Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and members of his inner circle are slated to return to a federal inquiry into foreign interference in coming weeks.

A newly published provisional witness list for the next phase of the inquiry's public work indicates senior government bureaucrats and members of national security agencies will also testify.

A battle is heating up between Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh ahead of the return of the House of Commons next week, as the Conservatives challenge the NDP to help them bring down the government.

Singh said Wednesday he won't be taking advice from Poilievre, while sidestepping questions about whether the NDP would vote in favour of a non-confidence motion, as Poilievre challenged him to do.

Where were you when it happened? Even 23 years later, this question is commonplace as the events of 9/11 continue to haunt the collective consciousness of North Americans.

A familiar sight in the Pembina Valley at this time of year is farmers working tirelessly to harvest crops that are an invaluable resource locally, across Canada, and beyond. It’s a big job. Yesterday, farmers took time out of their busiest season to gather in a canola field northwest of Morden for a special harvest — 250 acres of canola to be donated toward the fight against world hunger. 

Chris Streveler announced that his 2024 season is over after suffering a major knee injury during last weekend's Banjo Bowl.

In an emotional Instagram post, Streveler revealed that he tore three of the four major ligaments in his knee, marking the first time in his career that he's stayed down on the field following an injury.

“I’ve been through a lot of adversity in this game, but through it all I’m reminded that you can only truly control three things—how you show up on a daily basis, how hard you work, and what type of attitude you have,” Streveler wrote.
