He also said that if he succeeds in building good trade relations with the European Union and the UK, and at the same time an agreement is reached with the US, then this will be the biggest advantage for Cana

Elections Canada says more than 19.2M voters cast a ballot in federal election

Elections Canada says more than 67 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot in the federal election more than 19.2 million people. While this election was widely expected to see increased turnout, it did not surpass the record set in March 1958, when 79.4 per cent of eligible electors voted. But turnout was higher than in the last federal election, when 62.6 per cent of eligible voters headed to the polls. With votes still being counted, voter turnout still has some room to climb. The Liberal party is currently leading with 43.6 per cent of the total vote and is set to hold 168 seats, while t

B.C. to hold an independent commission into festival attack, considers public inquiry

British Columbia Premier David Eby says his government will launch an independent commission into the Vancouver festival attack that killed 11 people and a public inquiry if the criminal case doesn't provide answers the public is looking for. Eby says the commission will have a "quick turn around" to get full answers for organizers of events and festivals in the province by June. He says he wants the public to be able to "gather and celebrate" over the summer without feeling unsafe. The premier says if it weren't for the police investigation and upcoming criminal trial, his government would al

Speaking to the media after her victory, May said that she is not surprised by the results and is excited to return to work in Ottawa. It is worth noting that t

Alberta Premier Smith congratulates Carney, warns him against future 'hostile acts'

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has delivered a note of congratulations along with a sharply worded warning and a blanket condemnation to Prime Minister Mark Carney and his new Liberal government. Smith is urging Carney to immediately reset the relationship with her province, accusing the Liberals of undermining Alberta’s resource-based economy for a decade. Smith says she will see about steps to shield Alberta from what she calls “hostile acts” from Ottawa, adding the Liberals and NDP have “demeaned and demonized Albertans” for political gain. The Liberals were returned to power in M

US President may cut income tax, many countries will be affected

US President Donald Trump may soon take new decisions, which will affect many countries including Canada, India, China. Trump may decide to cut income tax in the coming months. He believes that the government can be run with the profits from tariffs. If this happens, the global market will be affected by this. Instability in world trade will increase. Trump says that between 1870-1913, America's revenue mainly came from tariffs and during this time the country was very rich. He claims that America is earning 2 to 3 billion dollars daily due to tariffs. It is also being said that Trump may red

Carney says it's 'foundational' to have diplomatic ties with India

Prime Minister Mark Carney says that reinstating key diplomats between Canada and India is a "foundational" step in restoring the relationship between the two countries. But Carney still refuses to say whether he raised the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this week. He also would not say what India has done since Canada expelled six top Indian diplomats in October over allegations Indian agents or their proxies were engaging in violent crimes directed at Canadians including murder, extortion and coercion.

Two major wildfires in northeast B.C. are downgraded, leaving just one fire of note

Two of the three most significant wildfires in British Columbia have been downgraded and are no longer considered fires of note. They include the 263-square-kilometre Kiskatinaw River wildfire in northeastern B.C., which was deemed on Wednesday to be no longer out of control. The Pocket Knife Creek wildfire northwest of Fort. St. John, the biggest blaze in B.C. at more than 1,500 square kilometres, has also lost wildfire-of-note status, having earlier been removed from the out-of-control stage. Both fires are now considered to be held, meaning they aren't expected to grow beyond current perime

New tariffs will be imposed in the coming weeks to protect the industry from unfair trading practices and overcapacity, Carney says. The heads of the Canadian Steel Producers Association and the United Steelworkers are visiting Parliament Hill today and calling for urgent

Company to pay $330K after Edmonton worker trapped in smokehouse, dies in 92 C heat
