Pushing, yelling from Conservative leadership ‘sealed the deal’ on defection: d’Entremont | CBC News Nova Scotia MP Chris d’Entremont says pushing and yelling from Conservative Party leadership ‘sealed the deal’ on his choice to cross the floor to the Liberals earlier this week.

“After d’Entremont’s musings over a possible defection were reported by Politico on Tuesday, the MP says Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer and party whip Chris Warkentin “barged” into his office, pushed his assistant aside and yelled at him about “how much of a snake” he was.”

CBC headline: O Canada! Summer tourism numbers hit all-time high

This summer, Canada’s tourism sector did more business than ever before — by welcoming the world and being our own best customer. 
 
More good news: we just renewed the Canada Strong Pass for the holidays and summer 2026 — so it’s more affordable to explore our incredible country.

The Gospel of Professional Christian Mike Johnson:

NO FOOD FOR YOU: The Trump administration tells states to “immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025"

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

After 6 decades of being a Toronto sports fan I've learned not to get too high or low.
Having said that I wish to say thank you to the #BlueJays for the amazing fun ride they took us on.
They were a team to a man impossible to not like

Soon there will be no arms length checks and balances on this govt…

Just a reminder to all Albertans: we already cannot staff our large hospitals with Ultrasound Technicians to provide safe and timely care for all kinds of afterhours emergencies.

It is corruption! All done with a folksy attitude to try and fool everyone.

The Real Target of Trump’s War on Drug Boats The Administration has blown up seven vessels in the Caribbean in recent weeks, but the President has been pushing for more dramatic military action in Latin America since his first term.

Valuable reporting here. I think the key thing is the use of Venezuela to accustom American armed forces to lawless murder. The goal then is to get them to do the same thing inside the US.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

The first 5 national projects brought in $60 billion in private investment.
Can't wait to see how much the next 5 bring.

The Blue Jays win Game 4 to even up the ALCS at 2-2! 🔥

A typhoon hit the west coast of Alaska and several homes and communities have been washed out. Most of the communities are indigenous, so…no press coverage.

They also can’t count on FEMA.

Sad and ridiculous.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Canada’s new government is starting Automatic Federal Benefits. We’re going to pre-file taxes for up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians, so they get the benefits they are entitled to — money that would otherwise be left unclaimed.

For you that are complaining - grow up and get it through whatever is left of your brain - this is his job - To Protect Canadians!

This is not easy and are hostile negations.

Canadian jobs on are the line.

Canada is on the line.

In the aftermath of Jane Goodall’s passing, @keriannmcgoogan.bsky.social can feel only immense gratitude—not just for Goodall’s scientific contributions but for the way she inspired her and countless other women to believe in their ability to make change. thewalrus.ca/jane-goodall/

Montreal broke a heat record for October yesterday Montreal broke a heat record for the month of October yesterday, with a high temperature of 29.9 degrees Celsius.

FFS!!!! While Ford is talking tough about protecting Ontario from Trump he took 100M of our hard earned tax dollars and give them to his close friends’ lobbying firms. This is more than corruption it’s Trump level grifting. More on Friday’s OShow Scandal Panel 🤬🤬🤬

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.
