Poilievre may lose his Ottawa-area riding as Liberals poised to sweep the region
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is at risk of losing his Ottawa-area riding as the party scrambles to send in volunteers to save the seat he has held since 2004, two federal and two provincial Conservative sources say.
With several polls showing the Liberals poised to win the election, the loss of Mr. Poilievre’s Carleton riding would make it difficult for him to hang on to his federal party leadership post.

🇺🇸 White House cites drop in people caught at Canada-U.S. border as tariffs continue
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday there have been “successes” at the Canada-U.S. border — but offered no new hints about what might convince U.S. President Donald Trump to drop his tariffs on Canada.
Leavitt said only 54 people were apprehended last month in the Swanton Sector of the northern border — which includes areas of New Hampshire, Vermont and New York — a 95 per cent drop since March 2024. She said the area is a “main hot spot” that recorded more than 80 per cent of all apprehensions along the northern border during the 2024 fiscal year.

Conservatives update platform to include omitted 'anti-woke' promise
The Conservative Party has republished the English-language version of its platform after what it says was a "publishing oversight" resulted in the omission of a previous commitment to crack down on "woke ideology" in the public service and federal funding for university research.
Earlier in the campaign, the Conservatives had promised as part of their Quebec platform to "put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research."
When the party released its full national platform on Tuesday, that commitment was repeated in the French-language version, but it was missing from the English version.

Carney accuses Poilievre of using ‘phantom numbers’ in campaign platform
Liberal Leader Mark Carney is accusing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of relying on “phantom numbers” and lowballing the cost of his party’s platform.
Both Carney and Poilievre are looking to poke holes in each other’s platforms — Carney by claiming the Conservatives wouldn’t spend enough to counter a looming economic crisis, and Poilievre by accusing the Liberals of presenting a high-spending plan that would weaken the country’s fiscal position.
Poilievre said Tuesday a Conservative government would chop away at the deficit over the next four years, and claimed Carney would inflate government debt.
