A House of Commons committee is unanimously urging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to promise he won't call a federal election while the COVID-19 pandemic rages across Canada.

All federal party leaders maintain they don't want an election in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic but the Conservatives appear to be pursuing a strategy that could give the Liberals justification for calling one.

The federal Liberal cabinet will abstain from the Conservative party's motion to have Parliament declare a genocide against ethnic Muslim Uighurs in China's Xinjiang province.

If Erin O’Toole wants to avoid the same fate as Andrew Scheer, writes columnist Max Fawcett, he’ll have to do something that his predecessor couldn’t: take climate change seriously.

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole urged the acting American ambassador to Canada to tell Washington to preserve the Line 5 pipeline to the United States.

Less than a month after U.S. President Joe Biden nixed the Keystone XL pipeline as part of a sweeping climate plan, another pipeline with implications for Canada is in the crosshairs of a U.S. politician.

In the end, what most Canadians want isn’t an election over the COVID vaccination program but an effective and expeditious delivery rollout, columnist Max Fawcett writes.

Black Conservatives energized by the rising star of Leslyn Lewis hope to use her unexpectedly robust leadership bid to bolster Black representation in the party's ranks.

The Conservative Party of Canada has a full-blown case of Trumpism, Canada's National Observer columnist Max Fawcett writes, and the real question its members need to answer is whether it’s terminal or not.

When it comes to the Alberta government’s fondness for personal responsibility, one thing should be clear by now: They only think it applies to other people, not themselves, writes Max Fawcett.

"When the federal government gets its next opportunity to align Canada’s electoral map with the reality of its population ... it needs to do more than just tinker at the margins," Max Fawcett writes. "Instead, it needs to go big — literally."

In a video posted to the Ryerson Conservatives Facebook group last month, the Conservative leader said residential schools aimed initially to educate Indigenous children but later devolved into harmful practices.

Former justice minister Peter MacKay says he won’t be on the ballot in the next federal election.

Federal opposition parties blamed the Liberal government for failing to properly prepare for the return of Parliament as negotiations around in-person versus virtual sittings went down to the wire on Tuesday, September 22, 2020.

A new survey suggests Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals are well placed if they end up losing a confidence vote this fall, seen as the party best able to care for Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic and to get the economy back on its feet.
