Jagmeet Singh was furious at the wrong comments made by the protesters

The case of NDP leader Jagmeet Singh making inappropriate comments by two protesters outside the parliament yesterday has sparked a debate on increasing the security of MPs and federal party leaders. On Tuesday, when Jagmeet Singh was walking out of Parliament, a protester called him a corrupt, bastard, using foul language. However, as soon as Jagmeet Singh turned around, he surrounded the two protestors and asked who said that they refused. On this, the NDP leader retaliated and said that you do not have the courage to criticize in front. These protestors were also telling Jagmeet Singh whe

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says as classrooms get over whelmed with new grade school students, her government will fast-track new school builds with 8.6-billion dollars over the next three years.

She says often the only thing holding back cash is school boards getting projects and sites ready for construction. The government is also changing the process of approving construction funding so school boards don't need to wait eve

Former cabinet minister appeals to Elections B.C. to register New Liberal Party of BC

Former federal cabinet minister Herb Dhaliwal says he wants to revive a liberal party for those left politically homeless in British Columbia after the BC United Party suspended its campaign in the upcoming provincial election. Dhaliwal says he wants "moderate, centrist" voters to get behind the New Liberal Party of BC in time for the election on October 19. Dhaliwal says in a statement that the former BC Liberal Party that rebranded as BC United was doomed by a "backroom deal" with the BC Conservative Party that left moderate voters without a "preferred political choice on the ballot."

Byelection win: Bloc Québécois to squeeze Liberals for gains, not trigger election

The Bloc Québécois leader says he's in no hurry to trigger a federal election and will instead stick with his plan to extract gains from the minority Liberal government. Yves-François Blanchet made the comments to reporters today after his party's stunning byelection victory in the former Liberal stronghold of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, in Montreal's southwest. Blanchet says the NDP's decision to end its agreement with the Liberals that had propped up the minority government gave his party the momentum it needed to win the riding by just 248 votes. With the victory, which was announced earl

Melanie Joly Demands Stelco Reinstate Laid-Off Workers Before Talks

Canada’s Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has sent a strongly worded letter to Stelco President Paul Simon, demanding the immediate reinstatement of laid-off workers at the Ontario-based steelmaker. Joly said she is willing to meet with Stelco representatives and Lourenco Goncalves, CEO of its U.S. parent company, Cleveland-Cliffs. However, she made it clear that reinstating the laid-off workers would be a precondition for any discussions. Criticizing Goncalves, Joly said the company cannot use U.S. tariffs, which are hurting businesses on both sides of the border, as an excuse for the layoff
