On Monday, the Department of Justice released a handwritten letter from Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. The letter, written months before the attempt, was turned over to authorities by a witness who received it along with other items in a box several months prior.
MPs on the House of Commons foreign affairs committee are expected to resume a contentious debate later this morning on the quickest path for Canada to recognize a Palestinian state.
The text of the motion — first presented to a closed-doors session of the committee last Thursday by Liberal MPs — asks committee members to dedicate four sessions to studying the matter, sources told CBC News last week.
CBC News agreed not to identify the sources as they were not authorized to comment publicly on the matter.
Liberals and the NDP luv the Muslim vote.
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has once again seen strong electoral gains.
In the state election in Brandenburg, which surrounds Germany’s capital, Berlin, the AfD received 29.2% of the vote, almost 6% more than in 2019. However, it finished second to the incumbent Social Democrats (SPD), the party of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and has little prospect of participating in the new state government since all other parties have ruled out forming a coalition that includes the AfD.
That means they will win outright next go round.
The commentariat is obsessed with the federal Liberal loss last week in the once-safe Montreal riding of LaSalle-Émard-Verdun. Few, in contrast, took note of last week’s by-election in the Ontario provincial riding of Bay of Quinte, won by Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives.
Why did Mr. Ford’s PCs win their by-election while Justin Trudeau’s Liberals lost theirs? One reason might be that the Premier obsesses over the needs of suburban, middle-class, car-commuting voters, while Mr. Trudeau has other priorities.

As Sean Azzariti tells it, queueing in the snow outside a cannabis dispensary in Denver was the end of a long road from Iraq.
The former marine had been in charge of base security at al-Qa’im and al-Asad — “constantly mortared, constantly being shot at” — causing post-traumatic stress disorder that a 13-pill cocktail of stimulants, tranquillisers and antidepressants had done little to assuage.
Justin Trudeau’s interview on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” began with the expected jokes about bacon and Canadians saying sorry a lot, but the prime minister acknowledged it’s “a really tough time” in the country when the host asked about an expected confidence vote in Parliament this week.
“People are hurting. People are having trouble paying for groceries, paying for rent, filling up the tank,” Trudeau said during the CBS program Monday in New York, where he has been meeting with world leaders attending the United Nations General Assembly.
Trudeau admitted there’s frustration. He said the housing crisis “is a little sharper” in Canada than it is in the U.S. And even though he said Canada’s economy is performing better on a “macro” level than its southern neighbour’s, people don’t feel it when they’re at the checkout.
‘Lacks self awareness’ doesn’t cut it.
This entire scripted interview was campaign propaganda. Colbert calling Pierre “Canada’s Trump” any Conservatives as Far-right & making it like Trudeau is fighting this imaginary Far-Right was abhorrent. pic.twitter.com/PY4FhEgUEn

Police were attacked and their vehicles damaged over the weekend as officers worked to disperse large crowds that had gathered at multiple illegal car meetups and street races at locations throughout Philadelphia, Pennsylvania late Saturday into early Sunday.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) should investigate how some students on a recent school field trip ended up at a rally(opens in a new tab) where pro-Palestinian slogans were shouted.
“It’s disgraceful… [The students] should be in the classroom learning about reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, the whole shebang, but instead, the TDSB and these teachers want to bring them down to a rally, a Palestinian rally, and it’s ridiculous,” Ford said at an unrelated news conference on Monday.
Albania’s government is set to grant sovereignty to the Tirana-based Bektashi Muslims, an Islamic Sufi order, in the hope of promoting a moderate form of Islam. If plans are seen through, the “Sovereign State of the Bektashi Order” would become the smallest state in the world, just a quarter of the size of Vatican City.
Former Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole told the Foreign Interference Commission about a suspected influence attempt that involved being repeatedly approached by a “flirtatious” Chinese woman.
O’Toole recounted two incidents he believes may have involved foreign interference, according to a summary of interviews with commission counsel conducted in March and released on Sept. 18, which was first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.
Azam Ishmael, the Liberal Party’s national director, testified that he did not know whether Chinese Communist Party agents played a role in helping elect a Liberal MP in 2019.
Blacklock’s Reporter says his remarks came during an intense questioning session at the Commission on Foreign Interference, where Ishmael repeatedly stated, “I don’t know” when asked if foreign interference had impacted the election outcome.
Kamala Harris and ProPublica are lying to you about why Amber Nicole Thurman died.
It takes a species of chutzpah rarely found outside of liberal and progressive politics to blame the harm done by your own policies on the people who oppose them. But that’s exactly what Kamala Harris and other pro-abortion politicians and journalists are doing right now with the deaths of Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller. Both women died of complications after taking the abortion pill — and, worse, taking it without the medical supervision that was required by the FDA until the Obama and Biden-Harris administrations stripped away those safeguards. In Miller’s case, the pill was shipped by mail in violation of a federal statute that the Biden-Harris administration refuses to enforce.
