Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced a significant policy proposal regarding Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs).

Trump threatens EU and Canada with more tariffs if they work together to harm U.S.

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening large tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they work together to do economic harm to the U.S. In a post on social media, Trump says the tariffs would be "far larger than currently planned.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is channelling Winston Churchill to categorically reject accusations she is turning her back on Canada by meeting and talking to U.S. officials and influencers who wish her country harm. It comes as Smith prepares to fly to Florida today to join an event with an American podcaster who has mocked Canada as a ``silly country'' and spoken about it being annexed as the 51st state. Smith, in a speech to the house, says it is now apparently, in her words, ``treason'' to talk to American media personalities whom we disagree with. And she says she is being unjustly
