Pierre Poilievre (and, to be fair, most Canadian political pundits) may assume the northern Alberta riding of Battle River–Crowfoot is his guaranteed safe seat in the House of Commons—but Bonnie Critchley says not so fast. This veteran-turned-Independent candidate is gaining momentum in a riding long considered a Conservative stronghold, and she’s hearing the same thing over and over: voters feel used and ignored. As Critchley puts it, there's growing resentment toward Poilievre and the political

So much for “elbows up,” right? While plenty of pundits have rushed to criticize Prime Minister Mark Carney’s response to Trump’s latest tariffs—calling it weak or overly cautious—the facts tell a different story. Just because Carney isn’t waving his fists or throwing out empty threats like Doug Ford doesn’t mean he’s not playing the long game. He’s not stooping to Trump’s level, and that might actually be the smartest move in the room. Canada’s international exports are up. Trade with the U.S. has

Canadian PM Mark Carney has tasked his Cabinet with creating “ambitious savings” proposals ahead of the Fall budget — a move that could reshape the federal government as we know it. With nearly 400,000 people currently working for the federal government, and considering the 40% increase in civil service over the Trudeau decade, Carney’s Cabinet is now hunting for “efficiencies.” Translation? Potential layoffs, longer wait times, and shrinking public services. This is a conversation about more than
