Pierre Poilievre to vote against Carney government's spending bill

Canada's main opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has announced that he will vote against the Carney government's spending bill. This will be the first test for Prime Minister Mark Carney's minority government. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said that his party will vote against the Liberals' $486.9-billion spending bill on government programs and transfers. Poilievre said that the additional spending the government has sought approval from Parliament is not for investment, so his party is not going to support it. It is worth noting that the Liberals have 169 seats in the House of Com

Province strengthens response to combat downtown street crime, disorder

The BC government is launching a new Community Safety and Targeted Enforcement program. It aims to increase police capacity to tackle street crimes that affect businesses and communities, such as robberies, shoplifting and property damage. The province is providing up to $5 million in funding for the initiative, which will help police increase their resources. The government says it has seen the Vancouver Police Department see its biggest two-year reduction in violent and property crime in Hastings Crossing in January 2025, thanks to a special investigation and targeted enforcement program.

Alberta government extends deadline for judge's investigation into contract scandal

Alberta's government says it's extending the deadline for a former judge to investigate allegations of high-level conflict of interest and arm-twisting in health care contracts. Former Manitoba provincial court chief judge Raymond Wyant was expected to submit an interim report to the government today, followed by a full report next month. The government employee facilitating the investigation says the number of documents provided and interviews requested by the former judge means that initial time frame is no longer feasible. Deputy minister of jobs Chris McPherson says Wyant wil

Experts describe Eby's 10-day Asia tour as important

Experts have described Premier David Eby's 10-day Asia tour starting June 1 as very important. Kristen Hopewell, professor and director of the Liu Institute for Global Issues at the University of BC, said that due to our geographical location, it has been much easier for our BC and Canadian companies to trade with the US compared to the Asian market, and about 50 per cent of our trade has been going to the US, which is our biggest weakness at the moment. She said that with Eby's Asia trade mission, we hope to get access to other markets, which will allow the province to reduce its dependenc
