Liberal leadership hopeful Clark denies former Conservative ties — despite past comments

Former B.C. Premier Christy Clark, considering a federal Liberal leadership bid, denies being a Conservative Party member despite evidence from 2022 showing she joined to support Jean Charest in the leadership race. The Conservative Party provided records of her membership, contradicting her claim that she never formally joined or voted. Clark disputes the records and past statements, asserting she never completed the process and accusing the party of potential fabrication.

Poilievre says Canada selling oil and gas at "massive price discount" to US

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his focus in the next federal election will be on ending the carbon price, even with the threat of tariffs from the incoming Trump administration.

When asked about whether tariffs on energy should form the basis of Canada's response to the U.S., Poilievre said that Canada is "selling oil and gas at a massive price discount to American refineries and LNG plants that are able to massively profit at our expense.. because of stupid and fanatical environmental extremists in the Liberal government and throughout the country."

Residents want answers after fuel leak shuts down a Woodstock Tim Hortons

Five large pump trucks idle loudly in an otherwise empty Tim Hortons parking lot in Woodstock.

Some have the words Environmental Services stencilled on their sides. Others say Septic Tank Cleaning, Oil Spill Response.

Some people in the area say they heard truckers had complained about the smell of gas on their hands after washing up at the now darkened and closed Tim Hortons. And other customers had complained about the taste of fuel in their beverages as far back as late November.

"Everybody I know, they discuss it," said Verne Beers, 81, who lives about 700 metres from that Tim Hortons location on Beardsley Road.

But despite all their questions, it was only this week the province confirmed that there had, in fact, been a fuel leak — at Murray's Irving gas station restaurant, located just across the parking lot from the Tims.

OCDSB announces major restructuring of elementary program

Ottawa's largest English-language school board is proposing significant changes to boundaries, grade configurations and program offerings at its elementary schools.

Set to take effect in the fall of 2026, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) says it's simplifying its programs in an effort to bring students back to schools in their own communities, rather than make them travel around the district. The proposed changes include eliminating alternative schools by turning them into community schools, a major redistribution of school boundaries and new options for immersion programming.

Can someone be prime minister if they're not an MP?

A few of the potential candidates to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau do not currently have a seat in the House of Commons — but that would not prevent them from being sworn in if they win the Liberal leadership race.

Former governor of the Bank of Canada Mark Carney is expected to formally announce a bid for leadership this week while Frank Baylis — a businessman and former Montreal MP — announced his candidacy last week.

Former B.C. premier Christy Clark had been considering putting her name forward but announced Tuesday that she wouldn't be running.
