Poilievre seen as best leader to deal with Trump: Ipsos poll

Ipsos polling done exclusively for Global News and released Tuesday shows Liberal support has dropped five points, down to 21 per cent, since September and is now tied with the New Democratic Party, which saw its own share increase by five per cent in the same period.

Latest twist in Jamie Foxx’s downward spiral: Fans brand him racist and misogynist after anti-white tirade – a year after ‘anti-semitism’ scandal – as he’s left requiring stitches after glass throwing incident

He said of dating: ‘Sisters, I’m here to tell you, I’ve been cured. I’ve been cured of everything, no more white girls. I’m serious, no more white girls. No more white girls. No more. No more white girls.’

CHARLEBOIS: Taxing grocery store food wrong, GST break makes things worse

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s recent testimony before the Senate to support the government’s proposed temporary two-month GST holiday has faced significant backlash.

Senators criticized the measure as a flawed piece of fiscal policy driven more by political survival than sound economics. The proposal is particularly troubling because it could lead to unintended consequences, including opportunity pricing by grocers that may impact even non-taxable food items.

Liberals table fall economic update despite losing finance minister

OTTAWA — Liberal House leader Karina Gould has tabled the government’s fall economic statement in the House of Commons.

… The document shows a much larger deficit than expected for the fiscal year that ended last March because of billions of dollars the government expects to pay for Indigenous legal claims and pandemic-related benefits and loans it doesn’t expect to recover.

The deficit for 2023-24 came in at $61.9 billion, almost $22 billion more than forecast when the government delivered its budget last spring.

It sucks, everyone knew it would.

Chrystia Freeland’s resignation triggers chaos and Liberal calls for Justin Trudeau to step down

The sudden resignation of Justin Trudeau’s finance minister threw his leadership into doubt and his minority government into chaos Monday after Chrystia Freeland quit just hours before she was set to deliver a key fiscal update in the House of Commons.

Instead, Freeland’s stunning resignation, her revelations that Trudeau wanted to yank her from the finance portfolio, that she and Trudeau had argued for weeks over “political gimmicks” in the fall economic update, and clashed over how best to ready Canada for the Trump administration’s threatened tariff war set the stage for a day of intense political drama on Parliament Hill.

Justin believes he is the Chosen One. He won’t do the right thing.

Alleged Chinese spy linked to Prince Andrew named as Yang Tengbo

The alleged Chinese spy with links to Prince Andrew and who made connections at the heart of the UK establishment has been named as Yang Tengbo, a businessman also known as Chris Yang.

Yang, whose identity was previously protected by an anonymity order, can be named after a judge lifted the ban on Monday afternoon.

In a statement, Yang said he had applied for the order to be lifted in order to issue a public denial about the claims made about him. He said he was not a spy and had “done nothing wrong or unlawful and the concerns raised by the Home Office against me are ill-founded”.

John Ivison: Chrystia Freeland’s savage exit

Who saw Chrystia Freeland pulling a gun, after Justin Trudeau unsheathed a knife?

The finance minister is an unlikely champion of the Chicago Way, but she has just pulled off a coup that may end up toppling this government.

Just hours before she was due to give her fall economic statement, she quit.

A leadership bid? She may be popular among Liberals but she is nearly as despised as Justin by TROC.
