The Liberal Party of Canada has disclosed the reasons behind Chandra Arya’s exclusion from the leadership race and his candidacy for the Ottawa riding. Reports suggest that Arya was removed due to concerns about alleged foreign interference involving India. According to a report by The Globe and Mail, Arya had traveled to India last August and met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi without notifying the Canadian government about the visit.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has proposed the elimination of the GST on everyday items to help Canadians cope with the financial impact of tariffs imposed during Donald Trump’s administration.

Premier Danielle Smith is getting set to fly to Florida for an event hosted by a far-right U.S. influencer, with her chief of staff calling the foray a patriotic act of courage by a ``noble'' leader. Smith is to make a speaking appearance this week with conservative media personality Ben Shapiro at an upcoming fundraiser for PragerU, despite weeks of calls for her to cancel. Alberta's Opposition NDP is renewing its demand that Smith abandon the trip, saying she is using taxpayer money to fundraise for an extremist organization after she's asked Americans to interfere in Canada's election.

During the Canadian elections, Jagmeet Singh has made it clear that he will not back down despite facing significant challenges. Singh acknowledged that there are some serious challenges they are facing, and working people are encountering big difficulties. It is important to note that Singh has been leading the party since 2017, making this election a pivotal moment for him politically. Despite his extensive political experience, public opinion polls indicate that his party is trailing far behind the Liberals and Conservatives ahead of the April 28 elections. These elections are especially c

Former Canadian immigration and housing minister Sean Fraser has made his return to federal politics, confirming on Tuesday that he will run for office in his Central Nova riding in Nova Scotia. Fraser's decision comes nearly three months after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced last year that he would not seek re-election, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. In the interim, the party had fielded another candidate for Central Nova. However, Sean Fraser's return was supported by party leader Mark Carney, who described it as an extraordinary case, emphasizing that Canada ne
