Tensions Escalate Between Zelensky and Trump During White House Meeting

Zelensky raised concerns about Trump's soft stance toward Russia, which caused Trump to become visibly angry. He responded by saying that if Zelensky wanted him to be tough, he could be tougher than anyone else in the world, but that approach would prevent them from ever reaching an agreement. During the discussion, Trump accused Zelensky of playing with the lives of millions and warned that he was playing with the possibility

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

B.C. Government to Present 2025-26 Provincial Budget Amid Economic Challenges

The B.C. government, led by Premier David Eby, will present the provincial budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year on March 4. This budget will mark the first presented by the new Finance Minister, Brenda Bailey.

The provincial government has already projected a $9 billion deficit for the current fiscal year, the largest budget deficit in Canadian history relative to the size of a provincial economy. In December, Finance Minister B

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." An edited transcript of the Thursday interview with Trump did not provide any new insights into what Canada might do to stop the devastating duties from going f

Critics say the government's new budget misses the mark on education and health-care funding

Critics say the government's new budget misses the mark on education and health-care funding, leaving issues like emergency room wait times and overcrowded classrooms to go from bad to worse. Alberta Teachers' Association president Jason Schilling says the nearly 10-billion dollars set aside for the K-to-12 school system doesn't keep up with population growth and inflation. Schilling says he understands that oil revenues are expected to drop and potential tariffs from the United States are putting the province in limbo, but education should be a priority.

Alberta economy back deep in the red with $5.2-billion deficit budget

Alberta’s finances, tied for generations to the steep peaks and sharp valleys of oil and gas prices, are once again plunging deep into deficit, with no immediate relief in sight. Finance Minister Nate Horner has introduced a budget that projects a $5.2-billion deficit this fiscal year on total spending of $79 billion. That represents an $11-billion swing from the current budget, which is on track to register a surplus close to $6 billion. It’s the first deficit under Premier Danielle Smith and the first since the COVID-19-era budget of 2020, and the province expects the deficits will remai
