VICTORIA — British Columbia’s election agency says it has discovered that a ballot box containing 861 votes wasn’t counted in the recent provincial election, as well as other mistakes, including 14 votes going unreported in a crucial riding narrowly won by the NDP.
Elections BC says omission of the ballot box did not affect the result in Prince George-Mackenzie, while the unreported votes in Surrey-Guildford were discovered last week during preparations for a judicial recount in the riding, where Garry Begg’s 27-vote victory propelled the New Democrats to a one-seat majority government.

I don’t know which candidate will ultimately be declared the winner. We all have our suspicions, guesses, fears, nightmares, fantasies, and expectations, but with so many variables at play, it is impossible to KNOW what will happen over the next few hours, days, weeks, or, God forbid, months.
OTTAWA — Canada’s top court will not reconsider pleas from four Canadian men detained in Syria for a hearing that could open a path to their freedom.
Last year the Supreme Court of Canada declined to hear the men’s challenge of a Federal Court of Appeal ruling that said Ottawa is not obligated under the law to repatriate them.
In a fresh notice filed with the court in March, lawyers for the men said exceedingly rare circumstances warranted another look at the application for leave to appeal.
A letter to the lawyers, dated last Friday, says the motion for reconsideration cannot be accepted for filing, leaving no further remedies in the top court.
Google has been accused by Ukrainian defence chiefs of accidentally revealing the location of key military positions following an update to its Maps tool.
Moscow had already started “actively distributing” the images for the benefit of Russian forces, said Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s counter-disinformation unit at the National Security Council.
Lt Kovalenko expressed anger at what he viewed as the tech giant’s irresponsibility.
Peel police have ordered a large crowd gathered for a demonstration outside a Hindu temple in Brampton to disperse after officers observed weapons.
In a post on social media Monday evening, police said the demonstration on The Gore Road near Tyler Avenue had been declared an “unlawful assembly” due to the presence of weapons within the crowd, and as a result, the Public Order Unit had been deployed to clear the area.
“All individuals are to disperse immediately or face arrest,” police added.

A new cap on emissions in Canada’s oil and gas sector could eliminate over 112,000 jobs by 2040, with minimal environmental benefits, according to an analysis by the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI).
The think tank argues that the federal measure, set to reduce emissions by 35% from 2019 levels, will weaken the economy while having little impact on global oil demand.
Derogatory labels highlight the cultural and socioeconomic divide between elite politicians and many Americans, particularly Trump supporters, who feel disrespected by these terms and policies.
Who actually are the “garbage” people?
Are they one and the same with Joe Biden’s “semi-fascists,” “chumps,” and “dregs of society?”
Or Barack Obama’s “clingers?”
Do they include Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” and “irredeemables?”
LANCASTER, Penn.— Former President Donald Trump made a joke about reporters and the attempts on his life as he commented on the level of security at his Lancaster, Pennsylvania, rally on Sunday, and in response media outlets worked themselves into hysterics, claiming he wished violence on the press.
Roughly 3,000 people woke before dawn, braved chilly November temperatures, and stood in line for hours to attend the 10 a.m. Trump visit at the Lancaster County Airport; the first of three campaign stops on his Sunday calendar.
In 2005, the Supreme Court’s Heller decision, which for the first time in American history acknowledged the Second Amendment recognizes the unalienable, individual right to keep and bear arms, was three years into the future. Anti-Liberty/gun cracktivists were pushing their latest strategy: suing gun makers for the third-party acts of people about who they had no knowledge and over who they had no control for misuse of their lawful products.
Brace yourself.
We’re right on the cusp of – yes, it’s true and not just a hyperbolic cliché – the most consequential election of our time. What can you expect on November 5th – and then beyond?
The short answer is: expect the unexpected, which sounds like another cliché as well as a waffling response, but the only thing we can be sure of is that from here through Inauguration Day and beyond, chaos is going to be the order of the day.
The efforts of Reform UK’s leadership to professionalise their party have hit a major stumbling block: dissenters within who have expressed sympathy for Tommy Robinson and his supporters.
Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage is no stranger to condemning Robinson, who founded the English Defence League (EDL) in my hometown of Luton in response to the notorious anti-military “Butchers of Basra” demonstrations in 2009. Under leader Gerard Batten, Farage resigned from the UK Independence Party (UKIP), citing the leadership’s “obsession” with Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) and “fixation with the issue of Islam”.
