CTV National News: Local businesses getting a boost after ferry travel boom in Atlantic Canada Sarah Plowman speaks with people in Atlantic Canada about the impact the boost in ferry travel is having on local communities after Ottawa reduced the fares.

What a great economic boost for the area.
Between NB and NS passengers increased 34% and vehicles 39%.
NL has almost doubled.
PEI up 25%.
Fares will remain until 2029 and bridge tolls until 2032.

BREAKING:
An Epstein victim testified under oath during Ghislaine Maxwell's trial that Epstein took her to meet Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago-when she was just 14 years old.
This isn't gossip. It's sworn testimony in a federal courtroom.

Ex-Canada MP (who called Trump a β€˜sexual predator’) hits him with another stinging insult The former Parliament member responded to Trump's expected participation in the G7 summit.

C'mon Donald,
There has to be something you aspire to that is higher than being an obedient sock puppet for the war criminal Vladimir Putin.

Healthcare in Canada is one of the most important services we have. I support #universalhealthcare and its public healthcare access for ALL.I’m not in favour of privatization having worked in both public and private healthcare.Profit margins on the backs of illness, disease, and treatment is gross.

Alberta
We gotta talk
By voting CPC every election you've rendered your vote useless
No politician will pay attention to Alberta
The left could give every Albertan a million dollars each & you'd still vote CPC
& the CPC gives you NOTHING & you still vote for them

Patrick and Laura’s home in Etobicoke was built after WWII, when Canada faced a housing crisis and the government stepped in to build more homes.

Now we’re facing another housing crisis, and it’s time your government got back into the business of building homes.

White text on a red background reads: "Time to remember the best voting advice I have heard – Voting isn’t marriage – it’s public transport. You are not waiting for 'the one' who is absolutely perfect. You are getting the bus. And if there isn’t one going exactly to your destination, you don’t stay at home and sulk – you take the one going closest to where you want to be."

Why am I voting for the Liberal candidate this election?
Because I care deeply about my country.
I am indigenous, I am a woman, I am disabled,
but above all;
I am Canadian 🍁
This election is about us all.
About sovereignty. About patriotism. About the true north,
strong and free.
That's why. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Poilievre Family Backed Undocumented Uncle-In-Law’s Immigration Application While Launching Trump-like Attacks on Migrants
Toronto, March 28, 2025 -- Migrant Workers Alliance for Change is responding to last night’s explosive story in The Breach Media that revealed that Pierre Poilievre’s relativeβ€”the uncle of his wife, Anaida Poilievreβ€”lived undocumented in Canada after his asylum claim was rejected, and received help from Mrs. Poilievre and an undisclosed MP’s office in 2021 in his efforts to get permanent residency.
 
β€œPoilievre has vilified migrants, blaming them for the housing and affordability crisis, and says he plans to β€˜track down’ and deport undocumented people even though his wife, who is a public figure heavily involved in his campaign, supported the regularization of her uncle. Why does Poilievre think other families don’t deserve the same rights as his own? All families deserve to be together, and every refugee, migrant and undocumented person should have permanent resident status in order to access equal rights."

Do not listen to bullies. U.S. military planes arrived in Greenland at a U.S. military base β€” bc the PM REFUSED to meet them. Delegation includes Congressman Mike Waltz, who plan to make the islanders β€œan offer they can’t refuse.”

HOW is this not an act of war?!

This is how they annexed Hawaii.
