Two former New Democrat MPs who lost their seats in the April election are launching a project to renew the party ahead of its March convention. Peter Julian and Matthew Green say their volunteer group is hoping to engage with party members across the country after the party's crushing election loss. The NDP lost official party status when it elected only seven members in April, and Jagmeet Singh stepped down as leader when he lost his own seat. The party is set to choose its next leader at the convention in Winnipeg. Julian and Green say the NDP can't afford to wait six months to begin an eng

Prime Minister Mark Carney's national security adviser says India has "absolutely" committed to co-operating and sharing information with Canadian police for ongoing investigations. Nathalie Drouin told reporters outside the cabinet room on Parliament Hill today that she had a "very productive meeting" last week with Indian government officials.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has signed a trade agreement with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Parliament Hill. The trade deal is comprehensive, meaning it opens up trade in multiple industries with the world's fourth most populous country. Last November both countries announced they had finished trade negotiations that started in 2021. Indonesia is looking to Canada for resources and for potential work on critical minerals and nuclear energy technology. Indonesia's population of 280 million people is younger than most, and the country has been trying to wean itself off

Starbucks is laying off around 900 non-retail employees and closing some U.S. and Canadian stores as it focuses more of its resources on a turnaround.

A review of Starbucks locations revealed that many are falling short of financial performance targets or are failing to create the environment customers expect, according to a letter sent by Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol on Thursday. ``Each

Indian's new high commissioner to Canada is being sworn in this afternoon at Rideau Hall, following a series of high-level visits by Canadian officials. Along with other new envoys, Dinesh Patnaik is set to visit Gov. Gen. Mary Simon today to present his credentials, marking the official start of his term.
