Quebec provincial police say the criminal investigation into the murder of two young sisters by their father earlier this month is complete.

Police have provided an update on the investigation into the deaths of 6 year old Romy and 11 year old Norah Carpentier and the discovery of the body of Martin Carpentier, who took his own life.

Authorities say Carpentier used a blunt object to kill the girls before an Amber Alert was triggered on July 9th -- two days before their bodies were found.

Carpentier's body was found this week, following an intense manhunt.

B.C. finance minister urges Ottawa to match auto-sector aid with support for forestry industry

British Columbia’s Finance Minister Brenda Bailey is urging the federal government to provide the same level of support for the province’s forestry sector as it does for Ontario’s automobile industry. Bailey said she welcomes the overall direction of the federal budget released today, which she believes aligns with several of B.C.’s priorities. However, she emphasized that the province’s softwood lumber industry continues to face “extraordinary” duties and tariffs of more than 45 per cent, putting workers and communities under significant pressure. Her remarks followed an emergen

Conservatives and Bloc Québécois to Vote Against Federal Budget

The Conservative Party and the Bloc Québécois say they will not support the Liberal government’s new federal budget, narrowing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s options to keep his minority government afloat. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called the budget “an inflationary plan” and said his party cannot back what he described as a costly proposal. He said Conservatives wanted a budget that would make life more affordable for Canadians and announced plans to introduce an amendment aimed at restoring affordability. With both the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois opposed, the Lib

Zohraan Mamdani becomes New York City’s first Muslim mayor after defeating Andrew Cuomo

Democratic Party candidate Zohraan Mamdani has been elected as the new mayor of New York City, marking a historic moment as the first Muslim and Indian-origin person to lead the largest city in the United States. Mamdani, who previously served as a state assembly member, defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a closely watched mayoral race. Cuomo ran as an independent candidate after Mamdani replaced him on the Democratic ticket earlier this year. The campaign gained national attention after former President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Cuomo, warning that Mamdani’s leadership would brin

Anglican Diocese questions Alberta's use of notwithstanding clause on teachers

The Anglican Diocese of Edmonton is questioning the Alberta government’s decision to invoke the notwithstanding clause to end the ongoing provincewide teachers strike, saying the move could have troubling implications for democratic freedoms. Bishop Stephen London said in an open letter that while he does not wish to engage in partisan politics, the use of the clause to suspend Charter rights undermines fundamental freedoms such as freedom of association. He warned that limiting one group’s rights could have broader consequences for freedom of conscience and religion across Canada. The Uni

Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont quits Conservatives, joins Carney Liberals after budget

Nova Scotia Conservative MP Chris d’Entremont has crossed the floor to join Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government, marking a significant political shift ahead of crucial budget votes in Ottawa. In a statement released late Tuesday, the Liberal Party confirmed that d’Entremont resigned from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s caucus following the tabling of the 2025 federal budget.
