Former Alberta premier Rachel Notley has announced her resignation as the province's NDP president.

Notley has been the leader of the Alberta NDP since 2014. She first became an MLA from Edmonton-Strathcona in 2008.

At that time the party was on only two seats. In 2015, under her leadership, New Democratic formed the government in the state with 54 seats and at that time Notley became the premier for the first time. With Notley's resignation announcement, the party will have to prepare for the election of a new leader.

Notley says she can remain a member of Edmonton-Strathcona until her term expires in 2027 and later leave it. However, she has not ruled out running for re-election for the NDP.

It is worth noting that Notley grew up in Fairview, Alberta and her father Grant Notley was also the NDP leader of Alberta. Notley holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Alberta and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School.

Blaming Punjab for Delhi's Pollution is Ridiculous: Piyush Goyal

Union Minister Piyush Goyal has strongly criticized the idea of holding Punjab farmers responsible for Delhi's pollution. Speaking at the Invest India program, he described the claim as completely absurd and wrong. Goyal expressed his surprise at those making such claims. He questioned how pollution from stubble burning by farmers, located 500 km away, could reach Delhi. The minister clarified that while he does not encourage stubble burning, it is incorrect to blame Punjab farmers for Delhi’s pollution. The Union Minister for Commerce and Industry emphasized that smoke from construction ac

In December, Finance Minister B

Trump calls Freeland 'a whack' and Poilievre 'not a MAGA guy' as tariff threat looms

U.S. President Donald Trump is weighing in on domestic Canadian politics as his deadline to impose steep tariffs on Canada inches closer. In an interview with The Spectator, Trump called Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland terrible and "a whack" — and claimed credit for her resignation as finance minister. Trump also remarked on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, saying that "his biggest problem is he's not a MAGA guy."
