“This is the most uphill of all uphill struggles, trying to break the two-party duopoly in Canada,” admits Dominic Cardy, newly crowned leader of the Canadian Future Party. The new party aims to occupy what it sees as the middle ground in Canadian politics, between Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives. Energized by the party’s recent and inaugural national convention in Ottawa attended by 112 enthusiastic souls, and excited to be bringing a brand-new political party to voters in a much-anticipated federal election, Dominic is pitching the Canadian Future Party as a political home for moderate centrist Canadians exhausted by polarized politics. I am skeptical, of the need for the party, of its strategy and of their chances. “It’s the mushy middle, Dominic,” I tell him. “Didn’t the U.S. election teach you anything? Searching for the middle ground in politics is a fool’s errand.” In Alberta, I remind him, proponents of the Alberta Party, a centrist provincial party — likewise appealing to voters weary of angry, divisive politics — couldn’t gain a firm toehold, even with star candidates. At 54, Dominic is no fool. He’s whipped up a lot of political change, most notably, bringing the NDP back to life in New Brunswick a decade ago, even recruiting a slate of NDP candidates that included several prominent former Conservatives and Liberal politicians. In 2017, Dominic turned his back on the NDP to join Blaine Higgs’s PCs, as chief of staff and ultimately as an MLA and minister, successfully running as a PC candidate in New Brunswick’s 2018 and 2020 provincial elections. In 2022, Dominic resigned as Higgs’s minister of education and early childhood education, and was kicked out of the PC caucus. He didn’t run in the October 2024 New Brunswick election that Higgs lost to Susan Holt’s Liberals. He doesn’t take credit for Higgs’s loss: “People in New Brunswick take credit for that,” he shrugs, “I realized that change needed to happen earlier than some folks.” People have labelled Dominic a malcontent, but I’d call him principled. It’s no easy thing to sit as an independent (I know from experience) and when you track this guy’s choices — supporting the proposed Energy East pipeline and opposing the Leap Manifesto and its ban on hydrocarbons as a card-carrying New Democrat; spearheading the removal of the Confucius Institute from New Brunswick’s schools as the Tory education minister; getting arrested for disturbing the peace in Toronto this July for chanting “Free Palestine from Hamas” at an anti-Israel protest — there’s a pattern of risk-taking that’s not typical of political actors. When we meet on Zoom, Dominic is cooling his heels at a hotel in Toronto, disgruntled that Air Canada has cancelled his scheduled flight home to New Brunswick. As leader of the Canadian Future Party, he must decide where to run. “I’ve got good recognition in Atlantic Canada,” he shares, “and a good base there. The problem is that if you’re Canadian and live anywhere outside of the centre of the country, as you know, Air Canada is not your friend.” All to mean, he plans to run in either Fredericton or Ottawa. The timing of the next federal election is the subject of much speculation, by party insiders and talking heads. For a new party, this timing is pivotal; riding associations have yet to be set up and candidates vetted. Dominic says he’s asked his party to be ready for an election from March 2025 onwards. “We’ve got to be ready to build a machine to see what happens if lightning strikes and the power turns on,” Dominic declares. “Ultimately, if Canadians want this party, and if we have good candidates, and we have the chance to send a team to Ottawa, then I want those folks to be ready to hit the ground running.” It’s an ambitious plan, for a brand new party. I ask him: Has the failure of the Democrats in the U.S. hardened Trudeau’s resolve to stay put? “It wouldn’t surprise me,” Dominic responds, “I mean, he is, if nothing else, the Joe Biden of Canada, and I do not mean that particularly as a compliment.” Dominic’s even more scathing of the NDP leader: “I don’t know how Mr. Singh is able to persist in his job after the humiliation of doing the big divorce announcement, and then announcing, ‘We might be divorced, but we’re still going to sleep together,’” he chuckles. “I would guess the NDP would like to reassert some vague form of autonomy,” he speculates, “given the position they’ve put themselves in, and perhaps we go for one (an election) in the spring.” Dressed in a black suit jacket and black, collarless shirt, blonde stubble on his chin, Dominic projects a faintly clerical vibe. But he’s not preachy. I ask about the pin on his lapel, bearing the flags of Canada and Ukraine. “When the war started,” he says, “I took off my MLA pin and put on a Ukraine pin and said I’d wear it every day until the war was ended. It’s been on for three years nearly...so hopefully not much longer.” Dominic’s travelled to Ukraine, a couple of times, he says, and adds, “New Brunswick was the only province that gave money directly to the Ukrainian armed forces.” He was the cabinet minister who brought that proposal forward. Dominic’s career has been defined by that kind of gesture. He argues voters are looking for a bold kind of middle. “The key, to me, for the new party success ... is for us not to be mushy,” Dominic asserts. “I’m talking about a party that is extremely aggressive and hard-edged. When I talked about the Israel-Palestinian conflict, I’m not sitting here talking about arguing back and forth about UN resolutions. I went out and got arrested in the streets of Toronto saying it is unacceptable for a terrorist organization to be able to rally freely while people espousing the official position of the government of Canada are arrested.” And yet, what the Canadian Future Party is selling is arguably stability — perhaps even a throwback. “Success is, five and then 10 years down the road, my country’s still looking somewhat like it did, say, in 2014 or ’15,” Dominic asserts. “A liberal, open, democratic society with rights protected despite the fact the world has become ever more chaotic and difficult and dangerous.” Dominic says he’s a realist, and evidence-based; he accepts the chances of this project succeeding are small. But he believes he’s answering a clarion call for an alternative political party that is fiscally disciplined and socially liberal. A September 2024 Angus Reid poll indicated one-third of Canadians saw themselves as political “orphans.” “If people don’t want this party, they’ve got a democratic choice to say they don’t,” Dominic concludes, “and I can go and find something else to do with my time.” Our website is the place for the latest breaking news, exclusive scoops, longreads and provocative commentary.

ITV viewers have spoken out in defence of two celebrities on I'm A Celeb after claims a recent challenge was 'fixed' against them. WAG Coleen Rooney and radio DJ Melvin Odoom were partnered together against two other celebrity couples on I'm A Celebrity. Tulisa and Barry McGuigan teamed up as the blue team, with GK Barry and Oti Mabuse in orange facing Coleen and Melvin on the pink team. Remaining housemates were also divided up amongst the three teams, and watched the Bushtucker Trial from a clearing. During the trial viewers at home noticed something which appeared to be unfair, as Coleen and Melvin had the odds stacked against them. As each pair had to reach up to collect tokens as insects and things were dropped on them, Melvin and Coleen who are shorter struggled to reach. More on I'm A Celeb One viewer wrote on X: " #ImACeleb well dodgy, the cage above Colleen and Melvin was covered in guts that didn’t fall through the holes while the others were bare and easy to get coins across ." Another shared: " gutted for Coleen and Melvin. height was not on their side ". " That trial was not fair on Coleen and Melvin! They are much shorter than other teams. So not fair ," said a third. The challenge came after fans thought they had spotted Coleen's true feelings about one celebrity camp mate when the teams were announced. Most read in News TV Coleen joined forces with Loose Women star Jane Moore and radio DJ Dean McCullough , with Coleen appearing to be annoyed at being on a team with Dean. Before the challenge, Coleen had already predicted the teams would be divided as she predicted: "I think we might be put into teams, so team Alan, team Danny and team Dean ." Coleen appeared to be less than impressed that she was forced to be alongside Wagatha Christie superfan Dean, and viewers were quick to spot it. One viewer wrote on social media: "Coleen is fuming to be on deans team." Another joked: "Coleen fuming she's on deans team lollll." Others pointed out the pink team wasn’t likely to perform the best as one viewer pointed out: “My heart goes out to poor Coleen what a team to be saddled with, Dean and Jane!" Another thought the same as they shared: "The two most annoying campmates, Jane and Dean on the same team... sorry to Melvin and Coleen... but I'm not rooting for pink team." I'm A Celebrity airs every day at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX .
At the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor addressed the criticism surrounding his last film Animal . Acknowledging the concerns about the movie's glorification of violence, Ranbir emphasised the crucial role of filmmakers in creating positive cinematic experiences. He highlighted the responsibility of actors to produce films that have a beneficial impact on society. To note, recently, Javed Akhtar slammed Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal and said that if society appreciates this work, then the problem lies with the society.

Ranbir Kapoor on Backlash Over 'Animal' at IFFI Amid constant backlash over his movie Animal , Ranbir Kapoor said, “I completely agree with your opinion. As actors, this is our responsibility to bring movies that make a positive impact on society.” However, he also emphasised the importance of exploring diverse roles and genres. “As actors, it’s important for me to dabble in different genres and characters and play varied roles,” he explained, underscoring the need for creative freedom. ‘Who Is Kishore Kumar?’ Ranbir Kapoor Reveals Alia Bhatt Didn’t Know Who the Legend Was at IFFI Goa 2024; See How the Audience Reacted (Watch Video) . View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shweta Parande (@fillumwaali) Javed Akhtar's Views on 'Animal' In a recent interview with Barkha Dutt, Javed Akhtar criticised the makers of Animal for glorifying violence. "Societies don’t move in a linear manner. So many things keep happening together. However, just like how there are many subplots in stories, there is also a main theme. We have to see what’s the main theme. All these are subplots, some are good, and some are bad. It’s not like the whole society changes together completely. Some people take very small and hesitant steps, while others move faster. Animal also exists," he said. Akhtar also expressed concern over Animal being a superhit movie. "The title tells you why. The title is self-explanatory. I didn’t express my opinion on Animal, I spoke about the audience that watched it. If 15 people have made a film with the wrong values, if 10-12 people make obscene songs, that’s not the problem. If 15 people are perverts among the 140 crore population, it doesn’t matter. When that thing goes on the market and becomes a superhit, that’s the problem," Akhtar added. About Animal Ranbir Kapoor's Animal was a massive box office success, grossing over INR 900 crore worldwide. The film portrays a hardened young man, the son of a powerful industrialist, who returns home to avenge those who threaten his father's life. The movie also stars Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri and Bobby Deol in key roles. (The above story first appeared on LatestLY on Nov 24, 2024 07:33 PM IST.

WINNIPEG — Kyle Walters doesn’t believe losing a third consecutive Grey Cup means the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ roster should be blown up. The CFL club’s general manager told reporters at his year-end availability Tuesday that reaching a fifth straight championship game by overcoming lots of injuries was a big accomplishment. Even before Winnipeg’s recent 41-24 Grey Cup loss to the Toronto Argonauts, Walters said he was looking forward to next season. “I was excited for next year based on what I'm looking at, compared to years past, where we've got more young guys that have contributed that are under contract," he said. "We've got more young players in the building. So, the idea of, ‘This is the end of the road. The team is in a free-for-all downward,’ I don’t think is accurate. "We have a good group of guys and we were in a one-point (Grey Cup) game with 10 minutes left ... before things went downhill.” The Blue Bombers started the season 0-4, moved to 2-6 and finished 11-7 to claim the West Division title. Star receiver Dalton Schoen, veteran linebacker Adam Bighill and backup quarterback Chris Streveler all suffered season-ending injuries and are pending free agents. Negotiating with the team’s 27 unsigned players could be impacted by moves across the league among coaches, personnel staff and players such as quarterbacks, Walters said. The Bombers have given permission for offensive coordinator Buck Pierce to speak to the B.C. Lions and Edmonton Elks about those teams’ vacant head-coaching jobs, he said. Walters also revealed the Ottawa Redblacks were given the go-ahead to talk to Richie Hall about their defensive coordinator vacancy. Hall was a Winnipeg defensive assistant this season after Jordan Younger took over from him as defensive coordinator. Walters said the Bombers received permission to speak to Lions offensive coordinator Jordan Maksymic in case Pierce leaves. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have already been given the OK to talk to Winnipeg assistant general managers Danny McManus and Ted Goveia about the Ticats’ GM opening. “You're hesitant to have too much conversation with people who may not be in the organization next year, so it's just been me and (head coach) Mike (O’Shea) in this moment huddled together and talking about next year,” Walters said. He said an NFL team had asked Tuesday morning to work out one Blue Bomber, but he didn’t reveal the player’s name in case he wasn’t aware of the request yet. The Blue Bombers won the Grey Cup in 2019 and ’21, but lost 28-24 to the Montreal Alouettes last year and 24-23 to Toronto in 2022. Winnipeg re-signed placekicker Sergio Castillo last week. Walters said he’d like to have deals done with three or four main players before the end of the year. The team has some up-and-coming young players inked for next year, and injuries gave others valuable experience on both sides of the ball, Walters said. Receivers such as rookie Ontaria Wilson (1,026 yards receiving in 18 games) and Keric Wheatfall (273 yards in seven games) are signed through next season. “The experience that they got was invaluable,” Walters said. Re-signing players who missed time because of injuries can get tricky. “Organizationally, can we approach (their agents) and say, 'Well, your guy was hurt, he should come back for less money?’” Walters said. “Generally, they don't view it like that. They view that they'll be back 100 per cent.” One question mark is the backup to starting quarterback Zach Collaros, who suffered a deep cut to the index finger of his throwing hand late in the third quarter of the Grey Cup. Collaros got five stitches and numbing agent applied to his finger. He returned with a bandage on it, but admitted he had a hard time gripping the ball. “We'll have to find out who our offensive coordinator is first,” Walters said when asked who might be Collaros’s backup. Terry Wilson, who briefly replaced Collaros in the Grey Cup, and Jake Dolegala are signed for next year. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is having his prostate removed on Sunday, his office said, a procedure that comes as he manages multiple crises at once, including the ongoing war in Gaza and his own trial for alleged corruption, AP reported. ET Year-end Special Reads What kept India's stock market investors on toes in 2024? India's car race: How far EVs went in 2024 Investing in 2025: Six wealth management trends to watch out for 75-year-old Netanyahu is among a cohort of older world leaders, including 82-year-old outgoing US President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump, 78, whose health and physical fitness are under deep scrutiny both at home and abroad because of their advanced age and the effect that could have on their leadership, as per a report on Associated Press. Netanyahu, who has had a string of health issues in recent years, has gone to great lengths to bolster a public image of himself as a healthy, energetic leader. During his trial this month he boasted about working 18-hour days, even if those long hours are accompanied by a cigar. But as Israel's longest-serving leader, such a grueling workload over a total of 17 years in power could also take a toll on his well-being. The procedure has already had a fallout: Netanyahu’s lawyer Amit Hadad said in a letter to the court the Israeli prime minister would be fully sedated for the procedure and would be hospitalized for “a number of days," asking that his three days of testimony this week be canceled. The court agreed. Netanyahu's office said that Justice Minister Yariv Levin, a close Netanyahu ally, would serve as acting prime minister during the procedure. With so much at stake in the turbulent region, Netanyahu’s health in wartime is a concern for both Israelis and the wider world.

The infection was treated successfully with antibiotics but a procedure on Sunday will remove his prostate. Complications from prostate enlargement are common in men in their 70s and 80s, Dr. Shay Golan, head of the oncology urology service at Israel’s Rabin Medical Center, told Israeli Army Radio. Golan spoke in general terms about the procedure and was not involved in Netanyahu's care or treatment. He said that an enlarged prostate can block proper emptying of the bladder, leading to a build-up of urine that can then lead to an infection or other complications. After medicinal treatment, doctors can recommend a procedure to remove the prostate to prevent future blockages, Golan said. In Netanyahu’s case, because the prostate is not cancerous, Golan said doctors will likely perform an endoscopic surgery, which is carried out by inserting small instruments into a body cavity, rather than making any surgical cuts in the abdomen to reach the prostate. The procedure lasts about an hour, Golan said, and recovery is quick. Golan also said that aside from catheter use for one to three days after the procedure, patients can return to normal activity without any significant limitations. FAQs Q1.

Kolkata: Parents of RG Kar rape and murder victim on Tuesday met Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari at the state Assembly and had requested him to continue with the protest till ‘justice’ is met. “The visit has nothing to do with politics. The parents of the doctor asked us to involve people to fight against the gruesome crime as justice is still not given. The saffron camp Legislators pledge to continue raising our voices against the crime,” said Adhikari. Talking to the media, the victim’s mother said, “My life has come to a standstill ever since I have lost my daughter. She bled from her eyes. I keep on wondering why she faced such cruelty while serving people. We want nothing but justice. I urge everyone to continue with their protests.” The parents of the victim also met Indian Secular Front (ISF) MLA Naushad Siddiqui. Incidentally, this development comes when trials have started for the prime accused in the incident Sanjoy Roy, a civic volunteer. In the initial days of the trial, Roy alleged that the former Commissioner of Police Vineet Goyal had ‘framed’ him. Notably, soon after the incident of rape and murder of the junior medic on August 9, a widespread started not just in Kolkata but across the globe demanding justice for the victim.
By HALELUYA HADERO, Associated Press President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. “President Trump takes no position on the underlying merits of this dispute. Instead, he respectfully requests that the Court consider staying the Act’s deadline for divestment of January 19, 2025, while it considers the merits of this case,” said Trump’s amicus brief, which supported neither party in the case and was written by D. John Sauer, Trump’s choice for solicitor general. The argument submitted to the court is the latest example of Trump inserting himself in national issues before he takes office. The Republican president-elect has already begun negotiating with other countries over his plans to impose tariffs, and he intervened earlier this month in a plan to fund the federal government, calling for a bipartisan plan to be rejected and sending Republicans back to the negotiating table. He has been holding meetings with foreign leaders and business officials at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida while he assembles his administration, including a meeting last week with TikTok CEO Shou Chew. Trump has reversed his position on the popular app, having tried to ban it during his first term in office over national security concerns. He joined the TikTok during his 2024 presidential campaign and his team used it to connect with younger voters, especially male voters, by pushing content that was often macho and aimed at going viral. He said earlier this year that he still believed there were national security risks with TikTok, but that he opposed banning it. The filings Friday come ahead of oral arguments scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The law was was signed by President Joe Biden in April after it passed Congress with broad bipartisan support. TikTok and ByteDance filed a legal challenge afterwards. Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld the statute , leading TikTok to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. The brief from Trump said he opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” In their brief to the Supreme Court on Friday, attorneys for TikTok and its parent company ByteDance argued the federal appeals court erred in its ruling and based its decision on “alleged ‘risks’ that China could exercise control” over TikTok’s U.S. platform by pressuring its foreign affiliates. The Biden administration has argued in court that TikTok poses a national security risk due to its connections to China. Officials say Chinese authorities can compel ByteDance to hand over information on TikTok’s U.S. patrons or use the platform to spread or suppress information. But the government “concedes that it has no evidence China has ever attempted to do so,” TikTok’s legal filing said, adding that the U.S. fears are predicated on future risks. In its filing Friday, the Biden administration said because TikTok “is integrated with ByteDance and relies on its propriety engine developed and maintained in China,” its corporate structure carries with it risk.SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Neurogene Inc. - NGNECooper Rush passed for two touchdowns, Dallas returned two kicks for scores and the visiting Cowboys held off the Washington Commanders in a wild fourth quarter for a 34-26 win.
