Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in an interview broadcast on Friday that if Republican candidate Donald Trump wins the 2024 American elections, it could damage the global effort to fight climate change.

This comment of Trudeau has come after Trump said last week that if he becomes the president again, he will withdraw the 3 billion American dollars given in the global fund for developing countries in relation to climate change.

In an interview with Canadian Broadcasting Corp, Turdeau said that Trump's statement is truly alarming, especially at a time when it is so important to move forward to protect and create the economy for future generations.

Trudeau said that Trump's withdrawal from the fight against climate change will slow the world's progress in ways that concern not only Canada but the world.

B.C. union calls for expanded work-from-home policy amid rising fuel costs

The B.C. General Employees’ Union is urging the provincial government to allow full-time remote work for provincially regulated employees as fuel prices rise, citing financial pressure on workers. In a statement, the union – which represents about 35,000 public service workers among more than 95,000 members – said a temporary work-from-home policy would help offset costs linked to higher gasoline prices. The increase is tied to global supply concerns amid the ongoing Iran conflict, according to the union. The union also called on the province to consider additional relief measures for em
