Alberta Premier Danielle Smith hopes the pipeline will be backed by Ottawa's major projects office. A new oil pipeline to the northwest BC coast would have the greatest economic benefit of any new nation building project. While there's no private sector proponent, Smith has assembled an advisory group that includes

three major Canadian pipeline operators. E.B. says the plan is alarming to British Columbians, including First Nations, along the Coast. There is no project. There is no bridge to cross unless the Albertan government and the federal Canadian government are committing billions of taxpayer dollars to build this project. And if that is the plan, then they should be transparent about it.

Israel's seizure of a flotilla headed for Gaza has prompted several protests around the world.

This was one of them outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul, early Thursday morning. Demonstrators demanding that Turkey speak in defense of the flotilla. Israeli forces boaters severed boats, several boats, and took them to an Israeli port. Flotela organizers are calling that a war crime and say their intent was to deliver humanitarian aid, but Israel is accusing them of being provocative.

Vice President J.D. Vance accuses them of operating in bad faith. Whatever those disagreements are, you don't shut down the government over it. For the first time since the Democrats have been in politics, they're now saying that unless we get every policy item that we demand, we're going to shut down the people's government. They're trying to take a hostage, and we're not going to let them. Hundreds of thousands who are now on unpaid leave, and Hunt President Trump, rather, has threatened to fireworkers or make cuts to programs that Democrats support if the shutdown continues.

It says it's part of ongoing efforts to educate people on dealing with serious and growing cybercrime threats. Dave Gilson reports.

Seid's new cyber range includes a darkened room with computer stations facing wall screens displaying simulated cyber threat maps. Officials call it a safe and controlled offline teaching environment that currently includes more than 50 customizable simulations designed to challenge people to think critically and act under pressure. Information system security student FICA Kaleem calls it an important training tool. It lets us practice the real-world scenarios and deal with the defense strategies. President and CEO David Ross calls it a rapidly emerging and evolving feel and that demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to grow. Besides educating students, he says the state-of-the-art facility will provide a learning environment for other stakeholders, including the corporate sector. We can bring teams of people in that can experience

the simulations in real terms. They can learn that they're going to have to experience the emotion that goes with it. State says the facility also includes defender and attacker rooms and a central command center. Dave Gilson, CBC News, Calgary.
