The Trudeau government's attempt to modernize the Official Languages Act has raised eyebrows in legal circles, sparked pushback from language rights activists, and prompted four Liberal MPs to take a stand against a bill that was tabled by their own party. But what is Bill C-13? And why has it faced significant resistance? Here's a rundown of what's included in the proposed legislation and why it has many in Quebec's English-speaking community worried. What's in the bill? According to Prime Mini
Protesters have broken barricades near the home of Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem after the Israeli prime minister sacked his defence minister for criticising proposals to overhaul the judiciary. Yoav Gallant is a senior member of Mr Netanyahu's ruling Likud party, but broke ranks as an increasing number of Israeli Defence Force (IDF) reservists have been going on strike in protest at the government's proposals. The proposals would see ministers hold more control over the appointments of judges, including in the Supreme Court, while diminishing that body's ability to veto legislation or rule against the government.

A senior American national security official says Canadian leaks of information around allegations of foreign election interference from China have not affected key international intelligence sharing relationships.

The Five Eyes alliance is made up of Canada, the United Kingd
In Smithers, B.C., Sundays are shift-change days. The grocery store parking lots fill with work trucks bearing bumper stickers that proclaim love for Canadian pipelines. The highway becomes a stream of pickups, their orange safety flags — that tower above the trucks on the worksite for visibility — tucked down for travel. Outside a local hotel, vehicles assigned to a controversial RCMP unit tasked with policing opposition to industrial projects make up a majority of the trucks and SUVs flanking
Three GOP lawmakers recently introduced a new plan to use an oversight law to overturn Biden's student-debt relief, but it faces a tough road ahead.
Union Pacific has become the second major freight railroad in the past week to back away from the industry's longstanding push to cut train crews down to one person as lawmakers and regulators increasingly focus on rail safety following last month's fiery derailment in Ohio. The Feb. 3 derailment of a Norfolk Southern train that forced the evacuation of roughly half the town of East Palestine near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border after officials released and burned toxic chemicals is what sparked the renewed interest in railroad safety. A bipartisan bill that's gaining support in Congress would require railroads to maintain two-person crews and make several other changes designed to reduce the chances of future derailments.
OTTAWA — A newly released memo shows the prime minister's national security adviser warned him to expect some pushback from planned public consultations about a foreign agent registry, given that countries have used such registries as tools of control. In her memo last August, Jody Thomas told Justin Trudeau the discussions "may elicit a range of reactions" — from applause to reservations. "Concerns may be further amplified since some foreign governments, like Russia, have used 'foreign agent re

First came the bank run, then the demise, of California-based Silicon Valley Bank two weeks ago. Soon after, New York-based Signature Bank also collapsed. These back-to-back episodes — the second- and third-largest bank failures in U.S. history, respectively — compelled American officials to act publicly to prevent a broader financial crisis. "We are taking decisive actions to protect the U.S. economy by strengthening public confidence in our banking system," officials from the U.S. Treasury, Fe

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday, a day after Gallant broke ranks with the government and urged a halt to a highly contested plan to overhaul the judicial system. Some three months since taking office, Netanyahu's nationalist-religious coalition has been plunged into crisis over the bitter divisions exposed by its flagship judicial overhaul plans.
French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne plans to meet with opposition leaders and trade unions in the hope of ending weeks of protests against a new pension law, her office said on Sunday. Demonstrations against the pension reform, which will raise the retirement age by two years, turned violent after the government pushed through the legislation this month without a final parliamentary vote. President Emmanuel Macron has ruled out scrapping or delaying the legislation, tasking his prime minister with finding fresh support in parliament after the government failed to find enough votes for the bill.
Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi says he "will not stop" after being stripped of his MP status.
The Mexican government said Sunday it would challenge the Supreme Court's temporary suspension of parts of a controversial electoral reform pushed by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. The Supreme Court on Friday halted parts of the reform, which was a scaled-down version of a failed constitutional reform originally sought. Mexico's government said in a statement it will challenge the decision through its legal department and blasted the court's suspension.
Canada plans to invest $7.3 billion to upgrade its fighter jet bases and Far North landing strips to accommodate the air force's new F-35s, the Prime Minister's Office announced Friday at the conclusion of a visit by U.S. President Joe Biden. It remains to be seen, however, whether the announcement represents the accelerated investment in continental defence that Washington had been calling for before the two leaders met in Ottawa this week. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also announced that the
