Elections Canada says more than 19.2M voters cast a ballot in federal election

Elections Canada says more than 67 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot in the federal election more than 19.2 million people. While this election was widely expected to see increased turnout, it did not surpass the record set in March 1958, when 79.4 per cent of eligible electors voted. But turnout was higher than in the last federal election, when 62.6 per cent of eligible voters headed to the polls. With votes still being counted, voter turnout still has some room to climb. The Liberal party is currently leading with 43.6 per cent of the total vote and is set to hold 168 seats, while t

Canada to Introduce New Bill Targeting Imports Made With Forced Labour

The move comes after the Trump administration warned that countries it considers ineffective in blocking imports linked to forced labour could face an additional 10 per cent tariff on trade with the United States. U.S. officials recently criticized several trading partners, including Canada, for what they described as insufficient enforcement measures. Foreign Affairs
