Liberals are not trustworthy at all: Jagmeet Singh

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh today launched a major attack on the Liberal Party led by Mark Carney. During the election campaign in Toronto, he said that the Liberals are not trustworthy at all. Jagmeet Singh said that history is a witness to this that the Liberals do the right thing only when the New Democrats force them to do so. Jagmeet Singh also said that he fears that if the Liberals come to power, they will make big cuts in the budget, which will revive the memory of the cuts made by the party in the 1990s. During this, he also commented on the Palestinian and Jewish communities. He sa

Emergency crews drafting plans to welcome home residents forced out by wildfire

Emergency crews responding to an out-of-control wildfire north of Edmonton say they are getting plans ready for residents to return home.

Saudi crown prince welcomes Trump to kingdom as US leader begins 4-day Middle East tour

President Donald Trump says at the start of his Middle East trip he believes he and Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler ``like each other a lot.'' Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman warmly greeted Trump after he landed Tuesday in Riyadh to start his four-day trip. Prince Mohammed has already committed to some $600 billion in new Saudi investment in the U.S., but Trump teases $1 trillion would be even better. The two leaders are expected to hold talks on U.S. efforts to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, end the war in Gaza and more. Trump also is slated to take part in a U.S.-Saudi investment confere
