Critics have often accused me of having my head in the clouds, if not somewhere darker and more malodorous. But I was literally in a cloud forest, sitting in a volcanic hot spring, when Justin Trudeau announced his resignation last Monday.
It was the first major political event in recent Canadian history I have not covered — and I can’t say I was upset about not participating in the pile-on. Trudeau is going and history will likely judge him more kindly than his contemporaries, as we saw with Brian Mulroney.

Standing at a lectern at Washington’s National Cathedral last Thursday, Joe Biden delivered the eulogy for former President Jimmy Carter while three other former presidents – Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Barack Obama – and the once and future president, Donald Trump, looked on.
Each spectating president had achieved the validation of the American people (re-election to a second term) that has eluded Biden. And as Biden, whose term comes to an end next week, paid tribute to Carter, a fellow one-term president, it was hard not to draw other parallels too.
“Many think he was from a bygone era, but in reality, he saw well into the future,” Biden said of Carter. He went on to note Carter’s accomplishments in advancing civil rights, his work on peace and nuclear non-proliferation, and his efforts to protect the environment.
A poll this week in France found that 78 per cent of respondents are in favour of proscribing the wearing of Muslim headscarves at universities and also for classroom helpers on school outings.
The poll was conducted after comments by the Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, in a newspaper interview. ‘Helpers [on school trips] don’t have to wear headscarves,’ he said. ‘The headscarf is not just a piece of cloth: it’s a banner for Islamism, and a statement of women’s inferiority in relation to men.’ In the same interview, Retailleau promised to stem immigration into France because it ‘is partly linked to Islamism’.
Retailleau’s remarks underline the huge gulf that separates the governments of France and Britain in regard to their attitude towards political Islam.
Donald Trump not only celebrated Justin Trudeau’s resignation, he essentially took credit for it, saying on social media that ”the United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned.”
In sharp contrast, they won’t be popping champagne corks over in Beijing. The Chinese government is losing a longtime champion in Canada.
In 2012, then-opposition MP Justin Trudeau told CTV’s “Question Period” that his support for expanding Chinese state investment in Canada was at least partly because “obviously, my family has historical ties with China.”
Frequently, the small population of Jews are held responsible for geopolitical and other events far beyond their control.
This week, two American “far-left” anti-Israel groups — Code Pink and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), among others — actually blamed Israel for the ongoing California wildfires.
“When US taxes go to burning people alive in Gaza, we can’t be surprised when those fires come home,” Code Pink posted on Instagram.
With Los Angeles still reeling from wildfires that devastated thousands of homes and took at least 14 lives over the past several days, victims of a different natural disaster — Hurricane Helene in North Carolina — are urging Americans not to forget them as they face the prospect of losing their temporary housing in the coming days, months after the storm tore through the western part of the state.
Even as the fires continue to flare up in Los Angeles County, officials are scrambling to accommodate those still suffering in North Carolina, where a winter storm has blanketed parts of the state with snow and ice. Weather services are predicting that temperatures could drop well below freezing in the central and western parts of the state in the coming days.
Half of Canadians are $200 or less away from being unable to cover their monthly bills and debt payments, according to MNP Ltd.’s quarterly report on consumer debt.
“Despite interest rates decreasing, people are still concerned,”said Grant Bazian, president of insolvency firm MNP.
The survey, conducted by Ipsos, found fewer Canadians expect their debt situation to improve in the coming year while a growing number believe it will worsen. More than half say they don’t think they will be able to cover all their living and family expenses in the next year without accruing more debt.
A woman who accused Diddy of raping her with a remote control will be featured in an upcoming documentary about the disgraced hip-hop mogul.
The Peacock documentary, ‘Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,’ includes an interview with the alleged victim, who is only identified by her first name, Ashley. Her face will not be shown on camera, People reported.
In October, she sued Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in U.S. District Court in Northern California, where documents identify her as Ashley Parham.
‘Anything’s possible now’: Liberal MPs shift from ‘hopelessness to optimism’ after Trudeau bows out, though this could fade without the ‘right’ leader
Following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement last week that he would not lead the party in the next election, Liberal MPs say they feel bullish about their prospects in the next election, but also say this optimism could fade if the party fails to elect the “right” leader in the upcoming leadership race.
“I’m going back to my community excited for [the] campaign. I’ve never felt that before,” said a Liberal MP, who spoke on a not-for-attribution basis to speak candidly. “We need to find a leader that connects with Canadians.”
Over the past week, the raging wildfires tearing through Los Angeles County have starkly revealed the profound ineptitude and misguided priorities of California’s leadership, from the statehouse to local government. Yet, as the state faces one of the most expensive wildfire disasters in history, California Democrats are proposing to allocate $50 million from the state budget to fund litigation against the incoming Trump administration and protect illegal migrants from deportation.
