Canada May Soon Face an Election Call, Mark Carney Expected to Announce Snap Election Before March 24

Canada may soon face an election call, with Mark Carney expected to announce the election before Parliament resumes on March 24. Reports suggest that Carney could make a general election announcement on Wednesday and convene a meeting of premiers later this week. If the Liberals were to lose in a potential snap election, Carney could become Canada's shortest-serving prime minister. Currently, the record for the shortest tenure is held by former Prime Minister Charles Tupper, who served for only 69 days in 1896. If an early election is called, it is expected that Canadians could vote in late A

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says that he will repeal the entire carbon price law if elected, including on businesses and the industrial charge. On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney began the process to end the consumer carbon price on things like gasoline. The order-in-council says the fee will be removed after March 31. Poilievre says that if the Liberals are serious about ending the charge, they would recall Parliament and do it through legislation, in a video posted on social media. To reduce emissions, Poilievre says his government would "expand eligibility" for the clean techno

Carney’s Government is Not Prioritizing Labor, Unions, and Workers: Jagmeet Singh

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney for not assigning any specific portfolios for women, youth, or people with disabilities. Singh also pointed out that Carney’s cabinet does not include a dedicated labor minister. He noted that Steven McKinnon now serves as the Minister of Jobs and Families, and while labor-related matters may still fall under his responsibilities, the portfolio’s name carries significant meaning. Singh stated that this demonstrates Carney’s government is not prioritizing labor, unions, or workers.

Alberta surpasses 300 measles cases as doctors warn of exponential increases

More than 300 people in Alberta have fallen ill from measles since March and a group of doctors are warning the virus could grow exponentially in the coming weeks. The Alberta government is reporting 16 new measles cases to bring the province's total count to 313. The rising number has prompted the association representing Alberta doctors to warn of an outbreak that could quickly reach the thousands. Dr. James Talbot, Alberta's former chief medical officer of health, says cases are likely much higher than reported and that for every 1,000 cases, one to three people will likely die.

Surrey mayor asks Carney for a Surrey MP in cabinet

Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke has asked Premier Mark Carney to give the MP from Surrey a seat in his cabinet. She said that Surrey is about to become the first city in BC to reach a population of 1 million and it also borders the United States, so given the city’s development needs, we believe that Surrey should have a strong voice in the federal cabinet. The mayor said that I believe this will be an important step to support and ensure the continued growth of Surrey. She said that the city is growing by an average of 28 residents per day.
