Pierre Poilievre is now leader of the Conservative Party of Canada after an impressive leadership campaign which he led from start to finish, attracting crowds of supporters larger than those for any current Canadian political leader — including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Ahead of parliamentary elections, Facebook and TikTok have blocked Gustav Kasselstrand, the leader of Alternativ för Sverige (AfS), and Evilina Hahne, one of the party’s Riksdag candidates, from accessing their social media accounts.
OTTAWA — In high school, he was selling Reform Party memberships.
In university, he was a finalist in an essay contest about what he’d do as prime minister.
At age 25, he won an Ottawa seat for the federal Conservatives and 20 years later, he’s still the MP, having served as a cabinet minister along the way, gotten married and is now the father to two children.
People are lining the streets as Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin travels from Balmoral to Edinburgh.
The hearse is being driven to the Palace of Holyroodhouse as part of the journey to London ahead of her funeral on 19 September.
Mourners have been watching in silence as her coffin, wrapped in the Royal Standard for Scotland, passed by.
Pierre Poilievre is waking up today as the new leader of the Conservative party, coming off a landslide win.
Before he can take time to enjoy the victory, he has a list of things to do.
The House of Commons is set to resume sitting in nine days, meaning Poilievre and his inner circle have to decide who will fill their critic roles.
“I leave this party on my own terms,” Rekmans wrote. “I have resigned for principle. I had no confidence in the leadership contestants, and they had no confidence in me, and I lost confidence in federal council.”
Rekmans writes that she has been marginalized, insulted and denigrated by leadership contestants and sees no way to continue as president when one of them will be principal spokesperson for the party.
Four of the six leadership candidates, along with Green MP Mike Morrice, recently issued a joint statement to condemn the misgendering of interim leader Amita Kuttner — who is transgender and nonbinary — in a party Zoom event, though they commended Rekmans for an immediate apology.
OTTAWA, Ont. — Canada’s Conservative Party voted overwhelmingly for Pierre Poilievre as its next leader, a result announced to the surprise of few on Saturday night in downtown Ottawa.
Poilievre is now positioned to lead Canada’s second-largest political party into a campaign against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, an election that could be as far away as 2025 — but could also come much sooner.
The rise of far-right parties, gang violence and a strict immigration policy are among the main concerns for Swedish voters, who head to the polls on Sunday.
Sweden heads to the polls on September 11 in an election that could see a once-shunned far-right populist party make significant inroads, and with the help of right-wing opposition parties, even dislodge the ruling left-wing Social Democrats from power.
“I’m quite concerned about the rise of the far-right parties in this election,” said Nathalie Johansson, 35, an IT consultant based in Stockholm.
“Six months back, if you asked me what my main concern about the upcoming election was, I would have said it is how governments plan to address climate change. But right now, the far right’s power is worrying many of us,” she told DW.
Jean Charest’s message of moderate conservatism failed to resonate in party leadership contest
As a university student, Pierre Poilievre won $10,000 for an essay explaining how, as prime minister, he would build his government on a platform of freedom — a message he just used to move a step closer to that job by becoming leader of the Conservative Party.
During his campaign for the leadership, Poilievre promised to make “Canada the freest country on Earth” by limiting the reach of government.
It was a theme lifted straight out of that 2,500-word essay he wrote while a 20-year-old student at the University of Calgary.
CBC’s smarmy condescension just drips off the screen.
A journalist of over 20 years within Canada’s mainstream media sphere is calling out the industry for pushing a specific narrative during the COVID-19 so-called pandemic.
In an interview with Bright Light News, journalist Rodney Palmer, who spent two decades working for various mainstream outlets, including the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CTV News, and the Toronto Star among others, called out his fellow media colleagues for “misrepresenting” the story surrounding the COVID pandemic.
A British historian slammed woke MSNBC host Ali Velshi on live TV on Saturday for only ‘concentrating on the negatives’ after he began a special on the Queen’s legacy by condemning the history of the royal family.
Velshi began his special on the Queen’s legacy Saturday talking about her long reign and saying she ‘was a constant for the British people.
‘She endeared herself to the public, and her popularity is unmatched by any other member of the royal family,’ Velshi, a Canadian-American, mused.
But, he then added: ‘As beloved as Elizabeth was, she also represented an institution that had a long and ugly history of brutal colonialism, violence, theft and slavery.
OTTAWA—Canada’s Conservative Party picked as its new leader a politician who backed the paralyzing protests earlier this year against pandemic restrictions and vaccine mandates, hoping his populist appeal with disaffected voters will be enough to unseat Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Pierre Poilievre was declared the winner Saturday, winning 68% from party members voting on the first ballot. Mr. Poilievre’s campaign said it signed up hundreds of thousands of new party members, drawn by his promises to reduce the role of the state in people’s lives and to roll back government spending and taxes that he says helped fuel inflation.
The royal beekeeper – in an arcane tradition thought to date back centuries – has informed the hives kept in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and Clarence House of the Queen’s death.
And the bees have also been told, in hushed tones, that their new master is now King Charles III.
The official Palace beekeeper, John Chapple, 79, told MailOnline how he travelled to Buckingham Palace and Clarence House on Friday following news of The Queen’s death to carry out the superstitious ritual.
