After winning the election as the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney has made a big statement.

Carney said that Canada deserves equal respect from the US and any agreement between the two countries on trade and security will be made on Canada's terms. 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

Green co-Leader Elizabeth May wins B.C. seat for 5th term

Elizabeth May, co-leader of the federal Green Party in BC, will represent Saanich-Gulf Island on Vancouver Island for the fifth time in the House of Commons.

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

Hockey players' sexual assault trial hears from former world junior teammates

The sexual assault trial of five former members of Canada's world junior hockey team is hearing today from other players who were on the 2018 team. Taylor Raddysh, who now plays in the NHL for the Washington Capitals, was asked what he remembers about several days in June 2018 when many of the team's members were in London, Ont., for a handful of events marking their victory in that year's championship. Court heard part of a transcript of a statement Raddysh gave in July 2018, in which he recalled seeing a woman in bed under the covers in the room of his then-teammate Michael McLeod in the ear

Day of mourning in B.C. as Vancouver festival attack suspect to face court

It's a day of remembrance and mourning in British Columbia today for victims of the deadly attack at a Filipino festival, as the suspect in the killings faces court. A community spokesman says the official day of mourning for the 11 people who died after an SUV sped through a crowded street will be part of the healing process but "certainly not the end of it." RJ Aquino with Filipino BC, the group that organized the Lapu Lapu Day event last Saturday, says the government's designation of the day of mourning shows the significance of the tragedy in the history of the province and the city.

Alberta's Smith says she doesn't see 'an appetite' for provincial pension plan

The idea of Alberta opting out of the Canada Pension Plan isn't going anywhere -- at least for now. Premier Danielle Smith says she won't be putting the creation of a provincial pension plan to a referendum any time soon. Smith says she doesn't think Albertans have ``an appetite'' to pull out of the national pension program, and says the issue is further clouded by lack of detail on how much the province would get if it left. In December, Canada's chief actuary published a report saying Alberta's perceived stake of the Canadian Pension Plan's overall assets was substantially over
