Canada's new house speaker elected, asks for "a little grace period"


Global News has the story.

Canadian members of Parliament elected Liberal MP Francis Scarpaleggia as the House of Commons Speaker as their first order of business following the return of Parliament Monday.
 
Scarpaleggia was dragged to the front of the House of Commons by Prime Minister Mark Carney and interim Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer as part of the tradition when a new Speaker is named.
 
Scarpaleggia was up against five other Liberal colleagues, after Conservative MPs John Nater and Chris d’Entremont, the latter who served as former deputy Speaker in the last Parliament, withdrew their names from consideration.
 
“I would remind members that we are at the beginning of a mandate in the selfish hope that you will afford me a little grace period,” Scarpaleggia, an MP from the Montreal area, said. “I have few words because well, we all have things we want to accomplish and we’ve been away.”

"There won’t be a bounceback": Trump tariff impact will be long-lasting, Bank of Canada warns


Global News on Youtube has the story.

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem issued a stark warning during a speech to members of the Mississauga Board of Trade on Friday, saying that the hit to the Canadian economy from broad-based tariffs would be permanent.

“In the pandemic, we had a steep recession followed by a rapid recovery as the economy reopened,” Macklem said. “This time, if tariffs are long-lasting, there won’t be a bounceback.”

Macklem said the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs would “all but wipe out growth in the economy” for 2025 and 2026.

He said Canada could offset some of the impacts of tariffs by making structural changes, such as removing restrictions on interprovincial trade and “harmonizing or mutually recognizing provincial regulations.”

Controversial 51st state billboard stirs up strong reactions in Alberta


Global News on Youtube has the story.

A controversial billboard near Bowden, Alta. is stirring up strong reactions across the province. 

"Somebody paid the money, and they have the perfect right to do so, but you might as well flush it down the toilet," resident Cam Morrison told Global News. 

Placed along the QE2 highway, the sign calls for Alberta to become the 51st state of the United States. It's an idea championed by the Alberta-based group "America Fund," which emerged from the Wexit movement — a push for Canada's western provinces to secede.

While the group insists it has growing support, local residents and officials say the message does not reflect their community. 

"The community is not happy about it in any way, shape or form, and it does not reflect our preferences." Bowden’s mayor, Robb Stuart, reports a flood of angry calls, and many locals strongly oppose the idea.
