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.

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.
