How Canada’s Conservatives Botched the Election of a Lifetime

OTTAWA, Ontario—In an astonishing come-from-behind victory, Canada’s Liberal Party narrowly won Monday’s election under its new leader, Prime Minister Mark Carney.

As we went to press after midnight, it was still unclear whether Carney’s Liberals would win an outright majority or whether they would need to attempt to form a government through an alliance with minor left-wing parties. However, it was still a remarkable turnaround for the Liberals, who, at the beginning of the year, appeared doomed to defeat.

‘Everyone’s demoralized.’ Trump’s climate threats rattle world’s biggest science meeting

Censorship. Funding cuts. Layoffs.

Those concerns loom over the world’s largest conference of climate scientists as they brace for whiplash at the White House when President-elect Donald Trump takes office in six weeks. Trump has recently said climate change isn’t happening, called it a hoax and joked that rising seas would create more coastal real estate — all in contradiction to the work of the 25,000 researchers attending the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting in downtown Washington this week.

Mars Next and “All of the Above”

As the next administration takes shape, countless voices are vying for influence over the future of America’s space program. I’d wager one in particular — someone apparently very close to the President-elect — might be suggesting a bold new direction: “Sir. Forget racing China to the moon,” Elon Musk may be saying. “We’re almost ready with Starship. Announce we’ll launch humans to Mars by 2029 — the Apollo anniversary. You’ll go down in history! You’ll be as big as Kennedy!”

If I had that access, it’s exactly what I’d be saying.

Trudeau says dealing with Trump will be ’a little more challenging’ than last time

Speaking at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Trudeau said that’s because Trump’s team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016.

Even still, Trudeau said the answer is not to panic and said Canada can rally together to address the tough scenario the nation will face following Trump’s inauguration in January.

Trump’s new world order Global leaders are reassessing their position

When Donald Trump first visited Paris when President in 2017, he appeared as something of a passing curiosity; the apparent manifestation of America’s inexorable decline, captured in all its spray-tanned vulgarity. Seven years later he has returned to Paris as emperor, crowned by his client kings in none other than the spiritual home of modern Christendom: Notre-Dame. “It was a coronation,” as one European diplomat put it to me, laughing with incredulity at the spectacle.

‘Ridiculous’: Cheney responds to Trump floating jail time for J6 committee members

Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said President-elect Trump floating jail time for her and other members of the Jan. 6 Committee “is a ​​continuation of his assault on the rule of law.”

“Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” Cheney said in a response statement to Trump, which was provided to Fox Digital. “He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave.”

So she’ll refuse Biden’s pardon?

Later in the evening, he posted another photo of himself clasping elbows with Zelenskyy, saying Ukraine has Quebec’s support and solidarity. “Quebec is with Ukraine and will be until the war is over,” he said, adding that the province has welcomed thousands of Ukrainian refugees.

Legault also said he met with Musk, Tesla’s CEO, “to discuss, among other things, international trade and electric vehicles.”

Trump leaves potential Biden and Jack Smith prosecution to Bondi and Patel: ‘Disgrace’

President-elect Donald Trump refused to pledge prosecutorial vengeance against President Joe Biden and special counsel Jack Smith.

Less than three weeks after Trump bested Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 elections, Smith dismissed his case that centered on Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, and his case of Trump’s handling of classified documents. Smith faced accusations of political lawfare online after his filing, but Trump skirted a question on Meet the Press Sunday about whether he’d retaliate with lawfare.

Trump Urges U.S. To Stay Out Of Syria’s Collapse; Israel Agrees

President-elect Donald Trump weighed in on the seemingly imminent collapse of Syria on Saturday afternoon, saying that the U.S. should not get involved in the mess.

In just a little over a week, terrorist rebels have conquered Aleppo in northern Syria and have quickly moved south, capturing Hama, and are now moving through Homs toward the country’s capital city of Damascus.

Trump Fires Early Warning Shot at Dollar’s Would-Be Challengers

Donald Trump has jumped straight into action as the defender of dollar power, training some heavy fire on an enemy that barely even exists.

The president-elect’s recent salvo against the BRICs group of emerging economies was a signal he’ll move aggressively to protect the greenback’s status as the world’s premier money. Any nation that abandons it can forget about selling anything to the US and find another “sucker” to trade with, Trump said.
