In the perpetually safe seat in Montreal of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, the Liberal candidate lost to the Bloc Québécois' Louis-Philippe Sauvé, in a tight three-way race.

Canada’s left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP) on Wednesday announced it was withdrawing from the coalition keeping Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in power, a blow that could seriously threaten the already-embattled Trudeau’s grip on power. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced the breakup in a campaign-style video released by his party. “Today, I have notified the prime minister that I have ripped up the supply-and-confidence agreement. Big corporations and wealthy CEOs have had their government. It’s the people’s time,” Singh said in the video. A supply-and-confidence agreement is essentially a promise by a minority party to unconditionally support a larger party, without...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has previously noted his admiration for China's "basic dictatorship." According to Canada's top spy agency, that admiration may go both ways. The Globe and Mail reported that secret and top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents have exposed how the genocidal Chinese regime conducted an interference operation throughout the 2021 election cycle in Canada, which saw Trudeau's Liberal Party hold onto power. Trudeau's government went on to declare martial law, freeze peaceful protesters' bank accounts, and exercise some other qualities its leader may have admired in other governments. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has accused Trudeau of...

Perhaps it's no surprise, but when it comes time to vote, Canadians are very good about doing it politely, and in queues. While Americans are still embroiled in a bitter feud over voting rights and the outcome of the 2020 election, their neighbours to the north are hardly breaking a sweat as they head to the polls to vote in their country's general election on 20 September. Things like widespread advanced voting, mail-in ballots, and federally-run elections seem to make it easier for Canadians to show up at the polls - voter turnout in Canada was higher (62%) than in...

Adam Scotti, Trudeau’s photographer since 2013, posted one photo that appeared to show the Liberal leader in the sensitive area of a hospital while another shot featured his boss’ crotch as the main element. The online posting of those photos, both taken at Toronto’s UHN hospital, have now been deleted. In one photo of Trudeau visiting the University Health Network in downtown Toronto, it appears to show the PM speaking to health-care workers in a ward setting. Given restrictions on hospital visits throughout COVID-19, the image caused outrage among many who said they were denied a chance to see ill...

Justin Trudeau wants his government upgraded from a minority to a majority. The problem is that, judging from its results, the progressive program he has enacted over the past six years is a firing offence, not grounds for promotion.... So, under Trudeau’s progressive program, economic growth in Canada was worse than the United States before the pandemic, has been worse since the pandemic began, and, all signals indicate, will face new government-imposed obstacles in the future.... The numbers do not lie; over the past six years, Canada has become a worse place to do business.... Such are the results of...

When Justin Trudeau called the federal election, he probably envisaged selling Liberal policies in Conservative-held ridings. A week later, he finds himself attacking Conservative policies in Liberal ridings that may flip to his political opponents if his fortunes don’t improve. As the first public opinion poll showing the Conservatives overtaking the Liberals appeared, so Trudeau’s assault on Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole became more furious. In a baking parking lot bordering the Miramichi River, in front of a couple of hundred broiling New Brunswickers, Trudeau’s stump speech assailed O’Toole for his position on pandemic relief, mandatory vaccination, childcare and private health...

Welcome to Your Weekend the sentiments of my week expressed in the music set that reflects my opening up the boxes of my past to sort things out and throw away some things and keep others.

The man who was the Best Man at my wedding who told me the truth about myself just years after I got married and was working in the mainstream media serving as the officer of the church...

Transportation Minister Lloyd Hines says 2021-22 will likely be another record year for road building in Nova Scotia. The annual government highways plan is usually out by December, but the document has been delayed by the pandemic, said Hines.

This election is huge. Consider. Greens leader Richard Di Natale: This is a climate change election. Labor leader Bill Shorten: This election is all about climate change. Guardian Australia editor Katherine Murphy: 2019 is the climate change election. It was indeed, and they lost. The Liberals look like being returned in a miracle come-from-behind performance, although they will have to form a minority government. In Queensland, where Labor seemed set to stop the giant Adani coal project, Labor went from picking up an expected three or four seats to losing three instead. (Adani will now almost certainly proceed. The Queensland...
