Canada's main opposition party has criticized the recent Liberal leadership debate. Conservative MP Michael Barrett expressed surprise that no one challenged Mark Carney on his views regarding the carbon tax or his stance on immigration, despite Carney's previous statements claiming to have a plan to crack down on immigration. The Conservatives also called on Mark Carney to clarify his proficiency in French after a colleague had to correct him during a live debate. Reports indicate that Carney mistakenly stated in a French-language debate about the future of Gaza that he agreed with Hamas, a

U.S. has reversed its stance on the Ukraine war. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. has supported Russia in the United Nations. In fact, three resolutions were brought to the United Nations on Monday, seeking to end the three-year-old conflict. America voted against these resolutions, marking the first time it has taken a position contrary to its European allies on the Russia-Ukraine issue. Specifically, America voted against a resolution proposed by Europe in the United Nations, which condemned Russia's aggression and supported Ukraine's territorial integrity. As a result, significant

Alberta Infrastructure Minister Peter Guthrie says he is resigning from cabinet, citing concerns over procurement practices across government. He says as a backbencher he'll be able to better serve his constituents by pushing Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservative Party government to conduct itself with honesty and integrity. Guthrie made headlines earlier this month, urging Health Minister Adriana LaGrange be removed from her cabinet job amid allegations of government arm-twisting and favouritism surrounding overpriced health deals. Smith has repeatedly defended LaGrange a

An overnight windstorm along British Columbia's south coast has knocked out power for thousands. BC Hydro is reporting more 7,000 people along southern Vancouver Island woke up to outages on Tuesday. More than 20,000 had power knocked out during the storm across the island and the Lower Mainland although it had been restored to most by 9 a.m. Environment Canada says peak winds were felt along the coast, with Discovery Island off Victoria seeing the highest gusts of up to 96 km/h.

Liberal leadership contenders will take the stage again Tuesday night for the English-language debate in Montreal their last shot to confront each other in person and shake up the race. The four candidates left in the race played it safe in Monday night’s French-language debate. Presumed front-runner Mark Carney had his guard up and stumbled the most in French. But none of the other candidates attacked him despite his perceived lead. Freeland even bailed Carney out of one jam when he flubbed a comment about Hamas and the war in Gaza. On Wednesday, Liberal party members will be able to start

British Columbia Opposition Leader John Rustad is proposing a "carbon tax" on U.S. thermal coal that is shipped out of B.C. ports to use as leverage against threats of American tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber. Rustad says such a tax would be a "tool to fight back" on softwood tariffs and duties proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, which Forests Minister Ravi Parmar said last week could increase to more than 50 per cent. He says that until "unfair and unwarranted" U.S. duties on B.C. softwood are removed, the province needs "to be ready to hit the Americans where it hurts.” The B.C. C

Punjab Aam Aadmi Party President Aman Arora has hit back at senior Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa, stating that Bajwa is certain to join the BJP. Arora claimed that Bajwa has already secured his "advance booking" with the BJP and suggested that Rahul Gandhi should ask Bajwa about the prominent BJP leaders he met in Bengaluru.
