Hundreds of demonstrators arrived at Calgary's Municipal Plaza on Sunday to bring attention to the many concerns they feel world leaders need to grapple with when they meet in Kananaskis, Alta., over the next three days.

KANANASKIS — Prime Minister Mark Carney will meet this morning with U.S. President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in Alberta. It’s Trump’s first visit to Canada since he started repeatedly saying the country should become an American state, leading Canadians to boo the American anthem at hockey games.

Carney also invited leaders of non-member countries to the summit, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which sparked a protest in Ottawa on Saturday. The RCMP has accused agents of Modi's government of playing a role in "widespread violence" in Canada.

As President Donald Trump arrives in Canada to meet with world leaders at the Group of Seven summit, his key priorities threaten to be overshadowed by the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.

The last time Canada hosted the meeting, US President Donald Trump torpedoed the gathering, calling his host 'dishonest & weak.'

Also looming over the meeting are President Trump's inflammatory threats to make Canada the 51st state and take over Greenland.

As world leaders convene for the G7 summit in Alberta, Canada, on June 16, 2025, an escalating conflict between Israel and Iran will probably be one of the issues taking centre stage.

South Korea's newly elected President Lee Jae-myung on Monday embarked on his first overseas trip to attend the G7 summit in Canada, Seoul-based Yonhap News reported.
