The Canadian Parliament begins today and during this session, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre can introduce a no-confidence motion against PM Justin Trudeau's minority Liberal government at any time.

The special thing is that although NDP president Jagmeet Singh has broken the agreement with the Liberals, the party has not shown any interest in elections in the near future, but Poilievre is putting full pressure to topple the government. He has also challenged the Bloc Quebecois to face the Liberals.

Poilievre also alleged that Jagmeet Singh is making voters wait for a change of government to secure his pension. At the same time, Jagmeet Singh has countered by saying that his party will take a deliberate decision for any voting in the House keeping in mind the interest of Canadians. On the other hand, the Bloc Québécois is ready to support the government with certain conditions.

It is worth noting that there are several important bills pending in Parliament, including the NDP-backed Pharmacare bill which is in the Senate.

Carney ties Trump’s tariff threat to upcoming CUSMA negotiations

Prime Minister Mark Carney says U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods is closely linked to upcoming talks on renewing the North American free-trade agreement. Trump, in a weekend post on social media referring to Carney as “governor,” warned that Canada could face 100 per cent tariffs if it completes a trade deal with China. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa on Monday, Carney described Trump as a “strong negotiator” and suggested that the president’s comments should be considered in the context of broader trade discussions.

Prime Minister Mark Carney may visit India in early March as Canada looks to expand trade ties

Government sources indicate discussions during the visit could focus on cooperation in uranium, energy, critical minerals and artificial intelligence. The proposed trip is seen as a key step in Ottawa’s strategy to diversify trade and reduce reliance on the U.S. market.

In addition to the annual increase, the federal government will issue a one-time payment in 2026 valued a
