Police forces say they are gearing up to find a way to keep more than 3,400 people safe alongside the Rocky Mountains during this summer's G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alta. A report to the Calgary Police Commission says police expect about 70 official guests, 2,000 delegates and 1,400 journalists will be in the area between Calgary and Kananaskis for the summit. Police forces from across Canada will support security efforts, including authorities from Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver. The RCMP says teams will be on the alert for modern security threats such as drones along with the f

U.S. President Donald Trump says economy-wide tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go ahead next week as planned. Trump's comments on Truth Social today come after days of confusing statements from him and his officials. On Wednesday, Trump suggested that the 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs wouldn't land until April 2 — but a White House official later said they could still take effect on March 4. In his post this morning, Trump says "drugs are still pouring" in from Canada and Mexico and unless it is "stopped or seriously limited," the tariffs will go into effect "on MARCH FOURTH." Public

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has called for US President Donald Trump to be banned from attending the upcoming G7 summit in Canada. Singh criticized Trump, questioning why Canada should invite someone who poses a threat to the country’s sovereignty, economic prosperity, and global stability. He also raised concerns about allowing a convicted criminal to enter Canada. Singh made these comments during an event at the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations in Quebec. It is important to note that Canada is set to host the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17.

More than 28,000 people have signed a parliamentary petition urging Ottawa to bar U.S. President Donald Trump from Canada for persistently threatening the country's sovereignty. Alberta resident Gerard Aldridge, who recently initiated the electronic petition, says he's a fiercely proud Canadian who sees an opportunity to make a difference on an issue of grave concern. Trump has threatened to impose widespread tariffs on Canadian products and has openly suggested that Canada become a U.S. state. The president usually attends the annual gathering of G7 leaders, which is being held this June in K

President Trump has announced a delay in the plan to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico, with the new deadline set for April 2. The president made this statement during his first cabinet meeting in Washington on Wednesday. Just two days earlier, Trump had indicated that the tariffs would take effect on March 4. A White House official also suggested that the tariff plan could be adjusted through ongoing negotiations, creating continued uncertainty around the issue. In response, the Canadian Labour Congress has called for an emergency online meeting tonight to discuss the potential impact of t

The Supreme Court of Canada says it's moving away from the social media platform X.In an apparent farewell post to its more than 45,000 subscribers, the top court says it will focus its communication efforts on other platforms. It invites people to follow the court on its LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts for updates. The Supreme Court had no immediate response when The Canadian Press asked it why it is distancing itself from the social media platform. According to its account profile, the court joined the platform in 2015 when it was known as Twitter. In recent years, Chief

The number of Canadians supporting a petition against Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship has surpassed 263,000. The province with the most signatures so far is Ontario, where more than 96,000 people have backed the demand to revoke Musk’s citizenship. This is followed by nearly 53,000 signatures from British Columbia, 43,000 from Quebec, and more than 25,000 from Alberta. Musk’s Canadian citizenship has been in the spotlight recently after British Columbia author Qualia Reed launched the petition last week. Musk currently holds citizenship in the United States, Canada, and South Africa, w

U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to hit Canada and Mexico with devastating duties is set to take effect next week but a White House official confirmed on background that the tariff plans could change through negotiations. Trump's executive order to implement 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian imports, with a lower 10 per cent levy on energy, was delayed until March 4 after Canada agreed to introduce new security measures at the border. The president said the pause would allow time to reach a "final economic deal." Trump said Monday that the levies would be going forward on schedule — but

With the debates now done, Liberal party members can start casting advance ballots today to select their next leader a little under two weeks from now. They can cast their ranked ballot choices by mail or in some instances by phone, and each electoral district counts for 100 points in the race. Former central bank governor Mark Carney, former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, former government House leader Karina Gould and Montreal businessman Frank Baylis all made their pitches to Liberal voters in the only two debates of the race on Monday and Tuesday. Carney is widely perceived to be th
