New NDP Leader Avi Lewis begins his term in earnest with two major tasks ahead -- rebuild and get the federal party ready for an election, and manage opposition from the Alberta and Saskatchewan NDP.聽

The leaders of those provincial parties have distanced themselves from Lewis over his opposition to new pipelines and liquefied natural gas terminals.聽

Lewis has said there will be disagreements between the federal and provincial wings of the NDP on certain policies, but it's part of having a big tent united by core values.

In addition to dealing with provincial tensions, Lewis is now responsible for trying to lead the NDP out of the political wilderness.聽

Liberals dismiss call for law to ensure political fibs and flubs don't eclipse facts

The Liberal government has dismissed a Toronto man's proposal to keep politicians honest in an age of misinformation, saying there are already several ways to fight falsehoods.

Federico Sanchez initiated an electronic petition to the House of Commons to propose legislation that would help correct the record when members of Parliament stray from the truth intentionally or simply because they are ill-informed.

The petition called misinformation a growing threat to the democratic process and said a mechanism was needed to verify MPs' public statements to maintain trust in Canada's governing body.

Fearing Canada could follow the path of the United States, Sanchez said he was "very upset" by the lack of federal interest.

Danielle Smith says diverse opinions welcome after MLA supports separatist petition

Alberta's premier says she welcomes diverse opinions in her caucus after a legislature member of her United Conservative Party opined a referendum on separation is good for the province.

Danielle Smith says her government supports a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada, despite the views Red Deer-South MLA Jason Stephan expressed in an op-ed published on an online conservative media outlet's website.

Stephan says he invites all who love freedom and prosperity to sign a petition pushing for a referendum on separation, and that Ottawa is trying to gaslight Albertans into thinking a referendum will cause economic uncertainty.

The Alberta Chambers of Commerce has said talk of the province potentially quitting Confederation is bad for business.

It was an all-Canadian love-in at Sunday's Juno Awards as Joni Mitchell took the stage for a stirring sing-along after accepting a lifetime achievement award from Prime Minister Mark Carney.
