimes is far from funny and has been attempted multiple times in the past.

Cornered in Ukraine and isolated by the West, the Kremlin returns to Cuba

1 min, 9 secs

Summary

Dozens of Russian officials have travelled to Cuba in recent months — and some former Cuban government insiders are warning that Russia might plan to again use the island as a forward base on the United States' doorstep.

Over the past few weeks, Russian oligarchs have signed agreements with Havana covering a wide range of commercial interests: supplying wheat to Cuba; investments in its sugar and rum industries; revitalizing ports, urban infrastructure and hotels.

Since March, the island has hosted not only Lavrov, but also Nikolai Patrushev — who has headed Russia's Security Council for 15 years — Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin and Boris Titov, an oligarch with a presidential commission who led a delegation of Russian business leaders that signed agreements for 30 projects in Cuba.

Pulp giant's purchase didn't go through a net benefit review, federal officials say

Summary

Testifying before members of the Natural Resources committee, Deputy Director of Investments Mark Schaan said the deal that allowed Domtar, owned by Paper Excellence, to buy Resolute Forest Products for $2.7 billion US passed a national security review but did not require a study of its benefit to Canada.

The investigation found that the people behind or associated with Paper Excellence appear to have a pattern of using thickets of corporations, including tax havens, effectively shielding transactions and assets from public and government scrutiny.

On Tuesday, John Williams, chair of the Paper Excellence Group, told CBC News that Wijaya is a Hong Kong resident with homes in Shanghai and Newport Beach, California.
