Media Advisory - Simultaneous launch of Canadian space technologies Français
LONGUEUIL, QC, June 21, 2025 /CNW/ - Several technologies funded by the Canadian Space Agency under the Space Technology Development Program will be launched into space by SpaceX. These projects are a testament to Canada's leadership in space innovation. EarthDaily Analytics will use high-precision thermal imagers to monitor plant transpiration. The data collected could help farmers make decisions about irrigation, fertilization and crop rotation. It could also provide precise information about areas at greatest risk of wildfires, in order to protect our communities. INO provided infrared cameras as part of this project. Galaxia will launch its first satellite, MÖBIUS-1, a software-defined satellite designed to carry various types of Earth observation sensors. The MÖBIUS constellation could be used for a variety of applications, such as defence, environmental monitoring, agriculture, infrastructure, maritime operations and transportation. GHGSat will add two satellites to its commercial constellation, bringing the company's total to 13 methane detection satellites and one CO 2 detection satellite. Mission Control will test its onboard artificial intelligence (AI) software and machine learning operations system SpacefarerAI™ in partnership with Spire Global. Their Persistence mission aims to show how AI can analyze satellite images directly in space, thereby eliminating the need to send all data to Earth for processing. Xona Space Systems will test Pulsar, a demonstration satellite designed to validate a new generation of satellite navigation from low Earth orbit. This technology could improve precision and reliability of positioning services, including in urban areas, remote areas and the Arctic. Also contributing to the GHGSat and EarthDaily Analytics satellites are ABB 's business unit in Quebec, supplying sophisticated optical sensors, and Xiphos Systems, providing high-performance onboard processors. These innovations demonstrate the ability of Canadian companies to develop innovative technologies that meet the needs of the space program and have strong commercial potential. Media who wish to speak with a Canadian Space Agency expert or a representative from one of these Canadian companies are asked to contact the Media Relations Office.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on National Indigenous Peoples Day Français
OTTAWA, ON, /CNW/ - "In my first months as Prime Minister, I have been grateful for the opportunity to meet with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, and I recognize there is much more work to do together. "The government will work in full partnership with Indigenous Peoples – advancing shared priorities such as health care, food security, housing, education, economic prosperity, conservation, climate action, and emergency management to build a better future. Indigenous partnership is a critical component of the One Canadian Economy Act, and shared leadership with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis will be pivotal to the success of building major projects in Canada. "We will move forward together on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls' Calls for Justice, and the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. "Supporting Indigenous communities, advancing self-determination, implementing treaties, and creating generational wealth and prosperity are central to our commitment to advancing reconciliation. Through initiatives like the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program, we're addressing the historical, systemic, and economic barriers that have prevented Indigenous Peoples from participating in – and benefitting from – economic opportunities, particularly in the natural resource sector. "Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, and every day, we honour the enduring histories, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, and we reaffirm our partnership in reconciliation. Together, we can build a better future, a stronger economy, and a legacy that future generations can inherit and carry forward."

Jerry Bruckheimer hails Brad Pitt as the perfect driver for 'F1'
NEW YORK CITY — As the man who helped bring Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop, the Bad Boys movies, Days of Thunder and the Pirates of the Caribbean flicks to the big screen, Hollywood super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer knows what makes a great summer movie. Article content There needs to be action, a little romance, a kick-ass soundtrack and big emotional stakes. Of course, the perfect leading man is another necessary ingredient. Article content Article content Article content So when he and his Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski and screenwriter Ehren Kruger were reuniting for a story set inside the world of Formula 1 racing, Bruckheimer says they had their eye on one guy to star: Brad Pitt. Article content 'First of all, he's handsome. He's an Academy Award winner. He's an amazing actor and he loves motor sports,' Bruckheimer, 81, tells Postmedia in an interview in a midtown Manhattan hotel. Pitt was also a logical choice, he adds, because 'he drives motorcycles and he's tried to get other racing movies made before.' Article content In theatres Friday, F1 casts Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a washed up racer who is given a second chance when he's hired by his old friend (Javier Bardem) to mentor a hotshot rookie driver (Snowfall's Damson Idris) on a last-place team. Article content Dubbed 'the greatest that never was,' Hayes is the antithesis of Pitt, who has been delighting audiences for more than three decades. But Bruckheimer says the actor has just the right type of charm to entertain moviegoers. And you don't need to know a single thing about Formula 1. Article content Article content 'It's not really about the racing. It's about these characters in this world,' the producing giant says. 'When you come into that third act, your heart is pounding. I promise you, no matter who you are … It's a big experience on a IMAX screen. You're going to be captivated for over two hours.' Article content Bruckheimer says that the world of Formula 1 is so drama-filled that it became the perfect jumping-off point for a comeback story that is, at its core, about redemption. Article content 'It's the only sport in the world where there are 10 teams, two drivers to a team and your teammate is your competitor,' he says. 'So, you have this battle within your team to be the best driver. That's a really exciting and dramatic arc for a story. Article content 'But you don't need to know anything about F1 or anything about racing to really enjoy this movie because it's an emotional ride … It's a Rocky story,' Bruckheimer continues. 'It's about a character who had an opportunity and blew it when he was young. Loved racing, raced all around the world, but never got invited back to F1. Now he gets invited back when he's much older. So he has to work twice as hard and train twice as hard to be able to get into these cars and win.'
