In the world of sports, Laura Burgos won a gold medal in the 54 kg category of Muaythai at the World Games in Chengdu, defeating Poland's Martina Kierczynska. This victory contributed to Mexico's impressive medal count at the games. Similarly, in the field of science, Mexican students showcased their exceptional skills at the International Mathematics Competition (IMC) in Vietnam, where a primary school team made history by winning a silver medal. The success was not limited to one age group, as the secondary school team also earned a bronze medal by teams. These twin victories highlight the diverse talent and dedication of Mexico's representatives on the global stage.

2025-08-19 Canadians living abroad are advised to be aware of the recent labor dispute at Air Canada, which has resulted in widespread travel disruptions. The strike, initiated by the airline's 10,000 flight attendants, began last weekend following a breakdown in contract negotiations. A key sticking point in the talks was the union's demand for compensation for unpaid ground duties, a practice they argued was unfair. The federal government swiftly intervened, ordering the employees back to work and mandating binding arbitration; however, the union initially defied the order, prolonging the travel chaos for hundreds of thousands of passengers worldwide. As of Tuesday, a tentative deal has been reached, bringing the strike to an end and allowing for a gradual resumption of flights. Air Canada has advised that it may take a week or more for full service to be restored, and affected passengers are encouraged to check their flight status and explore alternative rebooking options.

2025-08-05 Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne recently traveled to Mexico to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries. The visit, which included meetings with President Claudia Sheinbaum and other officials, focused on deepening economic ties, trade, and security cooperation. This trip is particularly significant given ongoing trade tensions with the United States and highlights a mutual desire to fortify North American trade relationships outside of the U.S. Mexico is already Canada's third-largest trading partner, and both countries are seeking to advance bilateral cooperation in preparation for an upcoming visit by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

2025-07-28 The "North Belt" is an ambitious commercial initiative between Canada and Mexico, aiming to establish an independent trade corridor to reduce reliance on the United States and bypass potential tariffs, particularly in response to threats from the U.S. government. This strategic plan involves creating new direct land and maritime routes to facilitate trade, which is expected to reduce transshipment costs, improve logistical efficiency, and shorten transportation times. Projected to be fully operational by 2028, with the agreement slated for signing in September 2025, the North Belt is also designed to attract non-North American trade and could significantly reconfigure supply chains across the continent, potentially impacting the U.S. economy.

2025-07-18 Last week, Mexico City was the scene of significant protests and a march against gentrification, particularly in popular neighborhoods like Condesa and Roma. Hundreds of residents took to the streets to voice their frustrations over soaring rents—reportedly up 47% in the last five years—and the displacement of long-term residents, often attributed to an influx of foreign digital nomads and short-term rental platforms like Airbnb. While largely peaceful, some demonstrations saw instances of vandalism and anti-foreigner sentiment, which drew criticism from city officials, including Mayor Clara Brugada, who nonetheless acknowledged the "legitimate" concerns and announced a comprehensive 14-point plan to address the housing crisis, including regulating rental prices and short-term rentals, and investing in affordable housing to ensure Mexico City remains livable for all its inhabitants. Elements of the zapatista, anarchists and feminist movements as well as free palestine protesters were also present during the protest. A second march is currently planned for July 20th.

2025-07-09 In a remarkable show of cross-border solidarity, Mexico has dispatched water rescue teams and firefighters to Texas to assist with the devastating floods that have claimed over 100 lives and left many more missing. Personnel from Mexico's Civil Protection Water Rescue Team and Cure Firefighters, along with volunteers from the nonprofit Foundation 911, arrived in affected areas like Kerrville to join ongoing search and rescue operations. This critical aid, offered despite existing political tensions, highlights a spirit of humanitarian cooperation between the neighboring nations, with Mexican officials emphasizing that "there's no flag or countries in between firefighters; we're humans and we're helping humans." The Mexican teams are leveraging their expertise in swift-water rescues and utilizing advanced equipment like drones to help locate victims and bring a measure of closure to affected families in the Texas Hill Country.

2025-06-27 During the recent G7 summit held in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. The meeting, which took place on June 17, 2025, focused on strengthening the long-standing economic relationship between their two nations and enhancing cooperation on shared priorities within the G7 framework. The leaders discussed the close economic integration that benefits both Canadian and Mexican workers and businesses, as well as crucial issues like economic and energy security and the creation of resilient supply chains. The meeting also provided an opportunity for President Sheinbaum to present "Plan México," her administration's signature project aimed at elevating Mexico's economy to a global top 10 position, and to court Canadian business leaders. Mexico is not a G7 member but was invited to attend the summit by Prime Minister Carney, an invitation extended to foster dialogue on North American trade and economic matters.

In a friendly gesture, President Sheinbaum gifted Prime Minister Carney a soccer ball decorated with Wixárika indigenous art, in anticipation of the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by Mexico, Canada, and the United States.

2025-06-27 Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez reportedly declined a $20 million offer from Elon Musk to promote Tesla for his fight against Terence Crawford. The Mexican boxer stated his refusal stemmed from not wanting to promote a product from a billionaire he believes is discriminating against Latinos. This decision has been praised as an act of solidarity with immigrants, particularly within California and other regions of the United States.

2025-06-13 A viral TikTok video showcasing an Oxxo store in Canada has sparked a debate about its authenticity. While the store features a logo nearly identical to the well-known Mexican chain, with the addition of "CA," and is reportedly registered with Canadian authorities, it is unclear if it is an official branch. Femsa, the parent company of Oxxo, has not released any statement to confirm the opening of a store in Canada, leaving social media users to speculate whether this is a legitimate expansion or a case of brand plagiarism.

2025-05-27 King Charles III, accompanied by Queen Camilla, is currently undertaking a significant two-day official visit to Canada, which is set to conclude today, May 27, 2025. This marks his first visit to the Commonwealth nation since becoming monarch. The primary purpose of this historic trip is for King Charles to deliver the Speech from the Throne in the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa. This rare constitutional event, last performed by the monarch in Canada in 1977, will formally open the 45th session of Parliament and outline the government's forthcoming agenda.

The royal couple's visit commenced on Monday, May 26th, and has included several official engagements. These have featured a community gathering at Lansdowne Park, a ceremonial tree planting at Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General, and meetings with Prime Minister Mark Carney and Governor General Mary Simon. Today, prior to delivering the throne speech, the King and Queen will travel in Canada's historic State Landau to the Senate of Canada Building. Their Canadian tour will culminate with the laying of a wreath at the National War Memorial before their departure.

2025-05-19 Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) is pursuing legal action against Full Circle Media, a production company that collaborated with popular YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) on a video filmed at ancient Mayan archaeological sites. The core of the dispute lies in the alleged unauthorized commercial use of these heritage sites and the presentation of potentially misleading information in the video titled "I Explored 2000 Year Old Ancient Temples."

The Mexican government contends that while permission was granted to film at locations including Chichén Itzá and Calakmul, this did not extend to using the sites for commercial promotion or advertising MrBeast's products, such as his chocolate brand, which was described in the video as "Mayan-approved."

Furthermore, Mexican authorities have raised concerns about certain assertions made in the video, including claims of accessing areas not typically open to archaeologists and depictions of activities like using drones in restricted zones and handling ancient artifacts, some of which INAH suggests were added in post-production or were false.

The Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, and the Secretary of Culture have voiced their disapproval, emphasizing that while they welcome the promotion of Mexico's cultural heritage, they condemn the exploitation of these sites for private profit and the distortion of their value. INAH is reportedly seeking compensation and an apology.

Representatives for MrBeast have denied filming any advertisement material directly on the archaeological sites overseen by INAH. They stated the video was intended to highlight the treasured Mayan sites and expressed regret that the situation has become a political issue, hoping for a productive dialogue that encourages tourism to these historical locations.

The lawsuit is specifically targeting the production company, Full Circle Media, for allegedly violating the terms of the filming permit. The situation has sparked considerable public discussion in Mexico regarding access to and the commercial use of its significant cultural and historical landmarks.

2025-05-12 Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has initiated a lawsuit against Google due to the company's decision to display "Gulf of America" on its maps for U.S. users, following an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump. Mexico's contention is that while the "Gulf of America" label might be acceptable for the portion of the Gulf within U.S. territorial waters, the name "Gulf of Mexico" should remain for the regions bordering Mexico and Cuba. Sheinbaum argues that Google's current mapping presentation, which applies "Gulf of America" to the entire body of water for U.S. users, infringes on Mexico's territorial rights and historical naming conventions. This legal action underscores a dispute over geographical nomenclature and national sovereignty, highlighting the tensions that can arise from differing national policies and the global reach of digital mapping services. 

2025-05-05 Canelo Alvarez defeated William Scull by unanimous decision on May 3, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, successfully defending his super-middleweight titles. However, the fight was largely considered underwhelming, with Scull often evading and Canelo landing mostly body shots in a bout described by some as a "sleepy victory." While Canelo secured the win, the fight lacked the excitement of his previous match against Jaime Munguia, where a more engaging exchange led to greater praise, and even his fight against John Ryder, where Ryder's toughness became a key talking point.
