Your lookahead horoscope: June 1, 2025

  The skeptics and the cynics will come up with all sorts of reasons why you should curb your enthusiasm this year but you must ignore each and every one of them. Step up to the plate and hit every pitch they throw at you out of the park. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): If you concern yourself too much with what other people think about you it will leave less time and less energy to invest in the things that really matter. Pretend you can’t hear a word your critics are saying and listen to your instincts instead. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): Why are you looking so serious? Whatever the reason you need to lighten up a bit, because you will only make a success of what you are working on if you have a smile on your face. Good humour is essential for good results. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): You may find it hard to put your feelings into words over the next few days but your body language will speak volumes and friends and colleagues will be left in no doubt what you think of them.

Poilievre Retains Conservative Support Amid Leadership Uncertainty



Conservative MPs gathered for their first caucus meeting since the recent federal election, where leader Pierre Poilievre received strong backing despite losing both the election and his own seat. While many MPs voiced their support for Poilievre, the party retains the ability to trigger a leadership review through a secret-ballot vote, as outlined in the Reform Act.

Poilievre, who led the Conservatives to a historic 41% of the popular vote but failed to secure victory over the Liberals, has indicated his desire to remain as leader. Several high-profile MPs, including Andrew Scheer and Michael Barrett, have publicly endorsed his continued leadership, citing his ability to expand the party’s base.

However, with Poilievre no longer holding a seat in the House of Commons, the party must appoint an interim Opposition leader. Additionally, discussions are underway regarding a potential byelection to allow Poilievre to return to Parliament.

Despite internal debates, the prevailing sentiment among Conservative MPs appears to favor Poilievre’s leadership moving forward. Whether the caucus will exercise its power to review his position remains to be seen.
