Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Canada is standing in solidarity with Poland and Ukraine after Russian drones violated NATO airspace.

Poland says multiple Russian drones entered its territory over the course of several hours overnight and were shot down with help from NATO allies.

Anand says on social media that this is "another horrendous example" of Russian President Vladimir Putin's refusal to seek peace.

Poland has triggered a formal consultation with NATO allies and Anand says Ottawa is again calling on Russia to end its unjustified and illegal war on Ukraine.

The Polish military described the incursion as an "act of aggression" carried out during a wave of Russian drone strikes on Ukraine, and European leaders have called this an intentional escalation.

Moscow claims it did not target Poland, while its close ally Belarus said some drones "lost their course" because of network jamming.

B.C. Opposition MLA Harman Bhangu has criticized Premier David Eby and the NDP government after the Elections Department approved the launch of a petition seeking to repeal the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). Bhangu welcomed the approval, accusing the Eby government of failing to take action on what he described as a controversial law. He said British Columbians now have a direct opportunity to push for the repeal of the legislation, which he claims has raised significant concerns about jobs, land rights and the province’s future. Bhangu said the B.C. Conservativ

U.S. Commerce Secretary Accuses Canada of Using Trade Talks for Political Gain

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has accused Canada of walking away from trade negotiations with the United States for political reasons rather than economic concerns.

However, he alleged that Canada backed away from the agreement to gain a political advantage ahead of Quebec’s upcoming election and a potential independence referendum in Alberta. Lutnick also dismissed conc

Quebec Election Campaign Heats Up as Trump and Trade War Take Centre Stage

Quebec’s provincial election campaign has officially heated up ahead of the October 5 vote, with U.S. President Donald Trump and the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade war emerging as major campaign issues. The focus on international economic tensions has, at least for now, pushed traditional provincial issues and the independence referendum debate further into the background. Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) Leader and Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette launched her campaign by portraying Trump as her party’s “real adversary.” She argued that Trump’s tariffs and economic policies pose a seri
