Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is claiming the Liberals will impose a tax on Canadians' home equity if they're re-elected as the federal election campaign enters its final week.

The candidates in the race to be the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada will square off tonight in the first of two live debates.

A prominent Saskatchewan First Nation Chief has accused Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer of using legislation to recognize the right to safe drinking water as a political "tactic."

The government has been unable to put any of its own business before the House of Commons for a full week, and the Conservatives on Thursday said that's the result of Liberal "corruption."

Online disinformation and extremist networking are igniting a fire, and right-wing politicians in Canada are all too keen to fan the flames.

The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations Cindy Woodhouse is trying to make inroads with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, hoping to forestall the tensions and angst that marked the party's last time in power.

The Conservatives dialed up the pressure on the Senate on Tuesday to vote in favour of a carbon-pricing bill, all the while accusing the Liberals of trying to intimidate senators into delaying the bill.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced a second day of criticism over the carbon tax carveout but resolved there will be no similar breaks for other provinces. 

A Quebec judge will head a public inquiry into allegations of foreign interference in Canada's affairs now that federal parties have agreed on a process to examine the thorny subject, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he is ready to testify should he be asked to appear.

Four new MPs are set to be elected to the House of Commons on Monday in a handful of byelections that political watchers say could expose rifts within the Conservative party and bring a new Liberal cabinet hopeful into the fold.

Pierre Poilievre is off to Manitoba to rally Conservative supporters ahead of a byelection that Maxime Bernier is hoping will send him back to Parliament.

Liberal House leader Mark Holland isn't ruling out turning a Conservative motion on foreign interference into a confidence vote that could topple the government and would test the strength of the supply-and-confidence deal between the Liberals and the NDP.

Pierre Poilievre's disdain for experts may delight his supporters, but it should worry just about everyone else, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

The Conservative party has set a fundraising record for a non-election year under the new leadership of Pierre Poilievre, and it is outpacing other federal parties.
