Poilievre alters motion to push Alberta's energy deal, while Carney's government advances tough new anti-violence laws.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre amended a motion in Parliament to include elements of the new Alberta climate and energy agreement, aiming to pressure Liberal MPs into backing the full deal or opposing it outright, following the government’s dismissal of his original push for a B.C. pipeline and tanker lift. The revised motion sparked debate over climate policy and energy development, with Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson calling it divisive, while some Liberal MPs expressed concern. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government introduced Bill C-16, the Protecting Victims Act, proposing harsher penalties for intimate partner violence, child predators, and online exploitation, including new offences for coercive control and deepfakes, with mandatory minimums subject to judicial override. The legislation also targets trial delays and strengthens victims' rights.
