Poilievre says Trudeau a 'human piñata' at NATO, still won't commit to spending goal

Pierre Poilievre says NATO allies treated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau like a human piñata at the leaders' summit this week but he still won't commit to the alliance's spending goal. The Conservative leader says Canada has lost its place on the international stage under the Liberal government, and Trudeau lectures the world without doing his part. The prime minister announced Thursday that he expects to hit NATO's defence spending target in 2032 after facing days of pressure at the three-day meeting in Washington, D.C. He did not share details about how Canada will get there. Poilievre says

Poilievre promises less interference, more economic control to Assembly of First Nations

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered his first in-person address to the Assembly of First Nations on Thursday, pledging to reduce federal intervention and empower Indigenous communities to take control of their economic futures. "I'm not here to control your lives. I don't want to control anyone's life," Poilievre stated. "I advocate for a small government that allows individuals to make their own choices and lead their own lives." Acknowledging the expertise of the delegates, Poilievre emphasized that they understand their communities far better than Ottawa or himself, vowing to eli

Four family members dead in another multiple-fatality B.C. road crash

Police in British Columbia say four people are dead after a highway collision in the southern Interior, part of a spate of multiple-fatality crashes in the province in the past week. RCMP say the crash involving two cars and a tractor trailer near Becks Road in Keremeos shut Highway 3 for eight hours on Wednesday. They say four members of the same extended family, all in the same vehicle, were found dead at the scene of the "terrible tragedy" that took place around 11:30 a.m. It's the latest in a series of at least four crashes in B.C. that have claimed 14 lives in the past week.

Jagmeet Singh takes a dig at Poilievre in AFN

In view of the elections to be held in Canada next year, the political parties are gearing up to woo people. Meanwhile, the parties are also trying to get the support of Indigenous people. After conservative leader Pierre Poilievre made many promises to First Nations chiefs in Montreal today, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh took sharp aim at Pierre Poilievre in his address. Jagmeet Singh said at the Assembly of First Nations that Poilievre talks a lot about freedom, but in reality he is only interested in his own freedom. Singh said that Poilievre does not care about anyone, and he is the one who s

Farnworth says the deal ensures safety for the residents of the Metro Vancouver city and comes with a guarantee that the local government will not levy a police tax to cover transition costs over the next decade. It ends a bitter two-year process of name-calling and

Alberta Court of Appeal Overturns Calgary Man’s Double Murder Conviction

The Alberta Court of Appeal has overturned the conviction of a Calgary man previously sentenced to life in prison for the 2020 killings of two men in northwest Calgary. Gerald Benn was initially found guilty of two counts of second-degree murder three years after the fatal shooting. At trial, the judge cited surveillance footage and DNA found on plastic bags at the scene as key evidence. In its ruling, the Court of Appeal concluded that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to conclusively prove Benn was the shooter. The decision means Benn’s conviction has been quashed, though th
