Whether Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget is passed by the House of Commons on Monday or defeated – which would prompt another election and yet another distraction from Canada’s affordability crisis – it won’t make any difference to financially struggling Canadians.

Denmark’s drive to conscript teenage girls: ‘We’re pretty scared’
Along with TikTok videos, weekend plans and history classes, there is another topic of conversation that Signe Le Fevre, 17, from Hobro in northern Denmark, discusses with her friends: whether they will soon be forced to join the army.
“Because that’s apparently a normal thing to talk about now as a teenage girl in Denmark,” Le Fevre says. “I turn 18 in February and it is a worry. Not many of us have a good feeling about it and are actually pretty scared to be selected — including me.”
Todd Howard: A message to those who injured my Jewish daughter in TMU attack
My children are Jewish. Since the October 7, 2023 attack on the Nova Musical Festival, my eldest child has twice been violently attacked in Toronto, in effect, as a result of being born Jewish. The most recent violence perpetrated upon my daughter saw her hospitalized. I speak of the Nov. 5 attack by masked protesters on the attendees of a private event in downtown Toronto where Israeli Defense Forces soldiers were scheduled to speak.
One thing about linking to MSN is the open comment thread on articles. The future is ugly.
On Oct 7, 2023, terrorists launched a surprise attack on innocent, unsuspecting victims. When Israel rightly clapped back, defending itself & its people, the terrorists acted like they were the victims.

Border czar Tom Homan blasts Catholic bishops over deportations
White House border czar Tom Homan criticized the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on Friday after they issued a statement earlier this week opposing “the indiscriminate mass deportation of people.”
“The Catholic Church is wrong,” Homan told reporters at the White House. “I’m a lifelong Catholic, but I’m saying it not only as a border czar, but I’m also saying this as a Catholic,” he added.
There’s a reason Mark Carney isn’t talking to Donald Trump
OTTAWA—Prime Minister Mark Carney and his team are so over it.
From scampering in search of meetings with President Donald Trump and top U.S. aides all spring, summer and early fall — including the PM travelling twice to Washington and overseas to Egypt where he hailed Trump’s dealmaking — to now shrugging off the current suspension of trade talks, Carney is taking a different tack to Trump. And to the politics of a minority Parliament.
Not negotiating is the new black.

Migrant accused of sex assault claims he would be attacked if deported
A Pakistani migrant accused of sex assault in Britain claims that he would be attacked if deported to his home country.
The unnamed asylum seeker argued that people in Pakistan could target him because of sex offence allegations levelled against him in the UK.
Though his claim for international protection in Britain was initially dismissed, he has now won an appeal as an upper immigration tribunal ruled there had been mistakes in the original decision. He will have his case reheard.

A muted COP30 belies declining Western fortunes in a changing world
The COP30 climate conference got under way this week in Brazil under something of a cloud. Boycotted by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has called climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world,” it’s attracted less than half the attendees of the one two years ago. Whether pressured by Washington, or seizing licence from it, many countries, Canada among them, have backpedalled on their climate policies as politicians who say we can’t afford the luxury of solving climate change gain influence.
‘You talk about the UK, it’s one of the worst in the world. They believe, this nonsense, this fiction.’

Belgium Admits Gaza Arrivals Wearing Pro-Hamas Jihadist Symbols
Belgium’s ongoing evacuation of people from the Gaza Strip has triggered a political storm after footage emerged of two young boys arriving at Ostend Airport wearing black sweatshirts printed with large images of an M16 rifle.
The pair was among 75 Palestinians evacuated at the end of October, part of a wider humanitarian operation that has brought around 850 people to Belgium since 2023.
The incident has sparked renewed debate over screening procedures for arrivals from conflict zones.

Is Mark Carney’s budget a Progressive Conservative budget?
Attempting perhaps to turn a story about his own leadership into a story about whether the Canadian news media have unfairly focused on dissent within the Conservative caucus, Pierre Poilievre challenged reporters on Wednesday to pay as much attention to the recent criticism levelled against the federal government’s budget by Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith.
Of course, that Erskine-Smith might deviate from the Liberal government’s official line is hardly surprising at this point. The left-leaning Liberal backbencher has spent much of the past decade displaying a willingness to go his own way, so much so that many members of the parliamentary press gallery probably no longer consider it newsworthy when he does.

On the beach where Britons cross the Channel to shout at migrants
The voices are quiet at first and then loud all at once. On the vast empty beach of Gravelines in northern France, as an orange morning sun rips through grey clouds, two men prowl the dunes. In a few minutes they cross the beach, filming everything on a GoPro, iPhones in hand, stopping occasionally to pick at coats, trainers, sweatshirts, and empty teargas canisters that litter the sand.
Danny Thomas from Portsmouth and Ryan Bridge from Birmingham are filming content for their Instagram pages, one of which is “Raise the Colours”, the account behind this summer’s surge in Union Jacks, of which Bridge is a co-founder.
