Andrew Scheer

The leader of Canada’s official Opposition party on Friday appeared to walk back an erroneous tweet that describes oil as the cleanest form of energy available.

Maxime Bernier's closest caucus ally says he has no plans to join the renegade Quebec MP's new party.

Conservatives, from leader Andrew Scheer on down, are predicting that Maxime Bernier's decision to quit their party and start his own will end up helping Justin Trudeau's Liberals win re-election next year.

After a bombshell day for the Conservative party, many members attending the annual Tory convention in Halifax expressed quiet relief on Thursday, August 23, 2018, that the long-expected divorce of maverick MP Maxime Bernier from the party was finally out of the way.

What was expected to be a standard-issue, pre-election rallying cry has suddenly become one of the most important speeches of Andrew Scheer's career as leader of the federal Conservatives.

Conservative Member of Parliament Maxime Bernier said Thursday he was quitting the Conservative Party of Canada and launching a national party of his own.

Maxime Bernier's immigrant bashing wouldn’t be so offensive and worrisome if it were coming from some marginal political figure, but this isn’t some random, fringe member of the Conservative Party. He has been a long-standing member of Parliament, representing the Quebec riding of Beauce, has served in Harper’s administration for years, and came in a close second in the party's leadership race.

Quebec's labour movement is gearing up ahead of the October election as it faces the prospect of another four years with limited influence in the provincial government.

The Conservatives have stolen a Quebec riding away from Justin Trudeau's ruling Liberals, in the first test of Andrew Scheer's effort to recreate the nationalist-conservative coalition that helped federal Tories dominate the province in the 1980s.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent a lot of time on his feet in the House of Commons on Monday, responding to questions about revelations by National Observer that two oilpatch executives were getting $3 million in bonuses because of a federal deal negotiated by his finance minister to buy a west coast pipeline and expansion project.

Andrew Scheer's Conservatives want the federal government to give Ukraine $9.5 million worth of military equipment originally intended to help Kurdish forces in their fight against Islamic militants in Iraq.

There is money in the bank. Voters in the hopper. And from many angles, a spring in the step of many Conservatives these days.

Justin Trudeau added his voice on Wednesday, May 16, 2018, to the calls for an independent investigation into the shootings by Israeli soldiers on the Gaza border that killed 59 Palestinians and wounded hundreds more during Monday's mass protests.

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer rallied his troops in Quebec on Sunday, promising them there would be more former Bloc Quebecois members joining their ranks.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a byelection for the Quebec riding of Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, only days after pledging $60 million in federal funding for an aluminum-smelting project in the area.
