Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to meet with U-S President Donald Trump in the not-too-distant future after securing the Liberals’ fourth mandate from voters in Monday’s federal election.
Trump congratulated the Liberal leader in a call on Tuesday, just hours after Carney’s pledge during a late-night victory speech to unite a divided country in the face of ongoing tensions with the U-S.
The projections came in Tuesday afternoon that Prime Minister Mark Carney will lead a minority Liberal government. Elections Canada spent Tuesday wrapping up counting all the ballots in what turned out to be a razor-close race leaving the Liberals just three seats short of winning a majority. Analysts point to Ontario as the Liberals fell short of a majority, as the party lost many incumbents in the Greater Toronto Area and York Region. The Conservatives also performed much better in those areas and in the Prairies.
Northern Pulp filed documents Tuesday requesting an extension of the stay of proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act until July 18th.
The company will use the time to further advance preparations for a potential sale of its assets, should a new mill not be feasible.

The hearing before the CCAA court is set for May 2. Northern Pulp will continue to work with and support the Monitor throughout the remaining CCAA process.
A rise in school violence across Nova Scotia has prompted the province to update its code of conduct. The move comes after the auditor general reported last year that there had been a 60-per-cent increase in reported school violence since 2017. Kim Adair’s report said training and prevention measures have failed to keep pace with the jump in violent behaviour, and staff said they felt unprepared to deal with the concerning trend. The revised code of conduct has stronger definitions of unacceptable behaviour, such as racism, bullying and cyberbullying, sexual assault and physical violence. It is expected to take effect in September.
