JUST IN: Vladimir Putin says he supports Kamala Harris for president, says he finds her laugh “fascinating.”
The comments come after the DOJ accused Russia of funding Tenet who then paid conservative influencers for videos.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that NDP leader Jagmeet Singh’s announcement Wednesday that he’s “ripping up” his supply and confidence agreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau means Singh wants a snap election.
In the real world, he wants to avoid one given his party’s dismal standing in the polls.
Ditto Trudeau and the Liberals, given that Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives have had a double-digit lead over them in the polls for more than a year.

It’s not as horrendous as endlessly impeaching President Trump for nonsensical reasons, nor nearly as unjust as throwing the rules out the window to gin up a political lynch mob to look into one cherry-picked riot out of the multitudes that were roiling the country at the time. But it’s a Republican start at playing by the Democrats’ new rules — and it’s working.
The Liberal-NDP deal is dead.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh revealed Wednesday that he’s “ripped up” the supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals. With this major parliamentary pact now caput, here’s a look at everything the deal accomplished — and what’s been left unfinished.
Former President Donald Trump’s chances of winning the 2024 election have surged in the last month while Vice President Kamala Harris has struggled to find “a 2nd gear,” according to polling guru Nate Silver.
The data analyst and founder of FiveThirtyEight revealed Wednesday that his presidential race model now indicates that Trump has a 58.2% chance at winning the Electoral College in November compared to Harris’ 41.6% chance.
The B.C. government is backtracking on two controversial harm reduction programs that distribute free drug paraphernalia — such as syringes, crack pipes and snorting kits — through vending machines and online home delivery. This new scandal is yet another reminder of how the province, under the leadership of Premier David Eby, has mishandled the overdose crisis and prioritized enablement over recovery.
Britain could widen the arms sales embargo on Israel if more alleged breaches of international humanitarian law come to light.
Export licences are reviewed every six weeks and ministers could act again should further evidence of potential war crimes emerge, a government source said.
“No-one’s patting themselves on the back and declaring an end to the matter,” the source said.
OTTAWA—It was once the driver of Canada’s nascent clean-technology industry, supported by Liberal and Conservatives alike.
Publicly funded but arms-length from government bureaucracy since 2001, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) was a lifeline to entrepreneurs desperate to find money for their clean-tech innovations.
That was until a damaging mismanagement scandal rocked the agency and the House of Commons last year, forcing the Trudeau government on its heels and prompting it to launch a drastic overhaul of the fund.
It’s a green slush fund.

Volvo has ditched plans to sell only electric cars by 2030 amid waning demand for battery powered vehicles.
The Swedish carmaker blamed the move on changing market conditions, amid fears many of the public continue to prefer petrol and diesel models.
It comes as major carmakers grapple with slowing demand for electric vehicles because of a lack of affordable models and the slow rollout of charging points needed to support electric vehicles.
Dr. Jordan Peterson has pointed out that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which receives over a billion dollars in taxpayer funds each year, has garnered less than 100 viewers on its last 19 videos, and therefore believes it should be defunded.
In an August 31 post on X, Peterson, a best-selling Canadian author and clinical psychologist, implied that that the CBC is massively overfunded considering its dismal engagement numbers with the public.
