Poilievre claps back ahead of carbon price hike: ‘Eby’s constituents can’t even afford baloney” (Global)

Photography is how I make a living and it’s also how I process my experience of the world. In the immediate days after my dad died, I often felt the weight of dissonant, opposing emotions. Our relationship was complex and thus created polarizing memories that can bring a smile to my face or overwhelm me with sadness. Creating double exposures was a way for me to express the contradicting and fraught emotions I was experiencing ... CLICK HERE for the full story

Where the new electoral map will matter most (The Writ)

If the next federal election is called today, it will be fought over the existing 338-seat map. If it is called tomorrow or any day afterwards, it will be the new and expanded 343-seat map that will decide the outcome. In addition to the five extra seats that are up for grabs, most ridings have also seen their boundaries change.
