Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, a member of the Liberal Party, announced in an X post on Sunday that he had “just asked the Governor General to dissolve parliament and call a federal election on April 28.” This move paves the way for an election to elect a new Parliament. At the time of Parliament’s dissolution, the Liberal Party had 152 seats while the Conservative Party of Canada held 120 seats. The remaining seats were held by minor political parties, with 33 constituencies represented by members of the Bloc Quebecois Party, 24 seats held by the New Democratic Party and...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he wouldn't mind if the Liberal Party won the upcoming Canadian election, saying: "I'd rather deal with a liberal than a conservative." Trump has taken a tough stance toward Canada, imposing tariffs on Canadian imports and repeatedly threatening to make it the 51st U.S. state. During an interview on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle," host Laura Ingraham pointed out that Trump's treatment of Canada could propel the ruling Liberals to win the next election and lead a government that's hostile to the U.S. "I don't care," Trump responded. "I think it's easier to...

Canadian Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, who will likely be the next prime minister, is known for his exceptional skills in making liberal reporters eat it during press conferences and interviews. He’s not as aggressive as Trump in his tone and inflection, but he’s just as lethal. He knows the media’s games as well, and most should know it by now. When asked about Donald Trump’s executive order on recognizing only two genders, which is fact-based and acknowledges basic biology, the conservative leader left CP24 host Phil Perkins stumped with a simple reply: is there another gender that we are...

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he was ‘not aware of any other genders’ in response to Trump’s order, but the federal government should mind its own business.

Donald Trump has always enjoyed talking real estate, but these days instead of hotels or condos his acquisition targets are sovereign nations and territories. At a press conference Tuesday, the President-elect made news for remarks on adding Canada, Panama and Greenland to the U.S. property portfolio. The trick is figuring out when Mr. Trump is trolling and when he means it. One journalist at Mar-a-Lago asked the President-elect if he is “considering military force to annex and acquire Canada.” Mr. Trump: “No. Economic force. Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something. You get rid of that...

Canadian Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre began a campaign on Monday to hold a general election in the country as soon as possible in the face of radical leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing his resignation. Poilievre is widely believed to be in the lead for the prime ministership as Trudeau’s Liberals, after a decade in power, have largely fallen from grace in the eyes of voters and Poilievre’s Conservatives are seeing major gains in the polls. Recent polls show that over half of Canadians want elections to remove Trudeau “as soon as possible,” and about 45 percent would vote...

Justin Trudeau is expected to resign as the leader of Canada's Liberal Party, a move that will set up his ouster as Prime Minister as well. According to the Globe and Mail, Trudeau could announce his departure as soon as Monday in a bid to get ahead of an all-important caucus meeting on Wednesday. RELATED: Is Justin Trudeau's Resignation on the Table? The controversial far-left leader has led his party to the abyss over the last several years, with the Pierre Poilievre-led Conservative projected to win a resounding victory in October's elections. Once he's resigned his party position, Trudeau will...

A university in Canada is employing a terrorist who played a role in murdering French Jews in a synagogue on a Jewish holiday. Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, is employing Professor Hassan Diab, a terrorist who was part of a 1980 terror attack that bombed a synagogue in Paris, murdering four Jews and wounding almost 50 people, wrote The Jerusalem Post. The massacre occurred on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, noted the National Post. Diab was convicted in France for his role in the murders, but managed to flee to Canada, though he still faces a life sentence in...

“I am also happy that the suspected shooter is dead.” With those 10 words, in response to Friday’s apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sent Canada’s propriety police into one of its trademarked tizzies. “Leaders don’t celebrate death,” Harden said of Poilievre’s remark. “We work for community safety.” An “insane thing to say,” was left-wing commentator David Moscrop’s reaction. Former Alberta MLA Thomas Lukazkuk called it “irrational” — “revenge over due process.” “While others appeal for calm, Poilievre rejoices in retribution,” Globe and Mail columnist Andrew Coyne observed on X. [Poilievre] says things...

All of Canada’s major pollsters are now showing at least a 10-point gap between the Conservatives and the Liberals. Were these sentiments to hold up in a general election, Conservative Pierre Poilievre would be looking at one of the largest landslides in modern Canadian history. Polls are pointing to a Conservative majority of 205 seats against a Liberal opposition of just 81. That would represent the most crushing electoral victory since 1984... The Liberals are now in third place anywhere outside of Ontario and Quebec – most notably in the previously Liberal stronghold of Atlantic Canada. And the Conservatives continue...

VIDEONever before has an apple been used so EFFECTIVELY to help dismantle the dopey premises of a leftwing journalist. In this case Pierre Poilievre the Canadian Conservative Party leader of the Official Opposition beautifully used an apple as a prop to hilariously tear apart the arguments put forth by a leftwing journalist who somehow couldn't take his eyes off the ground. Poilievre showed just how easily, while very calmly munching on an apple, the flawed assumptions of the leftists can be taken apart when they are outside their echo chamber comfort zones.

OTTAWA -- Manitoba MP Candice Bergen is waking up with a new job today: unifying the Conservative caucus. The party's former deputy leader was elected by her colleagues to serve as interim leader after a majority of MPs ousted Erin O'Toole from the top job. Bergen faces a caucus that has spent weeks divided and angry over O'Toole's leadership since last year's election loss. The party must also start preparing to pick a permanent leader. It will be the third such race in the past five years. Party president Rob Batherson told members that its national council will be appointing...
