It means the party will hold its third leadership contest since 2018, when the party lost government and was relegated to third place in the legislature.

A spokesperson for Universal Ostrich Farms says the farm will ask the Supreme Court of Canada to stop the culling of 400 ostriches hit by avian flu, but it is not clear yet whether Canada’s highest court will hear the case.
Katie Pasitney said the farm remains hopeful that it will get another chance to make its case, after Federal Court of Appeal Justice Gerald Heckman ruled Friday the cull of the animals must be allowed to proceed.
