Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has reiterated his call for the Trudeau government to resume Parliament as soon as possible, amid a historic trade war with the United States.

Poilievre stated that, like every Canadian, the Conservative Party is relieved to hear that the US will suspend tariffs for a month. However, he emphasized that this is not the time to relax. Canada must act immediately to strengthen its economy and ensure these tariffs are never imposed.

The Conservative leader added that Parliament must resume to address these urgent issues. It is worth noting that Parliament has been suspended until March 24, while the Liberal Party selects its next leader. The new leader, set to be announced on March 9, will also assume the role of prime minister, taking over from Justin Trudeau.

BC Hydro bans Tesla from charger rebate program as part of tariff fight

BC Hydro says Tesla products have been removed from its electric vehicle rebate program as part of the province's fight back against U.S. tariff threats. It says on its website that the move is part of the government's move to give preference to Canadian goods and exclude U.S. goods from rebates if practical. A message on its website says the exclusion became effective on Wednesday, but Tesla products that were purchased or received pre-approval for rebates before then are still qualified. The rebate program covers up to 50 per cent of the purchase cost and installation of a home charger, up t

Efforts Underway to Resolve Rift Between Bikram Singh Majithia and Shiromani Akali Dal

Bikram Singh Majithia is reportedly upset with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), prompting efforts to reconcile and address the growing rift between him and SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal. According to reports, Shiromani Akali Dal’s working president Balwinder Singh Bhunder and former party MLA Virsa Singh Valtoha recently visited Majithia’s residence in Chandigarh to discuss the matter. However, they were unable to meet him. The conflict within the party began when the SGPC (Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee) removed Jathedars Sehban Giani Raghbir Singh and Sultan Singh.

Trudeau says he's 'proud of Canadians' in video posted on his last day in office

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a farewell message to Canadians today as he marks his last full day in office. In a video posted to X, Trudeau says he's proud to have served a country full of people who stand up for what's right, rise to every occasion and "always have each others' backs when it matters most." Liberal Leader Mark Carney will be sworn in as Canada's 24th prime minister at a ceremony at Rideau Hall Friday after Trudeau's formal resignation. Trudeau says that while this may be his last day in the job, he will always be "boldly and unapologetically Canadian." He says his only

U.S. tariffs push Ottawa to invest more in Canadian steel, aluminum projects

Industry Minister Francois Philippe Champagne says he's telling his department to prioritize investments in projects that primarily use Canadian steel and aluminum — part of Ottawa's reply to the Trump administration's trade war. Champagne says the move is in response to the "unfair and unjustified" 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum levied by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday. Canada responded to Trump's steel and aluminum levies with 25 per cent tariffs on $29.8 billion worth of American goods, which took effect just after midnight Thursday. Champagne says Canadian steel and

G7 foreign ministers start talks in Quebec, as Joly pushes back on U.S. coercion

A major foreign-policy summit is underway in Quebec today, with the Liberals welcoming foreign ministers from the U.S., Europe and Japan.

The leaders are set to discuss the functioning of the G7 today, as well as geopolitical challenges ranging from Haiti to Sudan. Ukraine is expected to loom large over the meetings, with Kyiv saying it would be willing to accept a ceasefire if Russia agrees to certain conditions. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie J
