  NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) have reached an agreement to collaborate on the Gateway, an outpost circling the Moon that would offer critical support for a long-term return of personnel to the lunar surface as part of NASA's Artemis program. This Gateway agreement reinforces the United States' comprehensive endeavor to involve international partners in sustainable lunar exploration as part of the Artemis program and to demonstrate technology required for human trips to Mars. CSA will supply the Gateway's exterior robotics system, which includes a next-generation robotic arm known as Canadarm3. CSA will also provide robotic interfaces for Gateway modules, allowing for the installation of payloads such as the Gateway's first two scientific equipment.

  OMG, the festival vibes were on when the mills began grinding in late July or early August after being blessed and calling on the saints for protection35.

  Work Permits for CUSMA The Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) is an economic agreement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. It makes trade easier between the three countries by, among other things, letting certain types of temporary workers into each other's markets. American citizens with a job offer from a Canadian employer can get a CUSMA work permit through the International Mobility Program and come work in Canada temporarily without having to go through a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). They also make it easy for American companies with branches in Canada to move American managers and executives to other companies.
