Your daily horoscope: May 9, 2025

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY A change of direction is a must this year as you have reached the end of your current journey and need a new challenge. Make a break with the past and make it one that cannot be reversed. Move forward fast and don’t look back. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Someone you meet on your travels will catch your eye and maybe your heart as well. If it’s true that opposites attract you could find yourself getting close to someone whose charms are very different to your own – and remarkably the relationship will work.

Poilievre Defends Leadership Victory Amid Allegations of Foreign Interference

 

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre has firmly denied allegations of foreign interference in his 2022 leadership campaign, asserting that he won "fair and square." Recent reports from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) suggest that Indian agents and their proxies may have been involved in organizing support within the South Asian community for Poilievre during the race. However, CSIS has stated there is no evidence that Poilievre or his team were aware of these alleged activities.

Poilievre has also faced criticism for his refusal to obtain top-secret security clearance, which would allow him to access intelligence on foreign interference. He argues that such clearance would restrict his ability to speak freely and hold the government accountable. Liberal Leader Mark Carney has called this stance "irresponsible," emphasizing the importance of security clearance for party leaders in addressing foreign meddling.

Despite the controversy, Poilievre remains steadfast, highlighting his decisive first-ballot victory and dismissing claims of external influence. He has also criticized the Liberal government for what he perceives as attempts to silence him through security protocols. 

The debate over foreign interference and security clearance continues to dominate the political landscape as Canada approaches its next federal election.
