BC Ferries should not be allowed to go through with its plans to build new ships in China, after China hit Canada with a fresh round of tariffs, says Canada’s Opposition leader.

The leader of Canada's official opposition Conservatives, Pierre Poilievre, secured a return to Parliament and a chance to grill Prime Minister Mark Carney, staging a comeback after unexpectedly losing his seat in an April election.

Canada’s Conservative leader has a second shot at becoming prime minister, but there are roadblocks in his way.

No one should be even mildly surprised by the federal Opposition leader’s easy by-election win in Battle River-Crowfoot.

At the end of 2024 the Liberal Party had sunk in opinion polls, with the Conservatives holding a commanding 25-point lead. Four months on, the Conservatives crashed yet again to the Liberals, this time led by Mr Carney in place of Justin Trudeau.

After falling short of the prime minister’s office and losing his seat in Parliament, Canada’s Conservative leader is hustling in small-town Alberta to prove he’s still a winner.

Pierre Poilievre, who is running to reclaim a seat in Canada's parliament next week, was on track to be prime minister until Donald Trump upended Canadian politics.
