Former British Columbia premier Christy Clark on Thursday, August 11, 2022, endorsed Jean Charest to be the next leader of the federal Conservatives at a time when she says the party is racing to the extremes.

Condolences from Canadian politicians past and present poured out Monday, August 8, 2022, as they learned about the death of Bill Graham, who served as foreign affairs minister when the country decided against joining the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.

When three Conservative leadership hopefuls met this past week for a debate, the same word kept getting repeated.

Jean Charest compared opponents who didn't show up to the federal Conservatives' final leadership debate to fish not wanting to swim.

Jean Charest spent the last official debate of the federal Conservative leadership race on Wednesday, August 3, 2022, stressing that his experience as a political leader is what the party needs to unite.

No audience, no podiums and appearances from only three out of the five candidates running to lead the federal Conservatives.

A New Democrat member of Parliament said on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, she hopes all of her colleagues will recognize the residential schools system as genocide, now that Pope Francis has used the term.

As Pope Francis travelled across Canada, so did a demand to revisit centuries-old declarations.

Pope Francis delivered a historic apology on Monday to survivors of Canada's residential schools. The majority of those government-funded institutions, in which thousands of Indigenous children suffered abuse and neglect, were run by the Catholic Church.

Former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper has endorsed Pierre Poilievre to be the party's next leader.
