Tories Call for Answers After RCMP Raids Lion Electric Headquarters

The Conservative Party is calling for the federal government to disclose more information on its funding for electric bus maker Lion Electric, after the RCMP announced it raided the company’s Quebec headquarters as part of an alleged “investment fraud investigation.” “Canadians have a right to know how much of their hard-earned money has been lost to this failed company, including through Export Development Canada: figures the government refuses to release,” Conservative MP Greg McLean said in an Oct. 23 statement. The RCMP told The Epoch Times that the facility in Saint-Jérôme was searched as part of an investigation launched in February 2025 after complaints from more than 100 investors. The RCMP said no arrests or charges are expected at this stage.

Tory MPs Push Ottawa for More Action on COVID Vaccine Injuries

Several Conservative MPs are pressing the federal government to detail the actions it will take to assist Canadians injured by COVID-19 vaccines. “Thousands, across many communities, have come to me over the years, expressing concern over how the government has treated them and those they know and love,” Conservative MP Lianne Rood said during Question Period on Oct. 23. “Will the Liberals finally fulfill the promise they made to Canadians injured by the vaccines that they told them to take?” she asked. Liberal MP and Parliament Secretary to the Minister of Health Maggie Chi said that while vaccines “save lives,” there have also been Canadians negatively impacted by them. She said Ottawa has launched a program to financially compensate those injured by vaccines, and will continue working to “make sure people are supported from any vaccine injuries.”

BC Conservatives File Complaint With Elections Agency Alleging NDP Sent ‘Misleading’ Letter

The BC Conservatives have filed a complaint with Elections BC, saying a letter the NDP mailed contained misinformation and could confuse voters about whether it is official government literature. The letter was dated Oct. 16 and was signed by Dr. Habib Ur-Rehman, who wrote that he is a family physician on the North Shore who moved to British Columbia from England in early 2025. Ur-Rehman also wrote that he and his family moved to the province because they saw the government was willing to listen to doctors and fix the health-care system. He also highlighted some of the positives of the province’s medical system under the NDP government.

Ottawa ‘Disappointed’ After Union Announces Strike Votes for 120,000 Workers

The federal government says it’s “disappointed” after Canada’s largest federal public service union announced 120,000 workers will take part in nationwide strike votes starting next month. The Public Service Alliance of Canada says voting will take place from Nov. 16 to Jan. 22. The union and Treasury Board have been in contract negotiations for a year and a half and PSAC in May called a government wage offer of less than one percent per year “insulting.” The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat says it’s “disappointed” the union has chosen to proceed with a strike vote while the groups are still working through the mediation process.
