Edmonton: So, Mark Carney just kicked off his campaign to lead the Liberal Party, and now everyone’s waiting to see what Chrystia Freeland will do next. It’s like a game of political chess, and the spotlight is on her.
Carney made his announcement in Edmonton, surrounded by supporters. It’s a big deal, and you can bet Freeland is feeling the pressure to respond soon. She’s expected to jump into the race herself, and folks are curious about her stance on consumer carbon pricing, especially since it’s a policy she once backed.
Time is ticking for other potential candidates too. They’ve got less than a week to decide if they want to throw their hats in the ring. It’s all heating up!
In other news, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is in Washington, trying to tackle those pesky U.S. tariffs. She’s meeting with both sides of the aisle, which is smart, especially with the incoming president’s threats looming over trade.
Meanwhile, Canadian tech companies are feeling a bit lost with Parliament prorogued. They’re looking to Europe for guidance on regulations while they wait for things to get back to normal.
And in a small Ontario town, a local man’s request to declare June as Pride month has turned into a long legal battle. It’s a tough situation, and it’s shining a light on LGBTQ+ rights in the area.
Lastly, Paul Gross and Martha Burns are gearing up for a new production of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.” They’re bringing their own marriage experience to the stage, which should add an interesting twist to their roles.
