Read MorePrime Minister Justin Trudeau intensified his criticism of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre on Wednesday, when he linked his main challenger for power with an American conspiracy theorist who infamously spread lies about the mass murder of schoolchildren.
Trudeau delivered the broadside at a news conference in Oakville, after he was asked about a video circulating online in which Poilievre is shown telling people at an anti-carbon price demonstration — where the symbol of a group that police have linked with ideological extremism is briefly shown on a trailer door — that everything the prime minister says is “bulls—t.”

On Wednesday, the Jamaican woman overcame her fear and spoke at a rally in Toronto, pleading with the Trudeau government for a long called-for regularization plan to give permanent status to the tens of thousands of non-status residents like her who live in the shadows in Canada.

Read MoreOn Monday morning in Sherbrooke, Que., dozens of tractors slowly rolled along a stretch of road between the regional offices of Quebec’s farmers association and the Agriculture Department a few hundred meters away.
Upset about high interest rates, growing paperwork and heavy regulatory burdens, protesting farmers have become a familiar sight across Quebec since December.
“It’s pretty hard to get farmers out of their farms, because they’ve got so many hours to put in, but to see them going out, it means that there is really something going bad in farming right now,” said Benjamin Boivin, a corn and wheat farmer in Quebec’s Estrie region, east of Montreal, who was out protesting on Monday.

Read MoreFactory farms collect billions in taxpayer handouts to install expensive manure digesters that capture and burn methane — and generate profits from the waste. But the systems don’t reduce greenhouse gas emissions — they just move the pollution around.
There has been much media hype about manure digesters and how they will “solve” climate change by capturing and burning methane from confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) — aka factory farms.
Billions in taxpayer handouts and other incentives through pollution offset trading markets are encouraging factory farms to expand and profit from their waste stream.
