Liberals are not trustworthy at all: Jagmeet Singh

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh today launched a major attack on the Liberal Party led by Mark Carney. During the election campaign in Toronto, he said that the Liberals are not trustworthy at all. Jagmeet Singh said that history is a witness to this that the Liberals do the right thing only when the New Democrats force them to do so. Jagmeet Singh also said that he fears that if the Liberals come to power, they will make big cuts in the budget, which will revive the memory of the cuts made by the party in the 1990s. During this, he also commented on the Palestinian and Jewish communities. He sa

Canada caught up in China-U.S. trade war as Trump claims fentanyl continues to flow

Pulling Canada into his trade war with China, U.S. President Donald Trump claims Chinese fentanyl continues to "pour" across both borders. Trump complained on social media today about Chinese airlines refusing to accept Boeing planes to protest his administration's massive tariffs on China. In his post, he says that fentanyl continues to flow into the U.S. from China through Mexico and Canada. Trump last month slapped economywide tariffs on Canada, linking the duties to the flow of people and fentanyl across the United States' northern border. He partially paused the levies a few days later. U
