Poilievre rejoices post victory in byelection, expressing satisfaction with returning to political duty.

In a recent turn of events, Liberal MP Bruce Fanjoy has been replaced by Pierre Poilievre in the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton, following Poilievre's victory in the byelection in the federal Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot. Poilievre was previously ousted from his Ottawa-area riding in April's federal election, with Damien Kurek, who represented the riding since 2019, resigning his seat for Poilievre to run in a second chance race.

Upon his return to Parliament, Poilievre has been vocal in his criticism of Prime Minister Mark Carney. He described Carney as "one walking, talking broken promise," citing his failures as costing more, endangering families, and weakening the country. Poilievre also criticised Carney for failing to secure a trade deal with the United States, referencing the hockey phrase 'elbows up' in his criticism of Carney's handling of trade negotiations.

There is no specific information about when Poilievre plans to hold Carney accountable before the parliament. However, Poilievre has expressed his intention to do so when Parliament returns in the fall.

Meanwhile, Canada Post and the union have agreed to restart labor talks after the Air Canada strike ends. The resumption of bargaining talks comes at a time when reports of hateful conduct in the Canadian military have been rising after years of decline.

In other news, Canadians won't see a price increase for the weight-loss drug Mounjaro despite a hike in the U.K. This development is a relief for the 1.4 million Canadians who missed a credit payment in the second quarter, a stark indication of the economic challenges faced by many Canadians.

As the restart continues, Air Canada flights are set to ramp up. This comes as good news for travellers, who have been affected by the strike. The resumption of Air Canada flights also signals a return to normalcy for the Canadian economy, which has been impacted by the strike.

In conclusion, the return of Pierre Poilievre to Parliament has added a new dimension to the political landscape, with Poilievre promising to hold Prime Minister Mark Carney accountable for his failures. Meanwhile, Canada Post and the union have resumed labor talks, and the economy is slowly recovering from the Air Canada strike. The future remains uncertain, but Canadians are hopeful for a brighter tomorrow.
