Pierre Poilievre targets Mark Carney's Mexico trip

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre today targeted Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to Mexico, saying that Carney has returned empty-handed. Poilievre said that the Prime Minister's visit was all about air-to-air talk and nothing but fake deals. He said that our free trade with Mexico has been in place for three decades and Carney's visit has added nothing new to it except a photo shoot. Poilievre is also attacking the Prime Minister over the delay in the federal budget, saying that Carney calls himself a 'great economist' but never ask him why the budget was delayed so much or how big the

Liberals’ new hate crime bill targets 'symbols' of hate

The Liberal government has introduced legislation to create four new hate-related criminal offences. Justice Minister Sean Fraser says the bill will create new crimes of obstruction and intimidation aimed at protecting religious institutions.
