Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with King Charles at his royal residence in England today, marking the conclusion of his visit to the UK. During the meeting, they discussed matters of importance to Canada and Canadians, but no further details were released. The meeting took place amid ongoing tensions, as King Charles, in his role as head of state of Canada, has not publicly addressed former President Trump’s threats regarding the potential merger of Canada with the US. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson issued a statement explaining that Canada is a constitutional democracy, where the King

U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing in on domestic Canadian politics as his deadline to impose steep tariffs on Canada inches closer. In an interview with The Spectator, Trump called Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland terrible and "a whack" — and claimed credit for her resignation as finance minister. Trump also remarked on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, saying that "his biggest problem is he's not a MAGA guy." An edited transcript of the Thursday interview with Trump did not provide any new insights into what Canada might do to stop the devastating duties from going f

Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives chugged to a third majority government Thursday, propelled by his visible crusade against economic uncertainty emanating from the U.S., though falling short of the increased majority he urged. Critics said this $189-million snap Ontario election was unnecessary, dangerously timed as President Donald Trump's tariff knife dangles over Canada's head and called only to capitalize on good polling numbers, but voters did not appear too keen to punish Ford for it. However, they also didn't appear too keen to reward him for it. Despite Ford kicking off the campai

Measles is making a concerning return to Canada this year. According to the latest data from the Public Health Agency of Canada, as of February 21, 95 cases of measles have been reported. British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec are the provinces most affected by the outbreak.

New Democrat MP Charlie Angus is calling for a countrywide consumer boycott of Amazon to protest the online retail giant's closure of seven of its warehouses in Quebec. The closures have eliminated thousands of permanent full-time jobs, along with jobs at subcontracted suppliers. Angus and union officials — including Félix Trudeau, union president for the Laval, Que., Amazon warehouse — say Amazon should pay proper severance to those laid off. They also say the federal government should cancel all contracts with billionaire Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and force his company to pay back any feder

US President Donald Trump has once again made controversial remarks about Canada. During a conversation with reporters last evening, he expressed his affection for Canada and its people but stated that it is not right for the US to support Canada. He suggested that without US support, Canada would not exist as a country. Trump claimed that the US provides Canada with a subsidy of $200 billion every year, suggesting that Canada would struggle to function without it. He also reiterated his idea of making Canada the 51st state. However, Canadian experts have refuted these claims, pointing out th

Manitoba became the first province to officially join Ottawa's pharmacare program today, giving it access to federal funding to cover the cost of birth control and diabetes medications. Health Minister Mark Holland made the announcement in Winnipeg this morning. The federal government will spend $219 million on pharmacare coverage for Manitoba over four years and says contraceptives and diabetes medications will be provided "at little to no direct cost" to Manitobans. The Manitoba government launched a program last fall to cover the cost of birth control for its residents. The federal Pharmaca
