Chrystia Freeland

Elizabeth May says in all her years on Parliament Hill she has never seen anything like the last week in Canadian politics.

Dominic LeBlanc is helping Justin Trudeau hold the house together even as a growing number of Liberals turn on the prime minister.

Liberal governments have gotten most big policies right but many smaller policies wrong.

Trudeau's decision to demote Chrystia Freeland appears to have backfired spectacularly, igniting a chorus of calls for him to resign, including from several Liberal MPs, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and the Toronto Star's editorial board.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh began 2024 by propping up Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s minority government. He is ending the year calling for Trudeau’s resignation.

In times of expanding inequality, the impoverished will follow any politician offering change. We saw this coming out of the Great Depression. There was a strong desire to secure the world economy after both World Wars, in part because of the dangers of wealth moving upward. 

"We have a U.S. president(-elect) with a strong mandate, who is a powerful negotiator who can spot weakness from a mile away," Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Tuesday.

The Liberal government was thrown into disarray this week when Chrystia Freeland stepped down from cabinet as finance minister, reviving calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down or call an election.

In another blow to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals, the federal Conservatives have won a byelection in the British Columbia riding of Cloverdale-Langley City.

After Chrystia Freeland's bombshell departure from cabinet Monday morning, several Liberal MPs called for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step aside as well.

Chrystia Freeland has resigned as finance minister amid bitter feud with Trudeau, setting the stage for an intra-party war as Trump tariffs loom on the horizon.

From electoral reform and Indigenous reconciliation to his pledge to govern in a more open and transparent way, Justin Trudeau’s words keep writing cheques his deeds can’t cash. When it comes to being Canada’s first feminist prime minister, the cheque just bounced — hard.

The update is expected to include measures to spur business investment in Canada to respond to Trump's "America first" economic agenda.

Canada is preparing retaliatory tariffs in response to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat to levy a 25 per cent import tax on all Canadian goods, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened to withhold the province's energy, which it exports to five states.

Investment in the energy transition could bring sustainable, inclusive prosperity to Canadians.
