A deal aimed at ending the US government shutdown has passed the Senate, paving the way for the record-breaking impasse to be broken.
After a weekend of negotiations in Washington, a minority of Democrats joined with Republicans and voted in favour of an agreement.
The vote is a procedural first step towards passing a compromise to fund the government since it ran out of money 1 October.
UPDATE MP Carney’s office in NEPEAN!
No phone number
No sign
Not on the building directoryIt is a GHOST OFFICE.
WHY did it take 7 months to “circle back” to the former MP’s office, which taxpayers have been paying the entire time?

The Canadian Forces is counting on public servants to volunteer for military service as it tries to ramp up an army of 300,000 as part of a mobilization plan, according to a defence department directive.
Federal and provincial employees would be given a one-week training course in how to handle firearms, drive trucks and fly drones, according to the directive, signed by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan and defence deputy minister Stefanie Beck on May 30, 2025.

DND expansion plans are wildly unrealistic
Have the senior leaders of the Canadian military lost all connection to reality?
Their unpublicized plan to increase Canada’s military reserves to 400,000 people, as reported by the Citizen’s David Pugliese , is wildly out of synch with their own organization’s recruitment capabilities, the attraction of serving in the armed forces, and the country’s needs.

Elon Musk has taken a keen interest in his Wikipedia page over the years. So have the site’s editors: 4,221 of them have made more than 17,000 changes to his page since 2008.
The billionaire tweeted in 2019: “My wiki is a war zone with a zillion edits. At least it’s obviously not curated! Some day, I should probably write what my fictionalised version of reality is.”
This 30 second clip sums up Britain today.

With one MP already gone to the Liberals, another one resigning, and more rumoured to be leaving the Conservative fold, the rapidly shifting political landscape ahead of Pierre Poilievre’s upcoming leadership review would weaken his position in a vote he was once expected to win with more than 80 per cent support, say Conservative MPs and former senior Conservatives.
“Things are crumbling,” said a senior Conservative in a not-for-attribution interview with The Hill Times. “It will be very hard for him to hang on. We’ll see.”
I think this is more media hype than substance.

The dream of legal weed was supposed to mint millionaires.
Instead, it’s creating bankruptcies.
Across the US, cannabis companies are collapsing under impossible taxes, plunging prices and brutal red tape.
Even celebrities once hyped by the ‘green rush’ – from Jay-Z to Whoopi Goldberg – have seen their plans go up in smoke.

This is a follow-up to my previous investigation into organized crime in the trucking industry — a story that revealed how an undercurrent of labour exploitation and immigration abuse has taken hold of a vital piece of Manitoba’s economy. That story described the hidden networks that profit from human desperation, the corruption of safety systems, and a growing web of shell companies used to launder money and evade taxes.

The Telegraph has published the internal dossier that has plunged the BBC into crisis.
The document, written by former journalist Michael Prescott and sent to the BBC board, exposes a string of incidents that demonstrate serious apparent bias in the corporation’s reporting.
They include evidence that BBC Panorama “doctored” a speech by Donald Trump to make it wrongly appear as though he directly called for violence on the day that his supporters stormed the US Capitol.
Wow.
While talking about nails — by way of eye shadow, boys and her frustrating mother — Brianna Warner confessed to murder.
It was a huge get for Toronto police, one that was months in the making.
While the 18-year-old Warner had emerged as a person of interest in the December 2022 shooting of 20-year-old Jai Parker-Ford, investigators weren’t quite ready to charge her.
She seems all too common a monster.
Get your elbows up, boys. Canada’s back! Mark Carney is going to make Canada Great Again and pull the military up by its bootstraps. Hooah!
Chief of the Defence Staff and weepy DEI-hire General Jennie Carignan signed a directive to increase the size of Canada’s reserve forces from 25,561 to 400,000. For those rubbing their eyes at that number, that is a 16-fold increase.
TODAY, the annual Remembrance Sunday commemoration is held in London to honour the contribution of service personnel and civilians in the two World Wars and successive conflicts. It is a sombre occasion: the military bands stirring, the uniforms and greatcoats immaculate, and the church bells muffled. The crimson poppy wreaths are laid, while thousands of marchers salute the Cenotaph.
