Liberal leadership contenders will take the stage again Tuesday night for the English-language debate in Montreal their last shot to confront each other in person and shake up the race.

The four candidates left in the race played it safe in Monday night’s French-language debate.

Presumed front-runner Mark Carney had his guard up and stumbled the most in French.

But none of the other candidates attacked him despite his perceived lead.

Freeland even bailed Carney out of one jam when he flubbed a comment about Hamas and the war in Gaza.

On Wednesday, Liberal party members will be able to start casting advance votes for the person who will replace Justin Trudeau at the top of the party.

School bus fire: Quebec pulls all 1,200 Lion electric buses off roads for inspection

Schools across Quebec have been forced to cancel bus service after the government pulled all of the roughly 1,200 Lion electric buses in the province off the roads. The provincial government said it took the preventive measure after a Lion electric school bus caught fire in Montreal earlier this week. Several children and a driver were inside the bus when it caught fire but no one was injured. In response to the government's decision, some school service centres chose to cancel bus routes, and others cancelled the school day entirely. The Quebec government said it pulled the buses so that they

Canada Post union to lift overtime ban, stop delivering flyers

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says it will lift its overtime ban as of Monday at 12:01 am local time, and instead implement a ban on commercial flyer delivery. CUPW president Jan Simpson is calling on Canada Post to get back to the bargaining table in hopes of wrapping up the ongoing dispute before the holiday season. The union has banned overtime work since late May as it works to secure a new contract with Canada Post. Late last month, the union responded to Canada Post's latest offers with a proposal that called for higher wages but made some allowances for part-time worker

Danielle Smith, Alberta Next panel received warmly by Lethbridge crowd in latest stop

Premier Danielle Smith's Alberta Next panel received a relatively warm welcome from a crowd in Lethbridge during the seventh stop of its provincewide tour taking the public's temperature on Alberta's relationship with Ottawa. The friendly audience was interspersed with pushback from people in attendance who voiced their displeasure with the government and many of the proposals being put forward. The town halls are aimed at addressing grievances Smith says are allowing separatist sentiments to fester and the results are to inform which questions may be put to a referendum next year.
