poilievre took aim at Jagmeet Singh's withdrawal of support from Trudeau

The leader of Canada's main opposition, Pierre Polivray, has termed Jagmeet Singh's withdrawal of support from Trudeau as a media stunt. Polivray said Singh, who struck a deal with the Liberals two years ago after scuttling Wakkar's interests, has only grabbed headlines today, not clarifying whether the NDP would vote in support of a no-confidence motion for the carbon tax election at the first opportunity. Poilievre said Jagmeet Singh sided with Trudeau to quadruple the carbon tax, which would not only force Canadians to rely on food banks but would also cripple the economy and destroy thous

Jagmeet Singh pulls out of supply-and-confidence deal with Trudeau government

In March 2022, the Liberals and NDP penned a deal that would keep the minority government led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power until June 2025 and move ahead on some mutually agreeable policies. It was called a confidence and supply agreement. The move puts Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority at risk of falling at any time in the coming weeks or months if it loses any confidence votes, which could trigger a snap election as soon as this fall. "Justin Trudeau has proven again and again he will always cave to corporate greed. The Liberals have let people down. They don't deserve

Trudeau should step down to prevent Poilievre from winning election: LGBTQ+ activists

LGBTQ+ activists say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's pledge to remain the Liberal leader through to the next election, despite dwindling public support, is putting them at risk. Queer advocates say a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre would be dangerous for the LGBTQ+ community, and some are calling on Trudeau to step aside to give the Liberals a better chance at winning the next election — which must happen by Oct. 20, 2025. Sarah Worthman, executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Queer Research Initiative, says she’s seriously concerned about the potential harm o

BoC expected to cut key interest rate, despite stronger-than-anticipated growth in Q2

Overall economic growth also halted toward the end of the quarter as real gross domestic

International student enrolment drops below federal cap: Universities Canada

Universities Canada says enrolment by students from outside Canada has fallen below the cap the federal government set on international student visas this year. The immigration minister announced a cap in January as a way to quell the rapid increase in the number of international students, citing pressure on housing, health care and other services. The new policy limits the number of student visa applications the government would accept into processing, and it's expected that will result in a 35 per cent drop in the number of students in 2024 compared to last year.
