Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Mexico to match trade tariffs on Chinese imports and says Canada and the United States should consider striking their own bilateral free trade deal if that doesn’t happen.
The Premier’s missive at Mexico comes after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency with a promise to reopen the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement when it is up for review in 2026. The USMCA replaced the North America free-trade agreement and came into effect in 2020.
According to this Daily Mail article, George Clooney feels he’s being scapegoated over Donald Trump’s triumphant presidential victory last week.
As Toronto enters its Taylor Swift era, experts say crowd safety depends on planning
As Toronto readies for Taylor Swift’s arrival this week, some crowd management and planning experts say additional safety precautions should be taken when tens of thousands of fans fill the city’s downtown core on show nights.
That means being prepared for a sudden shift in crowd dynamics and severe traffic gridlock, despite planned road closures, the experts say.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has resigned over his “untenable” handling of one of the church’s most serious abuse scandals.
Justin Welby’s decision to stand down comes after a petition by some members of the General Synod, the church’s parliament, collected more than 5,000 signatures urging him to leave over his alleged failures to alert the authorities about a barrister’s “abhorrent” abuse of children and young men.
Good. He was way too woke.
Emily Quint says she would never have pursued the prosecution of the man she alleges sexually assaulted her nearly three years ago if she’d known what she’d go through.
“The whole process was horrific,” said Quint. “The way that it ended, my whole world went up in flames.”
A year ago, the sexual assault charge was stayed for an unreasonable delay after the trial failed to wrap before the time limit set in the 2016 Supreme Court decision R. v. Jordan.
A radical feminist movement in which women shun marriage, dating and sex with men is taking hold among young liberal Americans in the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory.
Originating in South Korea and known as 4B, which means “four nos” in Korean, its tenets are: no dating, no sex with men, no marriage and no children.
Other principles include ditching beauty products and avoiding social interactions with men altogether.
Don’t interrupt them.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the federal government is ready to work with the United States as it implements president-elect Donald Trump’s promises to crack down on immigration, but he wants anyone hoping to come to Canada to do so legally.
Ottawa has been under increasing pressure from opposition MPs, the Quebec Premier and immigration lawyers since last week’s U.S. election to respond to concerns that Mr. Trump’s plans to deport millions of people will lead to an influx of asylum seekers coming into Canada. Mr. Miller told The Globe and Mail that any claims that the incoming president’s plans could affect Canada are “speculation.”
A New York judge delayed a Tuesday decision on whether President-elect Trump’s conviction can withstand the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling, following his election victory last week.
Judge Juan Merchan agreed to freeze the case until Nov. 19, newly public court records show, enabling prosecutors to respond to Trump’s demand the case be dismissed entirely now that he is president-elect.
Top Trump White House pick has strong view on Canada’s government. It’s not flattering
The man reportedly tapped for the top international role inside the Trump White House isn’t just predicting the defeat of Canada’s Trudeau government: He’s celebrating it.

Out of all of Donald Trump’s supporters, Derrick Evans has a particular reason to be happy with November’s election results – he hopes the president-elect will give him a pardon for participating in the 6 January riot at the US Capitol.
“A pardon will be life changing,” said Evans, who was a member of the West Virginia legislature when he and at least 2,000 others stormed the Capitol in 2021. It was part of an effort to overturn the results of the US election, inspired by the false belief that it was Trump, not President Joe Biden, who had won.

OTTAWA — One-hundred and eleven organizations are behind Canada’s worrying spike in antisemitism since last October’s Hamas terror attacks, a new report suggests.
And foremost in the report’s conclusions, released last week by Jerusalem-based think tank NGO Monitor, is a worrying lack of financial transparency with Canada’s nonprofits and charities, leading to groups subsisting on money from dubious or even illegal sources.
If it doesn’t include the Liberal Party it’s BS.
Since we're playing blame games today, here's a clip from June 24, 2021 where 3 leaders of @CI2100 argue that Feds should expand economic-class PR pathways to low-skill workers to make it easier for employers to recruit temporary foreign workers without needing to raise wages. pic.twitter.com/IYBWimTasF

The 13 months since October 7 2023 have had a clarifying effect. No more hiding in the murk. Many people with pre-existing moral weakness or susceptibility to disinformation about Israel have since Hamas’s butcherous invasion leaned deeply and proudly into a variety of anti-Jewish positions. Ivy League college campuses, in particular, have shown their true colours. Too many have pioneered a new model of student life as a cesspit of open support for Palestinian jihadist groups.
And they say we’re the crazy ones.
