The leader of Canada's main opposition, Pierre Polivray, has termed Jagmeet Singh's withdrawal of support from Trudeau as a media stunt. Polivray said Singh, who struck a deal with the Liberals two years ago after scuttling Wakkar's interests, has only grabbed headlines today, not clarifying whether the NDP would vote in support of a no-confidence motion for the carbon tax election at the first opportunity.

Poilievre said Jagmeet Singh sided with Trudeau to quadruple the carbon tax, which would not only force Canadians to rely on food banks but would also cripple the economy and destroy thousands of jobs.

The Conservative leader said that Canadians want an election as soon as possible without delay, they can no longer tolerate the decisions made by the NDP Liberals in this expensive coalition.

Ottawa moves closer to expanding citizenship rights for Canadians born abroad

Canada is nearing a major reform to its citizenship laws that could restore and extend rights to thousands of people born outside the country.

The proposed legislation aims to broaden citizenship by descent, addressing long-standing gaps that left many children of Canadian parents without automatic citizenship due to restrictive provisions in past laws. If passed, the bill would also make it easier for in
