Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has reiterated his call for the Trudeau government to resume Parliament as soon as possible, amid a historic trade war with the United States. Poilievre stated that, like every Canadian, the Conservative Party is relieved to hear that the US will suspend tariffs for a month. However, he emphasized that this is not the time to relax. Canada must act immediately to strengthen its economy and ensure these tariffs are never imposed. The Conservative leader added that Parliament must resume to address these urgent issues. It is worth noting that Parliament has

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has criticized President Donald Trump, stating that Trump is using fentanyl as an excuse to exert economic pressure on Canada, as he has repeatedly expressed his desire to make Canada the 51st province. Singh pointed out that Trump frequently mentions fentanyl coming from Canada, while a significant amount of illegal drugs and weapons are actually smuggled into Canada from the United States. Singh emphasized that, instead of appeasing Trump, Canada should be prepared to respond firmly to any economic pressure he applies. It is worth noting that NDP Leader Jagmeet Sing

A US military C-17 Globemaster aircraft carrying approximately 200 illegal Indian immigrants is set to land at Amritsar airport on Wednesday morning. Most of these individuals reportedly hail from Punjab and neighboring states. This marks the first large-scale deportation of illegal Indian immigrants during Donald Trump’s second presidential term. It is also unprecedented for the US to use a military cargo plane for deportations to India. The Indian government has cooperated fully with the US administration in facilitating the repatriation process. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar pr

The tariff dispute between Canada and the US has been delayed for at least 30 days. PM Justin Trudeau assured former US President Donald Trump that Canada is enacting a $1.3 billion border security plan. This includes deploying helicopters, advanced technology, and additional personnel to combat illegal human trafficking and drug smuggling. As part of the agreement, Canada will appoint a special fentanyl czar and designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations. PM Trudeau also announced that the border will be monitored 24/7, and a joint strike force between Canada and the US will target or

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced plans to deploy the military to the Canada-US border if he comes to power. Speaking to reporters in Vancouver, the opposition leader unveiled his six-point plan to strengthen Canada’s border with the US. Poilievre stated that Canada should regain control of its border, not just to appease President Trump but for the country’s own interests. He emphasized that the US must take concrete steps on its border, and so should Canada. He also proposed allowing Canada Border Services agents to patrol every part of the border, not just at authorize

Ontario, Canada's most populous province, has announced the cancellation of its internet contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink, following President Donald Trump’s imposition of heavy tariffs on Canada. Premier Doug Ford also stated that American companies would be banned from participating in the province’s contracts. The Ontario government had signed a $100 billion deal with Starlink in November, aiming to provide high-speed internet to 15,000 homes and businesses in rural and remote areas by June of this year through Starlink’s satellite service. Ford emphasized that Ontario would cont

Alberta's law society is to hold a hearing to sanction former provincial justice minister Kaycee Madu. Madu was found guilty of misconduct last year when, as justice minister in 2021, he phoned Edmonton's police chief after receiving a traffic ticket. Madu told a hearing last year he didn't call Chief Dale McFee about the ticket, but was looking for reassurance that he wasn't being racially profiled or illegally surveilled. A panel of law society members determined that while Madu didn't ask McFee to do anything about the ticket, he did try to use his position of power to influenc

The Canadian dollar fell to its lowest level in nearly two decades on Monday, trading at 68.13 US cents. This marks its weakest point since 2003. The decline follows US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, effective Tuesday. On Friday, the Canadian dollar was valued at 69.04 US cents. In retaliation, Canada plans to impose equivalent tariffs on $30 billion worth of American goods starting Tuesday. While the tariffs will raise prices on US imports, the weaker Canadian dollar will further increase the cost of imported goods and make international travel mor

Canada’s opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, announced Monday that, if elected prime minister, he would implement a plan to enhance domestic trade, aiming to add over $200 billion to Canada’s GDP. The Conservative leader described former U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs as a wake-up call, urging Canadian provinces to collaborate and improve internal trade. Poilievre emphasized that Canadians expect their leaders to take decisive steps toward self-reliance, beginning with stronger domestic trade networks. While acknowledging that this initiative alone cannot fully offset economic d
