Gavin Newsom’s international globetrotting on the dime of wealthy benefactors has come under the microscope of federal investigators looking into California’s governor.
The US Attorney’s Office issued subpoenas in September requesting about six years of communications around the California State Protocol Foundation, a nonprofit that has paid for Newsom’s travel expenses with privately donated funds instead of taxpayer money, according to a report by the San Francisco Standard.

Canada’s job market continues to stumble, erasing any gains made year-to-date. Statistics Canada’s (StatCan) September Labour Force Survey (LFS) shows a sharp drop in employment. Public sector workers and young adults carried virtually all of the pain.
A businessman called Hitler Mussolini Simeon Flores has been elected the mayor of a remote district in the Peruvian Andes, according to local election data.
The 45-year-old, who shares two of his names with the notorious European dictators, won the race for mayor of Queropalca, in Peru’s central Huánuco region, and will take office on 1 January.
The candidate from the leftwing Ahora Nación party won 229 out of a total of 663 votes in elections on 4 October, according to the national office of electoral processes.
More than half of Canadians are actively avoiding American products as ongoing trade disputes and import bans continue to reshape cross-border shopping habits, according to new national survey data from Abacus Data.
The September poll found that 51 percent of Canadian shoppers avoid U.S. goods when possible. That figure is up from 38 percent recorded in February 2025, when initial U.S. tariff threats first emerged.
Not sure I trust the self-reporting.
When a genocidal terrorist group responsible for some of the worst atrocities in modern history celebrates the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, you know that the committee made the wrong choice.
Jim Fedor booked Oct. 19 off work to make sure he can vote in Alberta’s referendum.
“I’m looking forward to it. Never voted in a referendum like this before, so it’ll be something new,” said Fedor, who stopped at the CBC News pop-up at the Seton library branch in southeast Calgary last week.
“I’m gonna vote Option 1 on the separation question, for Alberta to stay in Canada, and the other nine questions I plan to vote no for each one,” he said. “I’ll get there early, and I’m willing to wait to get in and vote.”
I still remember the CBC’s 911 townhall. It may as well have been chaired by Osama bin Laden.

Much ballyhoo has been made of the memorandum of understanding signed between Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney — affectionately known to many as “Marx Carnage.”
Alberta is bending the knee for the construction of a carbon capture plant in return for pumping oil. What could possibly go wrong?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he has discussed the possibility of an energy ceasefire with Russia with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte but is waiting for more information from the United States.
U.S. President Donald Trump had said in a social media post Sunday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to what he described as an “energy ceasefire” without offering specifics on terms.
Mark Carney has intervened over the potential nationalisation of Thames Water with a warning that it could damage foreign investment in Britain.
Canadian officials are growing increasingly concerned that any decision by Andy Burnham to place Thames Water under state control could result in heavy losses for overseas investors.
Ottawa is thought to have cautioned that any expropriation of privately owned assets without accompanying compensation could jeopardise further investment in the UK economy. Canada’s so-called
Maple Eight pension funds, and its banks have poured tens of billions into airports, ports, the energy sectors, key utilities and property.
So Carney will deny water sovereignty to the English.
No Brookfield but large positions by Canadian pension funds and of course China.
Pavlo Oliynyk, 25, says he joined enemy forces to escape Russian captivity. Before his capture in the Donbas region in 2024, he was a senior lieutenant for Ukraine’s armed forces.
As a prisoner of war (POW), he says he was electrocuted, beaten, and psychologically tortured. So when he received the offer to join the Maksym Kryvonis battalion — named after a famous 17th-century Cossack commander — he accepted.
Oliynyk says he wanted to use this opportunity to reach the front lines, so he could escape to Ukrainian-controlled territory. DW was able to contact Oliynyk through his lawyer.
Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney is calling on Albertans to vote in next week’s referendum on separation in large numbers, and to deliver a decisive result for the federalist side.
“I’m concerned about turnout, because the lower the turnout, the better for the separatist side,” Kenney told CTV Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday. “If turnout is 40 per cent or below, I think they could actually win.”
President Donald Trump on Saturday floated the idea of renaming more bodies of water, following his efforts to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.
“We’ve got the gulf. We’ve got a beautiful lake,” Trump said at a rally in Clarksville, Tennessee. “Now, somebody said, you need a river. … We need a river. We need an ocean.”
OTTAWA – France’s new ambassador to Canada says her country admires the Carney government’s response to “extremely radical” American demands and is calling for swift action to boost Canada’s strategic ties with Europe.
“My mission is very clear. It’s to work toward making France one of Canada’s closest allies in Europe, in each field, in every sector,” French Ambassador Hélène Farnaud-Defromont told The Canadian Press on Friday.
France is an economic and social basket case currently beset by migrant lead civil unrest.
Good choice Carney.
Donald Trump has called for Volodymyr Zelensky to be ousted, saying Ukraine needs a new leader who can end the war with Russia.
Ukrainian strikes on Moscow’s oil refineries provoked a furious response from the US president, who had agreed a deal to buy diesel from Vladimir Putin a day earlier.
Responding to two drone attacks on Saturday, Mr Trump said: “[Zelensky] better damn well stop.
“I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal.”
Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off. https://t.co/NAHK9WW6vQ
