Alberta tables Bill 38: campus institutional-neutrality and free-expression rules, plus maximum tuition amounts

On 3 November Alberta’s government introduced Bill 38, the Advanced Education Statutes Amendment Act, 2026. It would require institutional-neutrality and freedom-of-expression policies at public and independent academic institutions, let the minister set maximum tuition amounts (with a 2% cap on increases for existing domestic students in 2027-28), and set minimum student-conduct standards by regulation.

Alberta tables 91-seat electoral map from independent advisory panel; Legislature still must vote

On 2 November the Select Special Committee on Electoral Boundaries provided the Independent Advisory Panel’s report to the Assembly (SP 637/2025-2026) and tabled its own concluding report (SP 639). The panel’s mandate under Government Motion 37 was a 91-division map restoring Lac Ste. Anne and Rocky Mountain House–Sundre and proposing further Calgary, Edmonton and Lethbridge-area changes. A two-member minority opinion contests constitutionality; the maps are not law until MLAs enact them.

Ottawa lists $5.9-billion Roberts Bank Terminal 2 as a ‘national interest’ project, deeming permit preconditions met despite whale and salmon findings

Order in Council P.C. 2026-1047 (30 October) adds the Delta, B.C., container terminal to Schedule 1 of the Building Canada Act. Under the Act, listing means the substantive preconditions for the remaining federal permits are deemed met; conditions will be set in a single Conditions Document. Cabinet says the port expansion avoids $800–900 million a year in shipping costs from 2031. Its own explanatory note says the project ‘would cause significant adverse effects’ to endangered southern resident killer whales.

Ottawa commits up to $1.6 billion of public money for an equity stake in AI firm Cohere; terms not published

The Prime Minister’s Office says the investment will be staged, alongside private investors. In return, Cohere commits to keep its Canadian incorporation and headquarters, add at least 1,000 Canadian technical jobs by 2030 and spend at least $1.7 billion on computing infrastructure in Canada. The release does not give the size of the stake, the valuation Ottawa is paying, or what happens if targets are missed.
