A New York judge has delayed former President Donald Trump’s sentencing on felony criminal charges until Nov. 26.
“This is not a decision this Court makes lightly but it is the decision which in this Court’s view, best advances the interests of justice,” Judge Juan Merchan wrote in the decision handed down Friday.

OTTAWA — Jagmeet Singh brought a message of hope Thursday in his first speech following the NDP’s exit from its supply and confidence deal with the minority Liberals, who portrayed his move as a bow to Conservative wishes.
New Democrats are attempting to paint themselves as a legitimate alternative to the Liberals and Conservatives ahead of the next election, but Singh acknowledged one his party’s biggest challenges will be persuading Canadians it can actually form government.
“Like many of you, all my life I have been told, it can’t be done. Cynics will say: Canada has never had an NDP government, it’s not going to happen,” Singh said in a campaign-style address.
A top Department of Justice spokesman in New York was caught on a hidden camera ripping Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his recent prosecution of former President Donald Trump — accusing Bragg of conducting “lawfare” just to further his own political ambitions.
Nicholas Biase, chief spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office, was secretly recorded tearing into the progressive prosecutor during a recent conversation with a so-called undercover operative from conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club.”

‘This is a significant change’: How Liberals are reacting to the resignation of their party’s campaign director
OTTAWA—Trailing in the polls and suddenly facing the prospect of an early federal election, many Liberals say there is a welcome chance for renewal now that the governing party’s national campaign director is leaving his post.
Jeremy Broadhurst, a veteran strategist who was set to quarterback the Liberals’ election campaign after serving as a top adviser in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government, announced Thursday that he is stepping down from his party role on Sept. 30.
As I try to understand public opinion in yet another presidential election year with President Trump as the Republican nominee, I see an anomaly.
On one hand, the polls look very much like the 2020 and 2016 election results. Trump trails Vice President Harris by 1.9 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls, for instance.
I don’t have the impression people want to vote for Harris, especially not just because she’s a brown skinned woman.
It is obvious that the Deep State machine that put a senile Biden in the White House is busy gluing a Potemkin Kamala together.
The social media accounts of two of Canada’s most vocal far-right pundits have fallen unusually silent after U.S. officials accused them of being collaborators of a covert Russian propaganda campaign.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment against two Russian nationals, accusing them of setting up a conservative media outlet as a front for pro-Kremlin propaganda.
True thing: I never heard of Lauren Chen or Tenet media before this story broke.
All of the other “right wing influencers” in Tenet’s stable have issued statements claiming to have been duped by Chen and her husband.
That Southern has not issued a public statement or responded to a CBC request for comment does not imply complicity as CBC hopes.
Four days after former President Donald Trump came inches from death during a campaign rally, federal investigators interviewed a man charged in an Iran-backed plot to potentially assassinate the 45th president or two of his political rivals — President Biden or former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, according to an FBI document made public Thursday.
Asif Merchant, 46, a Pakistani man charged in the scheme, recounted his dealings with handler Mehardad Yousef, according to a proffer agreement released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who obtained it from law enforcement whistleblowers.
A suspended Labour councillor has pleaded not guilty to encouraging violent disorder while addressing a crowd during an anti-racism demonstration in east London.
Ricky Jones, 57, allegedly committed the offence during a speech to a gathering that was organised in response to the nationwide violent disorder, in Hoe Street, Walthamstow, on 7 August.
A video emerged after the protest in which he appeared to call for far-right protesters’ throats to be “cut” during the demonstration. Jones was charged by police with encouraging violent disorder two days later.
He claims he didn’t know that was a bad thing to say.

Two Canadian residents are facing 36 human trafficking-related charges following a 10-month interprovincial investigation that started in eastern Ontario last fall.
Reports of suspected human trafficking in eastern Ontario last September led to the launch of “Project Nebula” by a joint police task force known as the Provincial Human Trafficking Intelligence-led Joint Forces Strategy, police said in a press release.
No names released. Of course.
From January 1, 2025 the Dutch government will end payments to failed asylum seekers, with all national government funding of the National Aliens Facility (LVV) to cease next year.

Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) said two people were injured during an incident at a Fortinos’ grocery store at 2515 Appleby Line yesterday (Sept. 4) at around 2 p.m.
“We responded to what was a theft, and the person responsible produced an edged weapon or knife,” HRPS Staff Sgt. Peter Bishop said. “Other members of the public intervened prior to police arriving. I believe there was a minor injury that occurred when the citizens went to intervene. There was another party who had intervened who also received a minor injury.”

Donald Trump has said he will hire Elon Musk to save the US money by cutting government costs if he wins the November election.
Mr Musk, who runs Tesla and SpaceX, revealed in August that he had suggested the idea of a commission to Mr Trump and said that he would be interested in serving on it.
During a speech on Thursday to the New York Economic Club, Mr Trump said: “At the suggestion of Elon Musk… I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms.

There was likely no New Democrat more relieved to learn that federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh had ripped up his deal with Justin Trudeau than Saskatchewan’s NDP Leader Carla Beck.
Beck is in a tough election fight this fall, trying to break the hold on power that the conservative Saskatchewan Party has held on that province since 2007.
Singh is very nearly as toxic as Trudeau and that state will not be mitigated with time and forgetting.
