In the news today: countries denounce Iran, France crab licence, Alberta unity event

Canada joins the U.S. and over two dozen other countries in denouncing Iran's involvement in a planned attack on a British airbase. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that the event at RAF Fairford was "almost certainly" directed by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, highlighting the country's continued willingness to project hostile activity beyond its borders.

Meanwhile, France has not granted a crab licence off the coast of Newfoundland without consulting Canada, as stated by France's ambassador to Canada, Hélène Farnaud-Defromont. The announcement comes after reported pledges from French President Emmanuel Macron. Lastly, an inquest is set to begin examining the death of Toronto woman Regis Korchinski-Paquet, who fell from a highrise balcony as police entered her home in May 2020.
