between capital and operation spending. Everything costs too much. Canadians can't afford to live. Conservative leader Pierre Palliev renewed his attacks on Carney and the Liberals, though asked how his caucus would vote, said this. 100% of our MPs opposed the costly Carney credit card budget. Facing a confidence vote in a minority parliament, the Liberals could be in the familiar territory of looking for support from the bloc Quebecois or the NDP.

Russia launched a massive drone and missile strike on Ukraine's capital Kiev early Friday, killing at least six people and wounding dozens. The strikes hitting energy facilities,

Ontario Transportation Minister Prep Meet Singh, Sakaria, says there are better ways to achieve that goal. Our focus has been on immediate measures that will stop an individual from speeding as they enter into its own. We need not to focus on revenue generation, but tools that will actually reduce the speed at the time of entry. The Ford government says it will

provide more than $200 million for other road safety measures like speed bumps and raised crosswalks. Dozens of Ontario mayors disagreed with the move, urging the province to tweak the program instead of scrapping it entirely. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled against making changes to impair driving tests. The cases involve two New Brunswick men convicted of drunk driving.

The Alberta Federation of Labor says it's moving forward

Our Federation of Labor has actually formally established a committee called the General Strike Committee, okay?

And it is meeting now to talk about what a general strike will look like in the wake of Bill 2, in the wake of the UCP's use of the notwithstanding clause to strip workers of rights and in the lead up to the next provincial election. McGowan also introducing the workers' agenda described as an action plan against UCP government policies. That is the world this hour.
