The federal government has added 56 properties to a new public lands bank of locations that are suitable for long-term leases so developers can build housing, a move the Housing Minister says will help boost the supply of homes Canadians can afford.

Municipalities have been aggressively urging the federal government to commit more dollars toward infrastructure, noting their communities cannot significantly ramp up homebuilding to match population growth without things like water supply and roads. 

A Liberal win in a federal byelection in Ontario before the holidays has some Conservatives feeling a little blue — and a little worried about where the NDP's vote went. 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s hefty 71-member shadow cabinet includes both former leadership rivals and loyal followers, along with a new role: shadow minister of red tape reduction.

Ontario Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis said on Tuesday, October 4, 2022, she is confident Pierre Poilievre will ensure all of the party's caucus voices are heard, amid calls for him to name her to a critic role.

Pierre Poilievre homed in on inflation, housing and tax increases during his first question period as leader of the official Opposition. He also fielded several retorts about his past comment that Canadians can “opt-out of inflation” with cryptocurrency.

Pierre Poilievre woke up Sunday, September 11, 2022, with a list of things to do as he embarks on his first week as the Conservative party's new leader, while his former rivals offered assurances he could count on their support.

The federal Conservative Party will name its new leader Saturday evening, and the results will have serious implications for all Canadians, Liberal and NDP MPs say.

Voting has ended in the Conservative party's leadership election — but its members still need to wait until Saturday, September 10, 2022, to find out who their next leader is.

Conservative party leadership candidate Scott Aitchison is condemning Leslyn Lewis' message to members last week about the Nuremberg Code and medical experimentation as nothing but a "dog whistle" to COVID-19 vaccine critics.

Ontario MP Pierre Poilievre remains the heavy favourite to be the next Conservative party leader but he trails opponent Jean Charest for support among Canadians as a whole.

When three Conservative leadership hopefuls met this past week for a debate, the same word kept getting repeated.

Jean Charest compared opponents who didn't show up to the federal Conservatives' final leadership debate to fish not wanting to swim.

Jean Charest spent the last official debate of the federal Conservative leadership race on Wednesday, August 3, 2022, stressing that his experience as a political leader is what the party needs to unite.

No audience, no podiums and appearances from only three out of the five candidates running to lead the federal Conservatives.
