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.

First Nation seeking court ruling on Alberta ending coal mining moratorium

An Alberta First Nation is asking a judge to review the provincial government's decision earlier this year to end its moratorium on coal mining. In an application for judicial review filed this week, Siksika Nation says Alberta failed in its duty to consult when in January it lifted its moratorium on new coal mining projects on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Siksika Nation, 95 kilometres east of Calgary, says the effects of coal mining in the Rockies threaten Treaty rights and the land that supports its livelihood. It's the second time Siksika Nation has challenged a Un

Statistics Canada says merchandise trade deficit $5.9 billion in May

Statistics Canada says the country's merchandise trade deficit narrowed to $5.9 billion in May as gold exports climbed higher. The result compares with the record trade deficit of $7.6 billion seen in April. Exports were up 1.1 per cent in May at $60.8 billion as exports of metal and non-metallic mineral products increased 15.1 per cent in May.
