Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said the federal government is absolutely concerned about inflation, but dismissed critics who called her callous and out of touch for suggesting the high cost of gas is a reminder of why we need to transition to greener energy solutions.

It was "absolutely unacceptable" that any Canadian representative attended a party at the Russian Embassy in Ottawa last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday, June 14, 2022.

The fall of Jason Kenney, a juggernaut of conservatism in Canada, has prompted many federal Tories to consider the future of the party, which is in the midst of being decided in a leadership race seen as a fractious fight for its soul.

Ed Fast is no longer the Conservative finance critic, interim party leader Candice Bergen says.

Pierre Poilievre, a high-profile contender in the Conservative party's leadership race, on Monday, May 16, 2022, denounced the "white replacement theory," which was believed to be a motive for a mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y., as "ugly and disgusting hate-mongering."

Piere Poilievre's reluctance to fight as hard for the freedom of pregnant people to choose as he did for the Ottawa convoy protesters is understandable, given the central role anti-abortion voters have played in the last two Conservative leadership races, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Only two political parties managed to raise more money in the first quarter of this year than at the end of 2021: the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois.

A push from the Bloc Québécois for the House of Commons to confirm the right to an abortion failed Tuesday, as Conservative MPs were warned against commenting on the U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion that has thrown the issue back into the domestic spotlight.

For years now, Canada’s Conservatives have played footsie with an increasingly radicalized right-wing populist movement. The sooner their relationship with them is brought into the light, the better it will be for everyone else. 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is still being dogged by questions about family vacations six years ago at the Aga Khan’s private island in the Bahamas.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s second pandemic budget turns Canada’s fiscal focus to making life more affordable and giving a long-needed boost to Canadian productivity.

Whether or not the Liberal-NDP pact will actually keep the federal government in power until 2025 remains to be seen, but in the short term, it promises to change the dynamics of the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race, one poll analyst says.

The Liberals and New Democrats have been dancing around the idea of a deal to work together since the 2019 election first reduced the Trudeau government to a minority.

Conservatives, of course, are portraying it as an undemocratic affront to the freedoms and liberties of Canadians, writes columnist Max Fawcett.
