Thirty Canadian MPs — including NDP and Green leaders Jagmeet Singh and Elizabeth May, and four members of the governing Liberal caucus — have joined forces with counterparts in New Zealand and Australia in support of recognizing a Palestinian state.
In an open letter published on Wednesday, more than 100 parliamentarians from nine political parties urged their governments to join the 146 countries which have recognized Palestinian statehood.
Ford said on Wednesday it would cut around 14% of its European workforce, blaming significant losses in recent years compounded by weak demand for electric vehicles, a lack of government support for the shift to EVs, and rising competition.
The U.S. company is the latest automaker after Nissan, Stellantis and GM to cut costs as the industry struggles with growing competition from Chinese rivals in Europe, waning demand in China, and the challenges of shifting to EVs that remain too expensive for most consumers to buy.

The combined federal and provincial government debt in seven provinces has surpassed the value of all goods and services produced in those provinces. This not only impairs economic growth but also directly impacts our daily lives and living standards, as revealed by a new study published by the Fraser Institute.
Author Jason Childs says, “When government debt grows so high that it is larger than the entire value of the economy, not only does additional debt offer no benefit to growth, living standards stagnate.”
OTTAWA — Canadian smokers who are trying to save a few bucks by purchasing contraband cigarettes may not realize that they are participating in a growing illicit industry that is now surpassing legal sales of tobacco in some parts of the country.
According to a new study commissioned by the Convenience Industry Council of Canada (CICC), which represents retailers and convenience stores across the country, contraband tobacco now accounts for 29 per cent of the market in Alberta, 38 per cent in Nova Scotia, 45 per cent in Manitoba, and a whopping 52 per cent in New Brunswick.
The insignia of a donkey, maybe if bucking its hind legs, can still work as truth in advertising for Democrats. But for the party of the kickback pigs, mobbing the trough seems a more accurate symbol.
Democrats, the party of government graft and grifts, fell victim to graft and grifts this election cycle.
The Harris campaign paid Nu Vision Media $350,000 immediately prior to Roland Martin, who runs that company, conducting a half-hour interview of the vice president that nobody watched. “It should have been a hell of a lot more,” Martin told the New York Times about not his viewership numbers, but the money paid to his group. “More should have been spent on Black-owned media.”
PHILADELPHIA — Sheriff Haeda Raa left Liberia to escape a violent tribal initiation ritual, reaching Central America by plane and, finally, the U.S. border with Mexico by bus and on foot late last year.
U.S. immigration officials held him for five days. He didn’t know where he’d go if he was released. He had no family or friends to turn to for guidance. But he did get a word of advice from a fellow detainee.
“Go to Philadelphia,” Raa, 48, recalled his saying. “We have a community there.”

SEOUL—In a country that fetes its military elites like celebrities, Col. Gen. Kim Yong Bok was rarely seen—or even mentioned—in public. His role leading North Korea’s special forces required him to keep a low profile to conceal his identity. But now he is a very public figure.
He is the top North Korean military official in Russia, where more than 11,000 North Korean soldiers have been deployed to aid Moscow’s efforts to dislodge Ukrainian troops who have seized a chunk of Russian territory.
Kyiv and Seoul officials have confirmed his presence in Russia. In recent days, President Biden gave the green light for Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied, long-range weapons to strike inside Russia—with the new North Korean presence a motivating factor. Ukraine fired those missiles for the first time on Tuesday, hitting an ammunition storage facility in Russia’s Bryansk region.
Biden’s surprise decision on Sunday, November 17, 2024, to authorize Ukraine to utilize long-range U.S. missiles capable of reaching 186 miles into Russia requires explanation. (As of this writing, Ukraine has already fired a missile into Russia.) Does the U.S. military believe that allowing Ukraine to fire a few U.S.-manufactured Army Tactical Missile systems (“ATACMS”) into Russia will win the war for Ukraine? Or is Biden’s decision evidence that the United States is in a military coup d’etat aimed at escalating the war in Ukraine so Donald Trump will not be able to settle the war should he manage to be inaugurated in approximately two months, on January 20, 2025?
A Canadian billionaire has been ordered to surrender two of his mansions at the request of four women who allege he sexually abused them as minors.
Robert Miller, 81, is to have his two Montreal homes seized after Justice Serge Gaudet handed down a ruling against him on Friday.

The rise of Eurosceptic, nationalist, populist parties, which are now making the running in France, Italy, Belgium, Austria, the Netherlands and Germany, has horrified Europe’s political elites.
Take the sneering response by one Berlin-based think-tank to the populist revolt that was so evident in the European Union (EU) elections in the summer.
The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) lamented that ‘the EU’s “whiteness” was on full display’, despairing that ‘drivers of discontent [are] behind [a] drift to ethnic European-ness’.
Panic engulfed MSNBC headquarters on Wednesday after parent company Comcast confirmed a massive spinoff of its cable properties — with a top executive even suggesting the left-leaning network may be forced to change its name.
MSNBC stars Rachel Maddow, Chris Jansing and Katy Tur joined a tense 10 a.m. meeting at 30 Rock in Midtown led by NBCUniversal chairman Mark Lazarus, who will lead the new company, sources told The Post.
Amid the last-ditch effort to reverse the wreckage of his government’s radical immigration policies, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing ahead with a series of restrictionist moves designed to signal to Canadian voters that he has heard their frustrations.
The cost of Canada’s federal bureaucracy has surged by 73% since 2016, reaching $69.5 billion in 2023-24, according to a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO).
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is calling for urgent measures to curb spending, citing concerns over inefficiencies and escalating costs.

Yet again we find ourselves scratching our heads, or C.S. Lewis’, over what they teach in schools. Like calling Remembrance Day a lousy time to wear a Canadian Forces uniform but a grand chance to celebrate Hamas, then stammering nonsense when criticized because they had no idea anyone might disagree with the sweeping decolonization of so-called Canada.
