Liberal Ranks Grow as Michael Ma Joins Carney’s Team

                      Markham-Unionville MP Michael Ma crossed the floor to join the Liberals on Thursday. In a dramatic political shift on Parliament Hill, Michael Ma, the Member of Parliament for Markham–Unionville, announced on December 11, 2025, that he is leaving the Conservative caucus to sit with the Liberals . His decision follows weeks of consultation with constituents and family, and comes on the heels of Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont’s defection last month. Ma explained that his move was motivated by a desire for “unity and decisive action for Canada’s future.” He praised Prime Minister Mark Carney’s leadership, describing it as a steady and practical approach to tackling pressing issues such as affordability, economic growth, community safety, and opportunities for young families. The floor-crossing is politically significant: the Liberals now hold 171 seats, just one short of a majority in the House of...

Your daily horoscope: December 19

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Some of your passions may be baffling to friends and colleagues but to you they make perfect sense, so give yourself permission to act in ways that not everyone will approve of and make the next 12 months truly special – for you at least!

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

The sooner you realize that ambition is not a dirty word the happier you will be. Cosmic activity in and around the career area of your chart over the next few days will encourage you to get the better of those you think of as rivals.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Your beliefs may seem to be set in stone but the planets indicate they will go through a number of far-reaching changes over the next few days. If you can learn to look at life from a slightly different angle you’ll be amazed by what you discover.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You don’t have to be assertive to prove that you are as tough as other people. On the contrary, you will impress others more if you hold back a bit today and stay on good terms with partners, colleagues and, yes, your rivals too.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You need to get into the habit of allowing other people to make decisions for you. When the sun moves into your opposite sign at the weekend even those you are close to will want to flex their muscles a bit. Let them. It can’t hurt you.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you push yourself too hard between now and the weekend you could regret it later on when you find that your energy levels take an unexpected dip. Map out your schedule for the next few days and make sure you leave yourself plenty of free time.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You have so much to look forward and although you might not quite believe that now you will start to believe it when the Sun moves into the most dynamic area of your chart on the 21st. Life is good and about to get even better.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If you aim to co-operate rather than compete over the next 24 hours you will accomplish so much more, especially in one-to-one situations where you have not always had the best of things in recent weeks. Be more of a team player Libra.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Anyone who tells you what to think and how to feel will be left in no doubt that their opinions are not wanted. Just be careful they are not trying to play a double bluff on you by suggesting the opposite of what they truly desire.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Put your own needs first today, because once the Sun leaves your sign on the 21st you could find that you no longer have the clout to push ahead with plans that other people do not approve of. Use your power while you’ve still got it.  

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Your best time of the year is just days away and if you are smart you will be making plans left, right and center. Keep telling yourself there is nothing you cannot do and no one you cannot impress. Believe it deeply enough and it will be true.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You will achieve more in the long term if you get together with people who share your aims and ambitions rather than going your own way each and every time. There is power in numbers and with the right people by your side you will be invincible.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Your highly developed sixth sense rarely if ever gives you bad guidance, so if it is now warning you to take care on the work front that is exactly what you must do. The sad fact is not all your colleagues want to see you succeed.
