Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has accused Liberal Party Leader Mark Carney of hiding his company’s money in Bermuda to avoid paying Canadian taxes. Poilievre has promised that if he forms a Conservative government, he will take strong action to crack down on the use of offshore tax havens, with the goal of recovering up to $1 billion in lost revenue each year. Poilievre stated that the money recovered from these tax havens would be used to offset a $14-billion income tax cut. Additionally, he outlined plans to establish a tax task force made up of experts who would review Canada’s

Since the resumption of the war against Hamas last month, Israel has seized more than 50 percent of Gaza. The majority of the territory captured by the Israeli army is located near the Gaza border, where Palestinian homes, farmland, and infrastructure have been severely damaged, making it increasingly difficult for residents to live in the area. Israel has stated that its military actions are temporarily necessary to pressure Hamas into releasing all those taken captive during the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Meanwhile, following a meeting in Washington on Monday, President Dona

Alberta's government is taking another step toward giving municipalities the option of ditching the RCMP in favour of a new provincial police service. Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis says an independent Alberta service could step in to help address concerns he's heard about the Mounties' staffing shortages and rising costs. If passed, a proposed bill would mean a new agency must operate under a Crown corporation that would be at arm's length from the government. An extra $6 million has been set aside for the agency's leadership team, but Ellis says if the province shifts about

Alberta's government will soon tie public hospital funding to the number and type of procedures performed, a move critics warn won't improve the public system and will only accelerate private delivery.

Smith says it will make the system more efficient, lower wait times, provide more transparency and attract more surgeons to the province. Albert
