As we honour the brave Canadians who sacrificed everything for our freedom on this Remembrance Day, the controversy surrounding Canada’s ban on Russian players from the World Juniors is heating up. Prime Minister Mark Carney's unwavering commitment to supporting Ukraine and defending democratic values makes Canada a target for desperate moves by Putin. In the United States, Trump is struggling to cope with his Midterm loss, further entrenching himself in polarizing politics by selecting the extremist Miller and scandal-ridden conspiracist Jim Jordan as House Minority Leader for the new Congress. Meanwhile, Ukraine stands firm against the unacceptable terms proposed in the so-called "peace talks," and Dr. Joni Askola from Finland sheds light on the multifaceted threats that loom over Europe, Canada, and our provinces like Alberta and Quebec, which remain susceptible to Putin's divisive tactics.

As we witness Trump sinking deeper into his historic status as a LOSER, he is doubling down on his fascist tendencies by promoting Stephen Miller to Chief of Staff.
