The plan should include measures to increase patrols and technology to crack down on illegal drug trafficking, as well as tightening visa rules and working with provincial law enforcement, Poilievre told a news conference on Sunday.

The two-month tax break covers dozens of items, including children's clothes and toys, video games and consoles, Christmas trees, restaurant and catered meals, wine, beer, candy and snacks. It would take effect on Dec. 14 and run until Feb. 15, 2025.

The bill was introduced on behalf of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland in the House of Commons on Wednesday afternoon, with the help of the NDP to at least temporarily stop debate on a Conservative filibuster.

Donald Trump has used its innate ability to sniff out weakness in others to cut down political foes in his own country, from former opponents like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz to his own vice-president. Now, with his latest tariff threat, he’s exposing the weakness of Conservatives north of the border.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to meet with the country’s premiers this afternoon, after they asked for an urgent meeting on U.S.-Canada relations ahead of the incoming Donald Trump administration.

The truth is no match for an honestly told lie. Witness the disconnect between what we know about the carbon tax in Canada and the way it’s perceived by large swathes of the public.

The petition references a conspiracy theory popular with online influencers and some conservative politicians and pundits who say the federal government is part of a global plot, led by the World Economic Forum, that uses climate measures to force people into submission – including by making them eat insects.

Two Greenpeace activists were arrested after chaining themselves to a replica oil pumpjack outside Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s official residence in Ottawa Thursday morning.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the remarks at the G20 and added the tax is among the world's strongest but "an easy political target" in Canada.

When it comes to lying, Poilievre won’t be able to match Trump — if only because that’s not humanly possible. His lies are appropriately Canadian, by comparison: more modest in scale, less adventurous in content.

When Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022, that cemented the right’s control over the ecosystem where most Americans — and especially young men, who broke overwhelmingly for Trump — get their information and news. Now, we're seeing the results.

Nature is being pushed to the brink as logging, mining and the relentless burning of fossil fuels destroy ecosystems — but even while acknowledging the problem, countries negotiating at COP16 still failed to agree on how to pay for conservation efforts.

Capping oil and gas pollution is crucial to cut greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring the industry’s competitiveness through the energy transition, federal ministers said Monday. But Ottawa’s fiercest critics were quick to slam the proposal, setting up fresh rounds of conflict for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s beleaguered government.

The Liberals don't have many winning issues right now, but their new policy for oil and gas emissions (and the reflexive Conservative backlash against it) might just be one. If they're smart, they'll use it to give Pierre Poilievre the carbon tax election he never wanted.

It follows his own pledge last week that if he becomes prime minister, he will axe the federal sales tax on new homes sold for under $1 million.
