Saskatchewan residents are waking up to another Saskatchewan Party government, after Premier Scott Moe secured a fifth-straight majority for the party in Monday's election.

Moe's party lost in the big cities while retaining its grip on rural areas to secure 35 seats in the 61-seat legislature.

The Saskatchewan Party was shut out by Carla Beck's NDP in Regina and lost all but two seats in Saskatoon.

Moe says he must do better.

He says he has heard the message sent by voters that there's unhappiness in how the province is delivering health care, education and making life more affordable.

Beck has said while she's disappointed by her loss, she's proud of the gains her party made and she will continue to hold Moe accountable.

One of Prime Minister Mark Carney's key staffers says he'll be stepping away from his role as he considers running for a seat in Parliament.

A forthcoming byelection in British Columbia will see the seat for North Vancouver—Capilano in Caley's home province up for grabs. The riding had been held by former cabinet minister Jonathan Wilkinson, who resigned this spring to become Canada's ambassador to the European Union. North Vancouver=Ca

Trump proposes charging other countries for Strait of Hormuz security

U.S. President Donald Trump has said the United States could assume responsibility for securing the Strait of Hormuz and should charge other countries that rely on the strategic waterway for its protection. According to Trump, the financial burden of safeguarding the route should not fall solely on the United States. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important maritime trade routes, carrying a significant share of global oil and natural gas shipments. Tensions between the United States and Iran over security in the waterway have intensified in recent months. Meanwhile, Iran has w
