A disquieting reality is sinking in for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s caucus: It’s just not working anymore.
It’s a case those Members of Parliament have been making more and more pointedly behind closed doors. It’s a case voters have now made in Toronto and Montreal. And yet the prime minister and his advisers seem convinced that they don’t need to win, because Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will lose.
After Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ arrest in New York City Tuesday, some of Hollywood’s biggest stars have weighed in. Others, including former and current friends of Combs, have remained silent out of “fear,” according to an expert.

VANCOUVER – Three RCMP members from a Metro Vancouver detachment could be fired over alleged “atrocious,” “racist” and “horrible” behaviour detailed by a fellow officer, including text chats that bragged about “Tasering unarmed black people,” court documents say.
A schedule from the RCMP shows Constables Philip Dick, Ian Solven and Mersad Mesbah are slated to appear next February for code of conduct hearings over allegations including discrimination, harassment and discrediting the police force.
None of the allegations have been proven.
Jostled by others on a packed commuter train, or crowding into a noisy pub, it’s easy to forget that recent inflection point when the world pressed pause on normal life. It is scarcely four and a half years since the UK Government, along with others globally, imposed the first national lockdown to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. But, in some ways, the trauma of that time was swiftly forgotten. We moved on with relief, and shudder today at those distant, bewildering memories of social distancing.

Thousands lined up early on Saturday in Munich as they waited for the world’s most famous beer festival to begin for the 189th time.
Visitors to the attractions faced extra security in the wake of a deadly knife attack in the city of Solingen in western Germany in August.
Although the venue opened at 9 a.m. local time, beer lovers faced a three-hour wait before Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter officially launched the two-week-long event by inserting a tap into the first keg.
Canada’s Jewish community is condemning an offer from the Palestinian Authority to teach its curriculum to children who recently arrived in Canada from Gaza, calling it “unacceptable” and “blatantly inappropriate.”

On Wednesday, secondary students from the Toronto District School Board were taken on a field trip to the Grassy Narrows River Run, near Kenora, Ont. The event was communicated to parents as an educational opportunity for the students to learn about the issue of mercury contamination affecting the First Nation. The permission slip sent home stated that, “while at the event, students will not be participating in the rally itself; instead, they will observe and learn from the presentations and discussions.”
First came a campaign of online calls to breach the border en masse. Then, days later, hundreds of young men swept towards the razor-wire fences that separate a Spanish territory from Morocco.
The security forces were waiting. Fnideq, the Moroccan town that abuts Spain’s tiny north African city of Ceuta, became the scene of beatings, clashes with police and mass arrests as the authorities drove them back.
“It was like a battle,” said Ibrahim, 18, who was among those trying to smash through the border on Sunday. “Some people behind us on a hill were throwing stones at the police at the crossing. When we moved and tried to break through at a different point, [the police] charged at us and chased us away.”
