The Conservatives and NDP spent the weekend hunting votes in British Columbia — a key late-campaign battleground that one pollster says may offer Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre his best shot at victory.

Both Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh addressed Canadians' cost-of-living concerns at campaign events in B.C. on Sunday.

Singh was asked if he was advocating strategic voting to shore up the party's flagging support against possible Conservative inroads in the region.

Pope Francis will be remembered by Canadian Catholics as a progressive leader whose approach to the papacy helped usher in a new era of Indigenous relations and make the church more responsive to its rank and file.

The Vatican says the pontiff died Monday at age 88.

Francis was the global leader of Canada's most popular organized religion. Nearly 11 million Canadians identified as Catholic in the 2021 census, second only to those without a religious affiliation.

After a months-long health battle, Pope Francis has died.

Cardinal Kevin Farrell announced his death early on Easter Monday, saying he died at 7:35 a.m. in Vatican City.

"His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church," said Cardinal Kevin Farrell in a press conference. "He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favour of the poorest and most marginalized."

A section of Fermor Avenue has reopened after closing Sunday evening due to a fire.

The blaze broke out around 5:30 p.m. near the east Perimeter and Symington Road.

Large plumes of black smoke could be seen from the Polo Park area.

As a result of the fire, the eastbound lanes of Fermor Ave, from Symington Road to Navin Road were closed.

They have since been reopened. 

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. 

Canadian-born cellist Christian Elliott remembered for artistry and compassion.

The federal Liberals and NDP both released their costed campaign platforms Saturday as Elections Canada reported record turnout in the first day of advanced polls.

Nearly two million people showed up to cast a ballot on Friday, the first of four days for advanced voting in the federal election.

Elections Canada said in a social media post it will be making adjustments over the coming days to handle the high traffic after many voters were met with long lineups at polling stations.

The Winnipeg Jets used a third-period surge to earn a 5–3 win over the St. Louis Blues and take a 1–0 lead in their opening-round playoff series.

The Blues opened the scoring on the power play, with Robert Thomas converting at 9:31 of the first.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promised to strike down a key element of the Liberal government's environmental policy Friday as he and other party leaders got back on the campaign trail following the national leaders' debates in Montreal.

The campaigning Friday also coincided with the opening of the first of four days of advance polling across the country.

Both Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh stayed in Quebec to make announcements Friday morning, while Liberal Leader Mark Carney made his way to Niagara Falls, Ont.

Long-time broadcaster Paul Edmonds believes this Winnipeg Jets team is built different from years past and that this group could be on a special path as they get ready to start the Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight against the St. Louis Blues.
