Poilievre ‘clearly struggling’ as Carney Liberals’ support surges, polls suggest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals would secure a larger majority if an election were held today as support plunges for Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, polls suggest. The Signal â the Star’s supercomputer-powered poll aggregator â forecasts that the Liberals would win between 192 and 238 seats, with a median tally of 215 on 46.9 per cent of the vote. Carney’s party currently holds 173 seats in the 343-member House of Commons, a narrow majority. “This week’s Signal projections put the
Doug Ford says Ontario taxpayers will invest in proposed pipeline from Alberta to Sarnia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Premier Doug Ford says Ontario taxpayers will help fuel a proposed 3,300-km oil pipeline from Alberta to Sarnia that could ultimately cost tens of billions of dollars. Ford defended the public expenditure, which he insisted is necessary because of the existential threat posed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war. “The cost of defending Canada’s sovereignty isn’t something that shows up on the private sector’s balance sheet,” the premier said Monday in Calgary. “Our government is ready to s
Doug Ford’s Tories getting a Trump bump, poll suggests (opens the original)

Marit Stiles’s New Democrats dropped to 17 per cent support from 21 per cent in July while Mike Schreiner’s Gree

Read excerpt
The Ontario Liberals have been shut out in three byelections as Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives held two seats and Marit Stiles’s NDP regained the third. That status quo result Thursday was a setback for the Liberals as they choose a new leader Nov. 21. The byelections marked Doug Ford’s first electoral test since the private jet fiasco, the Billy New Democrat Fatima Shaban, a tenant advocate, won Scarborough Southwest while Tories Susan Lahey and Jeff Beattie, who are both municip
Doug Ford calls Donald Trump a ‘loser’ now, but he was a fan not so long ago (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ontario Premier Doug Ford called U.S. president Donald Trump a loser in a presser on Monday (Aug. 24, 2026). It is easy to forget it was only last year, during an Ontario election campaign focused on the threat of U.S. tariffs, that Premier Doug Ford let slip he wanted Donald Trump to win the presidency. “On election day, was I happy this guy won? One hundred per cent I was,” said Ford, caught on a hot mic at his Etobicoke campaign office. “Then the guy pulled out the knife and f—-ing yanked it
