Envoy says France admires Carney’s U.S. stance

Hélène Farnaud-Defromontfrench Ambassador
My mission is very clear. It’s to work toward making France one of Canada’s closest allies in Europe, in each field, in every sector,

Dual elections a headache for some B.C. voters

There’s just so much confusion in the community right now that we’re having to navigate, and it’s just so frustrating,
They had the majority in the government and they still went ahead and wasted taxpayers’ money on something that nobody that I’ve spoken to actually wanted,
