Do you remember when a crowd of Carleton candidates prepared for battle during April’s federal election? It partially led to Pierre Poilievre’s dismissal as the longtime MP for that riding. Well, next month, Poilievre will be attempting a political resurgence, as he tries to re-enter the House of Commons as an Alberta MP. This time, over 50 candidates will be standing in his way. CFRA’s Chris Holski delivers the latest developments. Plus, there has been a growing uproar as to how e-scooters and e-bikes are being regulated. A big part of that confusion is the amount of legislation that’s already in place, and it’s not very vast. We dig deeper with Julie Beun, who is a spokesperson for CAA North and East Ontario.

When her neighbours came knocking at her door last Monday afternoon telling her to evacuate, Barbara Watson was calm. Too calm. From her church-conversion house in Small Point-Adam’s Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove, N.L., she could see smoke in the distance, yes, but assumed it was a little fire in the woods that would be easy to extinguish. She grabbed her small cross-body bag, some freshly washed laundry and her asthma inhaler and headed to a friend’s place in Western Bay, a 10-minute drive away, assuming the evacuation order would be lifted in a day or two.
