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.

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

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
