Carney gov’t committed to Trudeau’s economy killing eco-loon policies
Canada’s new environment minister and Environment and Climate Change officials confirmed that the federal government is standing by the national climate targets previously set under Justin Trudeau.
On several occasions, Environment and Climate Change Minister Julie Dabrusin was asked about whether the current Liberal government was still committed to working toward the near-term targets set under the previous prime minister, particularly the 2035 emissions target.
Canada has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a minimum of 45 per cent below 2005 by that timeline.
Congressional Democrats Release Emails Allegedly Showing Epstein Talking About Trump and One of Epstein’s Victims
‘I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump,’ Epstein allegedly writes in an email to Maxwell in 2011 — years after Epstein had pleaded guilty after having sex with a minor.
Democrats on the House Oversight are not wasting any time releasing key excerpts of the Epstein files, despite having been out of town for the last seven weeks. On Wednesday, the minority on the committee released a trio of emails allegedly showing notorious sex abuser corresponding about his friendship with President Trump and how the president once spent time at Epstein’s home with one of the pedophile’s victims.
In the emails released Wednesday, Epstein is allegedly seen corresponding with his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now serving a 20-year sentence on sex trafficking charges. Mr. Trump is also weighing whether or not to commute Maxwell’s sentence.
LILLEY: Carney’s Liberals have their own internal drama happening
Turns out Pierre Poilievre isn’t the only political leader dealing with drama in their caucus. It seems Mark Carney and the Liberals have their own share.
Carney is dealing with disgruntled environmentalist MPs, including some that might leave the Liberals if he goes too far in the direction of sanity.
Donald Trump says he has ‘obligation’ to sue BBC over speech edit
Donald Trump has said he feels he has “an obligation” to sue the BBC over its editing of one of his speeches, as a deadline looms for the corporation to respond to his billion-dollar legal threat.
The US president accused the broadcaster of having “defrauded the public” with an edition of Panorama last year that spliced together two parts of a speech he made on 6 January 2021 and has given it until Friday to respond.
It is seen as one of the main factors in the shock resignation on Sunday of Tim Davie, the BBC’s director general, and Deborah Turness, the head of BBC News.
Tasha Kheiriddin: Don’t fall for Carney’s ‘Buy Canadian’ fallacy
Protectionists, start your engines. On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled a “Buy Canadian” procurement policy that prioritizes Canadian suppliers for all manner of federal spending, including a second set of national “major projects” he’s announcing on Thursday. “We will build Canadian, by becoming our own best customer,” Carney intoned. Ottawa will allocate nearly $186 million in new funding to the policy, including “streamlined support for Canadian small and medium-sized businesses trying to break into the federal market.”
From tears for Arafat to Death to the IDF’: How BBC’s Israel coverage has gone from bad to worse
In the end, it was revelations concerning the manner in which the BBC’s flagship current affairs program, “Panorama,” spliced together clips of a speech by US President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021, that forced the corporation’s boss and head of news to quit on Sunday.
But director-general Tim Davie and Deborah Turness, the chief executive of BBC News, have been in the firing line for months over allegations of bias — not least because of the national broadcaster’s coverage of antisemitism, the war in Gaza, and Israel more generally.

Can the Conservative caucus please eat a Snickers bar?
Floor-crossing is just about the ultimate political betrayal, and the motivation of the political migrant is almost always self-serving. In the case of Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont, who crossed the floor from the Conservatives to the Liberals last week, it is impossible to infer anything else.
Only about six months have elapsed since the last federal election, during and after which Mr. d’Entremont was happy to echo Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s “negativity,” which he now cites as the reason for his migration to the Liberal benches. He cannot reasonably claim that his constituents are better served by him now sitting with the governing party, because if they wanted to vote for that party, they would have back in April. Neither party has meaningfully changed its approach since spring (with the exception of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s more docile approach to U.S. President Donald Trump), and certainly not enough for Mr. d’Entremont to claim the ground has shifted so much as to justify his defection.
Taliban order women to wear burkas to access hospitals, charity says
The Taliban authorities in Afghanistan have ordered female patients, caretakers and staff to wear a burka – a full Islamic veil – to enter public health facilities in the western city of Herat, medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) says.
MSF said the restrictions came into effect from 5 November.
“These restrictions further impede women’s lives and limit women’s access to health care,” Sarah Chateau, the agency’s programme manager in Afghanistan, told the BBC. She said even those “in need of urgent medical care” had been affected.

Almost half of Britons think immigration is having a negative impact on the UK, survey finds
A summer of protests, marked by flags and fierce debate over asylum accommodation, has laid bare Britain’s deepening tensions.
An exclusive ITV News/Ipsos poll reveals the scale of that division, with 85% of Britons saying the country feels split – and many pointing to immigration as the root cause.
The poll surveyed around 2,000 Britons between October 31 and November 4 this year. Participants were aged between 16 and 75 years old, and were from a wide mix of ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds.
WTF?
Another shooting in Surrey, this one recorded by the offender themselves.
This was an act of terrorism, deliberately filmed to instil fear in our communities.
It’s absolutely unacceptable.

Toronto woman moving after home invasion, upset daughter who called 911 left on hold
Maryam Alavinasab sits at the dining room table in her two-storey home near York Mills Road and Leslie Street and cries, explaining she has barely slept in the past six days.
The mother of two daughters, aged 12 and 18, who moved to Canada from Iran seven years ago says she bought the home two years ago before gutting and re-designing it. The main floor bathroom, she says, even earned her a design award.
