TORONTO – Gasoline prices are rising again in Canada. According to an industry analyst, Ontario will see “a big jump” in prices at gas stations this week: prices will reach “levels not seen in almost two years”.
OTTAWA – Tenere il piede in due scarpe è la sua filosofia: sostiene il governo federale dei liberali di Justin Trudeau ma, allo stesso tempo, pretende di fare opposizione con il suo partito “di Sinistra”, l’NDP. Anche sulla carbon tax, Jagmeet Singh tiene fede alla sua filosofia, non prendendo una posizione precisa e definitiva. A volte fa intendere di essere contrario, a volte favorevole. E così si “arrabatta”, facendo – pure in questo caso – opposizione al governo Trudeau e, allo stesso tempo, sostenendolo…

Then, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal arrived for a visit: hugs and kisses with Quebec’s premier.

And he reiterated his commitment to a third referendum on Quebec independence if his party were to take power in the next provincial elections.
