Alberta overhauls election laws to allow corporate donations, change referendum thresholds
The Alberta government wants to bring back corporate and union political donations, eliminate the process of vouching for a voter's identity at election polling stations, and lower the threshold for recalls and referendums.
The bill, which amends seven pieces of legislation including the Election Act, would also ban the use of electronic vote tabulators, a measure that was promised by Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservative government.

Poilievre vowed to stay on as party leader despite the disappointing final result, telling his supporters in Ottawa early Tuesday that he needs more time to drive a stake through the Liberals once and for all.
We didn't quite get over the finish line — yet. We know that change is needed, but change is hard to come by. It takes time. It takes work. We have to learn the lessons of tonight so that we can have an even better result the next time Canadians decide the future for the country.

🏫 Quebec court overturns out-of-province tuition hike for English universities
A Quebec Superior Court judge overturned the provincial government’s 2023 tuition hike for out-of-province students attending English-language universities like McGill and Concordia.
The 33% increase ($3,000) was deemed unreasonable due to insufficient evidence supporting claims it would protect French or address low student retention. The court also rejected a requirement mandating 80% of out-of-province undergraduates achieve intermediate French proficiency by graduation, calling it unfeasible.
McGill and Concordia universities, which saw enrolment declines after the hike, challenged the policy as harmful to their financial stability and Quebec’s educational reputation.

🩺 Manitoba family pushes for "Debbie’s Law" to address surgical wait times
The family of Deborah Fewster, a Manitoba woman who died in October 2024 while waiting for cardiac surgery, is advocating for "Debbie’s Law" – proposed legislation requiring healthcare providers to inform patients when wait times exceed medically recommended limits. Supported by SecondStreet. org, the family claims Deborah waited over 60 days for surgery despite a median 12-day wait time cited by the province.
Manitoba Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara has directed steps toward implementation. The law aims to create transparency about surgical delays, with advocates hoping it becomes a national model.
