MORE PRAISE FOR TRUMP: Central Asian Leaders Travel to White House, Call Trump: “Great Leader, Statesman Sent by Heaven” and “We Call You President of the World!” (Videos)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/more-praise-trump-central-asian-leaders-travel-white/

On Thursday, several leaders from Central Asia traveled to the White House to meet with President Donald J. Trump, a legendary president, peacemaker, and economist.

The US president and his top staff members met with the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

The meeting focused on deepening U.S.–Central Asian relations, expanding trade partnerships, and strengthening global supply chains for rare earth minerals, an issue central to Trump’s vision of economic independence and strategic dominance.

President Trump opened the summit highlighting his administration’s record-shattering economic achievements, including over $18 trillion in investment and the establishment of “Trump Route,” a trade corridor linking nations across Central Asia to new markets.

Trump emphasized that the route, named in his honor, would promote international peace and prosperity through stronger economic cooperation. Continue…

Cristiano Ronaldo Praises Donald Trump as a Leader Capable of Changing the World in Interview with Piers Morgan After Gifting Him a Jersey with a Message of Peace (Videos)

https://gatewayhispanic.com/2025/11/cristiano-ronaldo-praises-donald-trump-as-leader-capable/

Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has upped the ante by reaffirming his admiration for Donald Trump, describing him as « one of the men who can change the world. «

This forceful statement, delivered in the second part of an exclusive interview with the controversial British journalist Piers Morgan, stands as a conservative bulwark against the leftist tide dominating sports and global culture.

Ronaldo, the first soccer player to achieve billionaire status with an estimated fortune of one billion dollars thanks to his stints at Real Madrid, Manchester United, and now Al-Nassr, not only praised Trump's vision but also posed with Morgan's book Woke is Dead ("Woke is Dead"), an anti-progressive manifesto that denounces the ideological agenda permeating soccer, from forced rainbow flags to censorship on social media.

The trigger for this conversation was a symbolic gesture from June 2025: Ronaldo sent a signed Portugal national team jersey to President Trump, inscribed with the dedication «To President Donald J. Trump. Playing for peace,» delivered by the then-President of the European Council, Portuguese fellow António Costa, during the G7 summit in Canada. Continue…

This is a distressing trend in space exploration.

No matter what our particular feelings about Communist China and their space program, it is worrying news to learn that a Chinese space crew is temporarily stranded at the Tiangong space station.

The astronauts – or rather, taikonauts – have been put in this dangerous situation after space debris struck their return capsule, according to China’s spaceflight agency.

Three Chinese National Scholars at University of Michigan Charged in Plot to Smuggle Biological Materials into the U.S.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/three-chinese-national-scholars-university-michigan-charged-plot/

Three Chinese national research scholars from the University of Michigan have been charged in a federal case involving the illegal smuggling of biological materials into the United States.

According to the Department of Justice, Xu Bai (28), Fengfan Zhang (27), and Zhiyong Zhang (30), all Chinese nationals working in the University of Michigan’s “Shawn Xu Laboratory,” were arrested and formally charged for their roles in the conspiracy.

Federal prosecutors allege that Bai and Fengfan Zhang conspired to smuggle restricted biological materials into the U.S., while Zhiyong Zhang faces charges of making false statements to federal agents during the investigation.

All three were research scholars holding J-1 visas, temporary research visas often used by foreign nationals conducting work at U.S. universities.

The laboratory where the trio worked, led by Dr. Xianzhong “Shawn” Xu, has been engaged in advanced biomedical and neurobiological research.

Federal authorities have not yet disclosed the exact nature of the biological materials involved, but officials emphasized the grave national security implications of the case.

Jubilee in Rome: Pilgrims Honor the 2025th Anniversary of Christ’s Birth in a Post-Christian Europe

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/jubilee-rome-pilgrims-honor-2025th-anniversary-christs-birth/

The wait to enter St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome was more than an hour, with visitors from all over Europe and the world packed shoulder to shoulder between barricades for several blocks.

Once inside the cathedral, the crush of humanity was in some ways even worse, more like entering a rock concert or a stadium during the playoffs. People constantly bumped into one another as they tried to admire the architecture or photograph the artwork.

As uncomfortable as it can be to move at a snail’s pace through a crowd that size, it’s even more frustrating when you have a specific destination in mind.

I knew that if I could get close to the main altar and cut left, I could join the line for one of the hourly Masses.

It took about 30 minutes, but I was grateful to make it. When the security guard finally lifted the velvet rope and ushered us inside, I was surprised to see that about 15% of the seats were empty once Mass began.

Countless thousands entered St. Peter’s to admire its beauty, but only a small percentage stayed to worship.

This scene reflects the spiritual condition of Europe today, a continent drifting away from faith, yet still the historic heart of Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant.

Believers from around the world are descending on Rome for the 2025 Jubilee, marking the 2025th anniversary of Christ’s birth.

While pilgrims fill the Eternal City, liberal leftist policies across Europe continue to restrict Christianity and promote Islam, which is expanding through open borders and unrestrained immigration rather than conversion. Over 30 million pilgrims are expected to visit Rome during the Jubilee, which runs from Christmas Eve 2024 to January 6, 2026.

Yet this outpouring of faith contrasts sharply with Europe’s growing secularism. In France, 33% of people now claim no religious belief; in the Czech Republic, 30%; and in Belgium and the Netherlands, 27%.

Even in Italy, home of the Vatican, 80% of Italians report that they do not regularly attend church. Across the continent, the number of Christians continues to decline.

According to the 2019 Eurobarometer survey, Christianity accounts for just 64% of the EU population, down from 72% in 2012.

Over the past five decades, southern, western, and northern Europe have become less Christian and more secular. Continue…

Associated Press Publishes Absurd Video Targeting Pet Ownership Due to Climate Change Hysteria

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/associated-press-publishes-absurd-video-targeting-pet-ownership/

With everything going on in the world today, The Associated Press — the premier wire service and news institution in the English-speaking world — knows what’s really on your mind: Is Fido’s “carbon pawprint” too big?

In yet another bid to prove that even the most supposedly objective media cannot set priorities that aren’t bad or misplaced, the AP dedicated 32 paragraphs in five sections — along with a video on social media — to the climate change dangers that your furry friend allegedly poses. Because even childless cat ladies are driving us to extinction in ways that don’t involve not having kids, apparently.

“One of the most climate intensive decisions we make is whether to own a pet,” the AP’s Caleigh Wells reported in a piece published Tuesday. Continue…

(VIDEOS) Trump Announces Major Deal with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to Slash Cost of GLP-1 Medications for Diabetes and Obesity – RFK Jr. Says the American Public will Lose 125 MILLION LBS by Next Year

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/video-trump-announces-major-deal-eli-lilly-novo/

President Trump on Thursday announced another deal to cut pharmaceutical costs for Americans with most favored nation (MFN) pricing on popular drugs for diabetes, heart disease, and weight loss, and other conditions.

According to the White House, “The agreement represents a historic reduction in prices for Americans on the two drugs with the highest annual expenditures in the United States, both of which help adults struggling with diabetes, heart disease (Ozempic and Wegovy only), obesity, and other conditions.”

The drugs will be available on TrumpRX.com, a federal government website that will help patients buy drugs directly from pharmaceutical companies without using insurance, at massively discounted prices, in line with what other countries pay for the same drugs.

But Medicare and Medicaid will also cover these drugs with discounted co-pays.

“This is very exciting. Again, we’re bringing drug prices down to levels nobody ever thought was possible. Tremendous cuts, 200%, 300%, 500%, 700%, a little bit more than that,” Trump said while making the announcement earlier this afternoon.

“So today, I’m thrilled to announce that the two world’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, have agreed to offer their most popular GLP-1 weight loss drug— I call it the fat drug, remember— at drastic discounts.” Continue…

Radical Leftist Who Brutally Slaughtered Tourist After He Supposedly Called Her a ‘Racist’ Name WINS City Council Election

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/radical-leftist-who-brutally-slaughtered-tourist-after-he/

A leftist who brutally killed a man years ago has won a local race and will be helping make laws for her city.

As The Maine Wire reported, Angela Walker emerged victorious in Tuesday’s city council elections in Bangor, Maine, alongside Susan Faloon and Daniel Carson.

All three were considered “progressive,” aka far-left candidates.

Walker currently serves as the “peer services coordinator” for the Bangor Area Recovery Network. She is also reportedly in recovery from addiction.

Voters were willing to overlook Walker’s dark past and give her power over them. She was imprisoned after being convicted of manslaughter in 2003 and served 10 years in prison.

Per Maine Wire, here are the details of this horrific crime.

One could argue that Walker got off lightly.

Walker was convicted 23 years ago in the brutal Old Orchard Beach killing of Derek Rogers, a Canadian tourist who had allegedly called her a racist name.

Cops found that Rogers had been severely beaten and then suffocated to death with sand forced down his throat.

His lifeless body was found on the beach on August 1, 2002, in a section of the popular coastal beach town known as Ocean Park.

This is another example of liberal voters rewarding violent-minded politicians. Continue…

The Silent Conquest: When the West Surrenders by Its Own Will (Video)

https://gatewayhispanic.com/video/silent-conquest-when-west-surrenders-its-own-will/

For centuries, Europe resisted with blood and courage the attempts of Islamic expansion. It endured seven hundred years of wars, invasions, and struggles to preserve a civilization built upon Judeo-Christian values, individual freedoms, and national sovereignty. Today, however, that same Europe—and, by extension, the entire Western world—seems to be surrendering without a fight, opening its doors and abandoning its identity under the banner of political correctness and a misguided notion of multiculturalism.

US Government Revokes 80,000 Visas

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/us-government-revokes-80000-visas

The U.S. Department of State said on Nov. 6 that 80,000 visas have been revoked.

President Donald Trump and State Secretary Marco Rubio “will always put the safety and interests of the American people first,” the State Department said in a post on X.

The department said in a follow-up post that visas were revoked for reasons including support for terrorism, “actual terrorism,” criminal activity, public safety threats, and overstays.

The State Department also said that 16,000 visas were revoked in 2025 for driving under the influence of alcohol, 12,000 revoked for assault, and 8,000 revoked for theft. The nonimmigrant visa revocation numbers are from the beginning of this year.

The State Department did not offer more details regarding the revocations. The administration has maintained a conservative stance on approving visas for foreigners and has swiftly canceled visa privileges of temporary residents, including students, based on actions concerning national security.

“The Trump Administration will not hesitate to revoke visas from foreigners who undermine our laws or threaten our national security,” Tommy Pigott, the State Department’s principal deputy spokesperson, said in a Nov. 5 post on X. Continue…

These Are The 20 Most Chilling Insights From Yuri Bezmenov

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/these-are-20-most-chilling-insights-yuri-bezmenov

How the KGB's Playbook Is Destroying the West Today

Yuri Aleksandrovich Bezmenov (1939–1993), also known as Tomas David Schuman, was a Soviet journalist and KGB operative specializing in propaganda and ideological subversion.

Ideological subversion is the process of bending a society’s perception of reality so completely that it destroys itself.

In the Cold War era, few voices pierced the veil of secrecy as profoundly as that of Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector whose chilling exposés on ideological subversion still resonate today. His warnings, drawn from firsthand experience in Soviet active measures, offer blueprints for destroying free societies—not through bombs, invasions or disease, but through the poisons of manipulated ideas and cultural decay.

Here are 20 of Bezmenov’s key insights. Continue…

Four killed in helicopter crash in Russia (VIDEO)

https://www.rt.com/russia/627470-dagestan-helicopter-crash-tourists/

The aircraft collided with a private home in the southern Republic of Dagestan, according to emergency services

At least four people have been killed and three others injured after a Ka-226 helicopter crashed in the Republic of Dagestan in southern Russia, the local health authorities have said.

Initial reports stated that the helicopter was carrying tourists, although TASS later reported it was transporting employees of the local Kizlyar Electromechanical Plant.

The incident happened midday on Friday near the town of Izberbash, located on the shores of the Caspian Sea, TASS reported.

Two of the injured were rushed to a burn-care center in regional capital Makhachkala, with another passenger, whose condition was described as critical, being taken to a hospital in Izberbash, a representative of the health ministry told RT.

The helicopter hit a private home and completely destroyed it, TASS reported, citing the emergency services. There was nobody inside the building at the time of the incident, it added.

Footage from the scene captured a plume of thick black smoke coming from the crash site.

The reasons for the incident are currently being investigated.

According to the 122 Telegram channel, the ill-fated helicopter was privately owned and used for air tours.

The Kamov Ka-226 is a small, Russian-made twin-engine utility helicopter, which can carry up to seven passengers or cargo weighing up to 1.3 tons. It entered service in 2002.

‘Suspicious package’ triggers evacuations and illness at key US airbase

https://www.rt.com/news/627472-us-airbase-suspicious-package/

An unidentified white powder was involved, according to media reports

Several people have fallen ill at a key US airbase that hosts Air Force One after a package reportedly containing unidentified white powder was delivered to the facility.

The incident at Joint Base Andrews (JBA) in Maryland on Thursday prompted an evacuation of two connected buildings, according to officials.

A JBA spokesperson confirmed to the media that “multiple individuals felt ill” after a person opened a “suspicious package” that had been delivered to the base.

As a precaution, the building where the incident occurred was evacuated and cordoned off and the scene was examined by HAZMAT teams, which detected no immediate threat.

Officials have not disclosed the contents of the package. However, CNN has reported, citing two sources familiar with the investigation, that the delivery contained an unidentified white powder and was accompanied by political material. Continue…

Elementary school teacher pleads guilty to child luring and exploitation charges

https://www.rebelnews.com/elementary_school_teacher_pleads_guilty_to_child_luring_and_exploitation_charges

Kelly-Anne Jennings, 41, of Port Hope, pleaded guilty to child luring, producing child pornography, and distributing explicit material to her former Grade 8 students via Snapchat.

A Port Hope elementary school teacher has pleaded guilty to several child exploitation offences involving her former students.

Kelly-Anne Jennings, 41, appeared in a Peterborough courtroom Thursday, where she admitted to six charges, including child luring, making child pornography, and distributing explicit material to a minor.

The charges stem from online communication Jennings had with former Grade 8 students in 2023. The court heard that the exchanges took place over Snapchat and became increasingly inappropriate.

Parents of the victims were present in court as Ontario Court Justice Nathan N. Baker accepted Jennings’ guilty pleas. The Crown confirmed that additional charges, including one count of sexual assault, will be stayed.

A court-ordered publication ban protects the identities of the victims and any details that could identify the school where Jennings taught. Continue…

Cabinet raises debt ceiling to $2.54 trillion

https://www.rebelnews.com/cabinet_raises_debt_ceiling_to_2_54_trillion

Parliament has failed to balance a budget since 2007, when Stephen Harper was prime minister.

The national debt ceiling will be raised for the third time in four years, increasing the borrowing limit by 20% to an unprecedented $2.54 trillion, according to a Department of Finance budget notice.

The Borrowing Authority Act limit is proposed for amendment in the budget document Canada Strong to support the Government of Canada's initiatives for building a new Canadian economy and defending Canada. This represents a $1.373 trillion increase in the debt ceiling since 2021.

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne differentiated additional debt from spending, stating, “There is a difference between spending and investing,” he told the Commons.

Champagne told MPs that Budget 2025 demonstrates the importance of their choices, emphasizing investment and advancement during difficult times.

The 2025/26 Liberal budget, branded as “fiscal strength” despite record deficits, adds a $78 billion deficit, $10 billion more than predicted by the Parliamentary Budget Office. That is a record, notwithstanding the 2020 pandemic year.

Cabinet proposed $321.7 billion in new borrowing by 2030. Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre criticized this, stating federal spending increases national debt by $10 million hourly, calling the government “the most expensive in Canadian history” and noting that all government spending is paid by Canadians.

Parliament hasn't balanced a budget since 2007, as reported by Blacklock’s. The debt ceiling rose from $1.168 trillion in 2020 to $1.83 trillion in 2021. Continue…

Independent journalist Caryma Sa’d warns Toronto police board: 'protesters seem to run the show'

https://www.rebelnews.com/independent_journalist_caryma_sa_d_warns_toronto_police_board_protesters_seem_to_run_the_show

Through her project Protest Mania, Sa’d documents and analyzes protest movements across Canada, preserving the public record through on-the-ground reporting and research.

At Thursday's Toronto Police Services Board meeting, independent journalist Caryma Sa’d delivered a sharp critique of the city’s new Strategic Plan for Policing, warning of a “glaring omission” in addressing the escalating disorder at protests across Toronto.

Sa’d pointed out that while the Toronto Police Service received a $46 million boost to its 2025 net operating budget, it continues to funnel millions into what she described as “babysitting and catering duties” for disruptive protest groups. Continue…

Ottawa targets 'too white' farmers' bank — Farm Credit Canada faces new diversity mandate after spying scandal

https://www.rebelnews.com/ottawa_targets_too_white_farmers_bank_farm_credit_canada_faces_new_diversity_mandate_after_spying_scandal

The same Crown bank that secretly monitored farmers for political dissent during the Freedom Convoy is now under federal review for serving “predominantly older white men.”

The Liberal government is putting Farm Credit Canada (FCC) under the microscope again — this time for being “too white.”

A new federal notice obtained by Blacklock's says Ottawa will amend the Farm Credit Canada Act to ensure the Regina-based Crown bank’s lending practices align with “the changing needs” of “traditionally underrepresented groups” — namely, Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ, and women farmers.

“Farm operators are predominantly older white men,” reads a Department of Finance memo announcing the review. The plan would impose mandatory legislative reviews of FCC’s activities to guarantee they are “responsive” to the “specific needs” of “racialized and LGBTQ” entrepreneurs.

No details were provided about who requested the change or what problem the amendment is meant to solve.

According to Statistics Canada’s 2023 Socioeconomic Snapshot, Canada has 590,710 farmers. The typical farmer is male, over 55, and earns a median household income of $95,142. Only 3.7% identify as “from racialized groups,” and 2.8% as Indigenous.

While roughly 4% of Canadians identify as LGBTQ, Statistics Canada did not record how many farmers fall into that category.

This isn’t the first time FCC’s conduct has raised alarms. In 2022, internal emails obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter revealed that FCC managers were secretly flagging clients who opposed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during the Freedom Convoy protests.

The emails instructed staff to “submit tips” on customers suspected of “support of activity related to the ‘Freedom Convoy’” — effectively blacklisting farmers for political views.

“Any individual or entities found participating in illegal activity under the Act will face appropriate action, including freezing disbursements and terminating business relationships,” one message warned.

Those actions were tied to the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act, which allowed banks to seize assets of Canadians who donated to or joined the peaceful protest.

Ottawa’s latest FCC directive looks less like reform and more like ideological control. After spying on clients for wrongthink, the bank is now being told to make lending decisions based on skin colour and sexual identity.

Farmers should not fear financial punishment for voting the “wrong” way or being part of the “wrong” demographic. If the government insists on politicizing credit, it’s time for accountability.

Canadian senator calls Communist China a ‘partner’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-senator-calls-communist-china-a-partner/

Trudeau-appointed Senator Clément Gignac attended meetings in China earlier this year and said the Communist country should not be considered a rival.

A Canadian senator appointed by former Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Chinese officials directly that their nation is a “partner, not a rival.”

The comments came from Liberal-appointed Senator Clément Gignac, who earlier this year was in China attending meetings at which he “stressed the need to view each other as partners, not rivals,” per a report by the Canada-China Legislative Association.

Gignac, who was appointed by Trudeau in 2021, was part of a $42,853 press junket trip to Beijing and Guangzhou along with Canadian diplomats, who attended to “promote friendship and normalization.”

What is interesting is that Gignac’s trip came only a few days before Carney himself admitted that China poses a threat to Canada’s national security.

Gignac served as a former Québec trade minister and National Bank economist. He met with Hao Ping, vice chair of the Chinese Congress’ foreign affairs committee.

Notes from the meeting state that “Hao Ping expressed regret over recent tensions, citing Canada’s past friendship with China,” adding, “He stressed the need to view each other as partners, not rivals, and called for fair and equal treatment.”

It is stated that Gignac praised China’s supposed” “leadership in clean energy, education and aviation.” Continue…

Prince Andrew. War hero, Queen Elizabeth’s favourite son, the Duke of York. Born into a life of privilege and duty, destined to serve the Crown as a senior member of the Royal Family. But the gilded life masked a very different one in private. A shadow loomed, cast by the Prince’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The world watched as a disastrous television interview turned scandal into catastrophe. It was the beginning of the end for Andrew. It set in motion his downfall. His titles stripped. His reputation.. in ruins.

For the first time in generations, a British Prince has been banished.

This is a detailed documentary timeline of how the King’s brother lost everything.

The extraordinary story of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, whose life of privilege and duty unravelled due to his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the sexual assault allegations by Virginia Giuffre.

This video traces the complete timeline of the scandal, from the initial connections and the explosive 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, through the civil lawsuit, the removal of his military titles, and the final, historic move by King Charles to strip his brother of all remaining royal styles, titles, and honours. It details the public outrage, the “Pizza Express” alibi, the multi-million-dollar out-of-court settlement, and his ultimate exile from public life.

Important update from @ Toronto Police regarding the arrest of multiple protesters who are facing charges in relation to yesterday’s violent incident targeting Jewish

https://breaking-news.ca/important-update-from-toronto-police-regarding-the-arrest-of-multiple-protesters-who-are-facing-charges-in-relation-to-yesterdays-violent-incident-targeting-jewish/

Important update from @TorontoPolice regarding the arrest of multiple protestors who are facing charges in relation to yesterday’s violent incident targeting Jewish @TorontoMet students in downtown Toronto. @LevittMichael

Toronto Police arrested five individuals—Nicole Baiton, Kiah Alexis, Fatimah Mugn i, Chelsea Wu, and Manal Kamran—on charges including forcible entry and assaulting an officer after protesters stormed a private pro-Israel event hosted by Toronto Metropolitan University students, injuring one attendee with broken glass.

The incident highlights escalating campus tensions in Canada amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, with B’nai Brith Canada reporting a 670% surge in antisemitic incidents since October 2023, including 51 violent attacks in 2024 alone.

Levitt’s post, from a prominent Jewish advocacy leader, amplifies police accountability while sparking debates on protest funding and mask laws, reflecting polarized online discourse on free speech versus public safety.

No Date Yet for When Foreign Interference Watchdog Will Be Hired, Public Safety Minister Says

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says it’s still not known when a foreign interference watchdog would be appointed.

“They will be appointed in short order. We are finalizing, and we will bring forward a name to colleagues opposite for feedback,” Anandasangaree told the House of Commons Public Safety Committee on Nov. 6.

Under repeated questioning from Conservative MP Frank Caputo, Anandasangaree said the agency is currently “working towards the appointment” of someone for the position. Caputo said that Canadians expected Anandasangaree to take action on foreign interference, and “you’re the one appearing here, and you won’t even give us a date.”

Anandasangaree had previously said in August that he hoped the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois would have a chance to review the candidates for the foreign interference watchdog before the government named the position ahead of Parliament returning on Sept. 15. Continue…

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux Says He’s Resigning From Parliament

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux says he is resigning from Parliament and vacating his seat as the representative for the Alberta riding of Edmonton Riverbend to spend more time with his family.

Jeneroux said on Nov. 6 that his exact resignation date will be determined later, adding that he'll likely leave in the spring.

The four-term MP’s resignation comes two days after Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont left the Conservative caucus to join the Liberals. Amid rumours that Jeneroux was considering a similar move, his office said on Nov. 5 that there is no truth to the speculations.

Jeneroux announced his resignation as an MP in a statement on Nov. 6, saying that his “focus must turn entirely to my family and to the responsibilities that come with that.”

In another statement posted on Facebook late on Nov. 6, Jeneroux said that there was “no coercion” involved in his departure, and that he is leaving caucus on amicable terms. Continue…

Liberal Government Survives First Budget-Related Confidence Vote

The Liberal government survived its first confidence vote related to its budget bill after a Conservative sub-amendment to the budget failed in the House of Commons.

The vote failed 139 to 198 after the Liberals, Bloc Québécois, NDP, and Green Party voted against a Conservative sub-amendment to a Bloc amendment to the budget bill on Nov. 6 that called for the House of Commons to reject the budget.

A separate vote on the Bloc amendment will happen on Nov. 7. Both votes are confidence ones, meaning that if the Liberal government loses, it could trigger an early election.

While the first amendment to be moved typically would come from the Official Opposition, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre did not present one after a speech responding to the budget on Nov. 5. This led to Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet quickly introducing an amendment to the budget instead. Continue…

Scandium, Graphite Among Critical Minerals Ottawa Plans to Stockpile to Counter Beijing’s Market Dominance

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/scandium-graphite-among-critical-minerals-ottawa-plans-to-stockpile-to-counter-beijings-market-dominance-5941238?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=scandium,-graphite-among-critical-minerals-ottawa-plans-to-stockpile-to-counter-beijing%E2%80%99s-market-dominance-0

Domestic scandium and graphite are among the critical minerals Ottawa plans to stockpile as it moves to secure Canada’s supply chain and support G7 allies amid growing concerns over Beijing’s dominance of the market.

Energy Minister Tim Hodgson announced last week, along with G7 partners, new initiatives to secure critical mineral supply chains and reduce dependencies in a market widely dominated by Beijing. Ottawa said these include stockpiling critical minerals to “further safeguard Canada’s national security and sovereignty,” but did not specify which ones.

Quebec-based Nouveau Monde Graphite, with which Ottawa entered an offtake agreement as part of its recently announced measures, said the deal with the federal government includes the option to stockpile graphite, which is widely used in electric car batteries, solar and wind technologies, and the defence sector. An offtake agreement involves Ottawa buying a set amount of a mine’s production.

“Our agreement provides the capacity to stockpile or to market into domestic markets, depending on the Government’s priorities and directives,” Julie Paquet, the company’s spokesperson, told The Epoch Times.

Greg Frame, senior communications adviser to Hodgson, confirmed to The Globe and Mail that Ottawa plans to stockpile graphite, and that scandium is another critical mineral the government intends to include in its strategy.

He said the scandium will come from part of the output of Rio Tinto, a British-Australian mining and metals company with which Ottawa also recently signed an offtake agreement.

Canada’s labour market recorded an unanticipated increase in jobs in October, marking slight gains for the second month in a row, according to federal data.

The country’s economy saw an increase of 67,000 jobs in October, causing the unemployment rate to fall by two tenths of a percentage point to 6.9 percent, Statistics Canada said in a Nov. 7 report.

October’s employment numbers were primarily attributed to 85,000 new part-time positions, up 2.3 percent since September. Full-time employment decreased by 18,500 positions last month, following 0.6 percent growth in September, StatCan said.

Jobs in the private sector rose 0.5 percent during the same period to mark its first positive shift since June.

BMO chief economist Douglas Porter said the job growth in September and October served to fully reverse the “nasty two-month decline” seen in July and August.

He said while October employment stats are a “welcome result” it wasn’t all good news. Continue…

‘This Is Disgusting’: NS Premier Condemns Judges Asking Court Staff Not to Don Poppy

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is criticizing what he is calling an “order” issued by judges forbidding employees from donning poppies while working in certain court facilities and has vowed to enact legislation, if necessary, to protect the rights of workers who want to wear the Remembrance Day symbol.

Houston said the so-called directive was issued by Nova Scotia judges who consider the poppy to be a political statement. He called it “disgusting” in a lengthy social media post, adding that the “judges who issued this order are wrong.”

“The poppy is not a political statement,” he said in the Nov. 6 post. “It is a symbol of remembrance and respect for the fallen and those who served and continue to serve our country.” Continue…

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has approximately 500 officers handling the removal of more than 32,000 unaccounted-for illegal immigrants, the agency’s president says.

CBSA President Erin O’Gorman testified before a House of Commons public safety committee on Nov. 6, along with Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, to discuss the Liberal government’s Bill C-12, also known as the Strengthening Canada’s Immigration System and Borders Act.

Conservative MP Frank Caputo asked O’Gorman how many CBSA officers are looking for the more than 32,000 absconded illegal immigrants, who O’Gorman previously told the committee there are warrants out for.

“Approximately 500 people are doing removals,” O’Gorman told MPs at the Nov. 6 committee meeting, noting there are 1,000 inland enforcement officers in total who deal with the enforcement of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Continue…

Liberals live to see another day after second confidence vote on budget

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/liberals-expected-to-survive-after-second-confidence-vote-on-budget-today

The minority Liberal government lives to see another day, after Liberals and Conservatives joined forces to crush a Bloc Québécois amendment to the budget on Friday.

The Bloc’s motion called on the House of Commons to reject the government’s budget, which the party says will “hurt Quebec” because it fails to increase provincial health and old age security transfers for seniors aged 65 to 74, and to combat climate change.

Liberals declared that the vote would be considered a matter of confidence, which meant that if it was adopted, the government would fall, and Canadians will be headed to an early election.

The Bloc MPs supported their party’s amendment, as did the NDP and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, for a total of 30 votes. But a sweeping majority of Liberals and Conservatives voted against, bringing the tally of MPs voting against to 307 votes against. Continue…

'Europe Is Persecuting Christians'

Free speech is under serious attack all across Europe. To criticise the sacred cows of the progressive worldview – from transgenderism to immigration and even Islam – is to invite a knock on the door from the thought police. The recent, harrowing trial of a Finnish parliamentarian reveals how it is often Christians who find themselves in the firing line. Päivi Räsänen has spent the past six years fighting a ‘hate speech’ prosecution, simply for quoting passages from the Bible and defending traditional marriage.

Paul Coleman – executive director of Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International – joined Brendan O’Neill on his podcast, The Brendan O’Neill Show, to discuss Räsänen’s case as well as the broader assault on free expression in Europe. What follows is an edited version of that conversation. You can watch the whole thing here. Continue…
