Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has said that his party will fully support the Carney government in dealing with the US trade war. Poilievre said that we all want to permanently end the tariffs with the US and his Conservative party will work with the government to do this.

He made the comments while addressing Conservative MPs in Ottawa yesterday. Poilievre said that I have already expressed my intention to the Prime Minister that we would be happy to cooperate in any way on this issue.

It is worth noting that Poilievre is currently preparing for a by-election and will lead the party in the House of Commons until Andrew Scheer returns to Parliament. Scheer said earlier this month that he would support the Liberals as much as possible on trade and security issues with the United States.

Abbotsford teen faces almost $1,800 in fines after speeding away from BC Highway Patrol and crashing into a parked dump truck

Everybody makes mistakes sometimes, and if you’re caught speeding, it’s best to just pull over and accept the consequences. On July 21, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., an Abbotsford boy made his situation immeasurably worse when he did not accept the consequences. The trouble started when a BC Highway Patrol officer used laser radar to record a grey BMW sedan going 180 km/h in a 100 zone on Highway #1 at Popkum, BC. To the officer, the speeding grey BMW made other highway traffic look like it was standing still, said Corporal Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. The BMW was not pursued, but a fe
