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.

Trump’s Possible U.S. Diesel Export Ban Could Drive Up Global Prices

Consumers in Canada and around the world could face higher costs if U.S. President Donald Trump moves ahead with a potential ban on American diesel exports. Trump has recently indicated that he could restrict diesel exports in an effort to lower prices for U.S. consumers. Rising oil prices linked to the war in the Middle East are creating political pressure ahead of the November midterm elections, with Republicans facing the risk of losing control of Congress. Media reports suggest the proposed restriction could remain in place for 90 days. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has confirmed t
