A major blow for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced that he will bring down the government. On Friday, Singh revealed he would introduce a no-confidence motion against the Trudeau government during the next sitting of the House of Commons. The House is currently on break and is scheduled to return on January 27, 2025.

Singh, who has defended the Trudeau government for several months, stated that the Liberals no longer deserve to remain in power. He emphasized that it doesn't matter who is leading the Liberal Party and this government’s time is up.

The NDP leader also announced that his party would give Canadians the chance to elect a government that works for them.

Meanwhile, Singh dismissed the Liberals as out of the race, adding that the next major battle would be against Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party, who he claims want to cut benefits for the people.

Canada's former chief trade negotiator, Steve Verheul, says he does not expect Ottawa and Washington to reach a tariff agreement before the U.S. midterm elections. Verheul said that while there may be a brief opportunity this fall for the U.S. administration to secure a political win through a trade deal, it is more likely that negotiations will continue into next year. He added that, so far, no proposal close to a favourable deal for Canada has been put on the table. He also questioned whether trade agreements signed by other countries with the United States would remain durable over the long

Alberta court gives partial win to separatist referendum organizers

Leaders pushing for a referendum on Alberta's separation from Canada have received a partial victory in court.
