Article content While Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland insists Canada’s economy is performing strongly and the fact Canadians don’t appreciate this is causing a “vibecession,” the actual numbers from Statistics Canada released Friday tell a different story. Recommended Videos It reported Canada’s real GDP per capita – widely accepted as a measure of prosperity and our standard of living – fell 0.4% in the third quarter of this year. This means that while the overall economy grew by an annualized rate of 1% in the third quarter, down from 2.2% in the second quarter, it contracted on a per-person basis, which is the much more significant issue. Statistics Canada said this was the sixth consecutive quarterly decline in per-capita GDP, part of a longer-term contraction of our economic growth that’s getting worse. It means the growth of Canada’s economy is not keeping up with population growth. As some economists describe it, it means that while Canada’s economic pie is getting bigger, the slice that every Canadian gets is getting smaller. It also means the Trudeau government’s recent reckless policy of dramatically increasing Canada’s population by hiking immigration levels, while it boosted the overall size of the economy, simultaneously made all Canadians poorer. That’s why the federal government recently lowered its immigration targets going forward. In defending Canada’s economic record last week after Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre mockingly asked Freeland during question period, “What’s her message to people who are hungry and homeless after nine years of her government – they just need to get with the vibe?” the Finance Minister shot back, “Mr. Speaker, my message to the leader of the Conservatives is to be a little more economically literate.” She referred to a recent upward revision to Canada’s GDP growth by Statistics Canada that retroactively increased it to 1.5% in 2023 from 1.2%, to 4.2% from 3.8% in 2022 and to 6% from 5.3% in 2021, adding this “showed a good result for Canada in per-capita GDP” and the fact Canada avoided a recession is “something to celebrate.” RECOMMENDED VIDEO Freeland has also boasted Canada today has the strongest economic growth in the G7. But she knows the real problem is Canada’s declining per-capita GDP. She warned us about it in her 2022 budget, linking it to Canada’s low productivity rates. Low productivity does not mean Canadian workers are lazy compared to other countries. It means they aren’t being give access to the education, training and technologies they need to work more efficiently, because of a lack of business investment in Canada. “Most Canadian businesses have not invested at the same rate as their U.S. counterparts,” Freeland’s budget said. “Unless this changes, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development projects Canada will have the lowest per-capita GDP growth among its member countries” from 2020 to 2060. Freeland called Canada’s low productivity crisis “the Achilles heel of the Canadian economy” in her 2022 budget, adding “productivity matters because it is what guarantees the dream of every parent – that our children will be more prosperous than we are. This is a well-known Canadian problem – an insidious one. It is time for Canada to tackle it.” RECOMMENDED VIDEO What Freeland didn’t say was that this is in part the result of the Trudeau government’s high tax, big deficit and regulatory policies being perceived by many potential investors as hostile to business – for example its campaign to downsize Canada’s oil and gas sectors, a lynchpin of Canadian prosperity, as part of its climate change agenda. What the latest data from Statistics Canada shows is that the government isn’t tackling the issue of declining per-capita GDP effectively – granted the problem existed prior to the Trudeau government taking power in 2015, but it is getting worse under it – and that tackling it is similar to turning around the Titanic, before it hit the iceberg. Everyone from the Bank of Canada – whose deputy governor Carolyn Rogers, recently called Canada’s low productivity a “break the glass” emergency – to the Fraser Institute, has sounded the alarm about this. RECOMMENDED VIDEO How bad could things get? University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe, writing recently in The Hub , said that real GDP per capita in the U.S. is about $66,300 (in 2015 dollars) compared to $44,400 in Canada, with the U.S. economy on track to produce almost 50% more per person than Canada this year. “A longer historical perspective reveals a striking reality,” Tombe wrote. “The gap between the Canadian and American economies has now reached its widest point in nearly a century. If this continues, we’ll have not persistently seen this wide of a gap since the days of John A. Macdonald ... This stunning divergence is unprecedented in modern history.” In other words, the “vibes” are really bad. lgoldstein@postmedia.comUMass loses to New England rival UConn in season finale

Israeli airstrikes killed a hospital director at his home in northeastern Lebanon and six others, while at least five paramedics were killed by Israeli strikes in the country's south on Friday, Lebanon's Health Ministry said. The United Nations reported heavy clashes between Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon. Four Italian peacekeepers were lightly wounded when a rocket, likely fired by Hezbollah, hit their base, the U.N. said. A full-blown war between Israel and Hezbollah erupted in September after nearly a year of lower-intensity conflict. More than 3,640 people have been killed in Lebanon and 15,350 wounded, the majority following Israel’s escalation and ground invasion, the Health Ministry said Friday. In Gaza, Israeli strikes hit Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the few hospitals still partially operating in the northernmost part of the territory, wounding nine medical staff and damaging its generator and oxygen systems, the hospital director said Friday. More than 44,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, the Health Ministry said. It does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but it has said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children. Israel launched the war in Gaza after Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250 . Around 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead. Here’s the Latest: DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli strikes hit Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the few hospitals still partially operating in the northernmost part of Gaza, wounding nine medical staff and damaging its generator and oxygen systems, its director said Friday. Hossam Abu Safiya said strikes before dawn Friday hit the entrance of the emergency unit as well as in the hospital courtyard. He said six staff were wounded, including two critically. Friday night, he said an armed drone hit the entrance again, wounding three staffers. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military. Abu Safiya said the strikes caused damage to the functioning of the generator and disrupted oxygen supplies. The hospital is currently treating 85 wounded, 14 children in the pediatric ward and four newborns in the neonatal unit, he said. During the past month, Kamal Adwan Hospital has been hit several times, was put under siege and was raided by Israeli troops, who are waging a heavy offensive in the nearby Jabaliya refugee camp and towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya. The Israeli military says it detained Hamas fighters hiding in the hospital, a claim its staff denies. BEIRUT — An Israeli airstrike killed the director of a university hospital and six others at his home in northeastern Lebanon, state media said. The strike targeted Dr. Ali Allam’s house near Dar Al-Amal Hospital, the largest health center in Baalbek-Hermel province, which has provided vital health services amid Israel's campaign of airstrikes, the Health Ministry said. State-run media reported that the strike came without warning. The ministry described his death as a “great loss,” and provincial governor Bachir Khodr said in a post on X that, “Mr. Allam was one of the best citizens of Baalbek.” In two separate episodes on Friday, Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed five paramedics with Hezbollah's medical arm, the Health Ministry said, describing it as “war crime.” The militant group provides extensive social services, including running schools and health clinics. In a report published Friday, the World Health Organization said nearly half of all attacks on health care in Lebanon since Oct. 7, 2023, have resulted in fatalities. “This is a higher percentage than in any active conflict today across the globe,” WHO said. In Lebanon, 226 health workers and patients were killed and 199 were injured between Oct. 7, 2023, and Nov. 18, 2024, the report said. The Health Ministry said Friday that 3,645 people have been killed in nearly 14 months of war between Hezbollah and Israel, while 15,356 were wounded, the majority following Israel’s escalation in late September. The death count includes 692 women and 231 children. UNITED NATIONS – Two rockets hit a headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon, injuring four Italian peacekeepers, the United Nations says. U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the rockets were likely launched by Hezbollah militants or by affiliated groups Friday, impacting a bunker and a logistics area in the southwest headquarters at Chamaa. One of the structures that was hit caught fire, and the blaze was swiftly put out by U.N. staff, he said. According to Italy’s Defense Ministry, some glass shattered due to the explosion, hitting the four soldiers. Dujarric said the four injured peacekeepers were receiving treatment at the medical facility of the mission, known as UNIFIL. “Thankfully, none of the injuries are life-threatening,” he said. Italy’s Defense Minister Guido Crosetto called the attack on the UNIFIL base “intolerable.” He reiterated that the Italian contingent remains in southern Lebanon “to offer a window of opportunity for peace, and cannot become hostage to militia attacks.” Dujarric said Friday’s attack was the third on Chamaa in a week and came amid heavy shelling and ground skirmishes in the Chamaa and Naqoura areas in recent days. UNIFIL’s main headquarters is in Naqoura. Friday’s attack follows a rocket attack on a UNIFIL base east of the village of Ramyah on Tuesday that injured four peacekeepers from Ghana. Dujarric said UNIFIL strongly urges Hezbollah and its affiliates and Israel to avoid fighting near its positions, which are supposed to be protected. “We remind all parties that any attack against peacekeepers constitutes a serious violation of international law” and the U.N. Security Council resolution that ended the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, he said. BEIRUT — Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs and the southern port city of Tyre on Friday, after the Israeli army issued several evacuation warnings saying it is targeting Hezbollah sites. The strikes in Beirut came dangerously close to central Beirut and Christian neighborhoods. One strike hit a building housing a gym and medical and beauty clinics, located just meters (yards) from a Lebanese army base. “What is there in the building to target? This attack they carried out on us in this building is a criminal and vile act,” resident Hassan Najdi told The Associated Press. “Because if their intention is targeting Hezbollah, this building has nothing to do with Hezbollah.” Najdi said he purchased an apartment in the building last year but had not yet moved in. He allowed a displaced family to move in and urgently asked them to evacuate after receiving the Israeli warning. The blasts sent plumes of smoke into the air and shattered glass in the vicinity. No casualties have been reported, but the strikes caused damage to nearby infrastructure and a key road connecting central Beirut to its southern suburbs. “We remain steadfast,” said Ali Daher, an employee at a mall facing the targeted building. “Everything that is lost can be replaced, and whatever is destroyed can be rebuilt in (no time).” In Tyre city, the Israeli military conducted multiple airstrikes after a series of warnings, claiming the targets belonged to Hezbollah’s Aziz unit, accusing it of firing projectiles into Israel. The Israeli military carried out other airstrikes across Lebanon, many without warnings, as heavy fighting between Israeli troops and Hezbollah in villages along the Lebanon-Israel border intensified. ROME — Italy said Friday it plans to discuss the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court over the Israel-Hamas war when it hosts Group of Seven foreign ministers next week. Premier Giorgia Meloni insisted that one point remained clear for Italy: “There can be no equivalence between the responsibilities of the state of Israel and the terrorist organization of Hamas.” Italy is a founding member of the court and hosted the 1998 Rome conference that gave birth to it. But Meloni’s right-wing government has been a strong supporter of Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, while also providing humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza. In a statement Friday, Meloni said Italy would study the reasonings behind the decision to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Italy respects the ICC and supports it. “But at the same time we are also convinced that the court must have a judicial role, and should not take up a political role.” Tajani will host G7 foreign ministers Monday and Tuesday outside Rome for the final meeting of the Italian G7 presidency. “As far as decisions are concerned, we will take them together with our allies,” Tajani said. During the G7 meetings, “we will talk about this with my allies there, and we will see what to do next.” Another member of the governing coalition, the outspoken Transport Minister Matteo Salvini was more defiant in supporting Israel. “If Netanyahu comes to Italy he will be welcomed,” Salvini was quoted by Italian media as saying. This item has been updated to correct that Salvini spoke of a potential Netanyahu visit to Italy, not Israel. ROME — Four Italian soldiers were slightly injured after two exploding rockets hit the United Nations' peacekeeping mission base on Friday in Chamaa in southern Lebanon, Italy's defense ministry said. Initial information suggested that two rockets hit a bunker and a room of the mission base, damaging the surrounding infrastructure, the ministry said. Shattered glass hit the four soldiers. The incident was the latest in which UN peacekeeping posts have been hit since Israel began its ground invasion of Lebanon on Oct. 1, leaving a number of peacekeepers wounded. Defence Minister Guido Crosetto called Friday's attack “intolerable.” He said he will try to speak to the new Israeli Defense Minister to ask him “to avoid using the UNIFIL bases as a shield.” Crosetto said the conditions of the four Italian soldiers “did not cause concern.” He reiterated that the Italian contingent remains in southern Lebanon “to offer a window of opportunity for peace and cannot become hostage to militia attacks.” Italy’s Premier Giorgia Meloni on Friday said she learned about the new attack with “deep indignation and concern.” Meloni reiterated that “such attacks are unacceptable,” renewing her appeal for the parties on the ground “to guarantee, at all times, the safety of UNIFIL soldiers and to collaborate to quickly identify those responsible.” GENEVA — The World Health Organization says nearly half of the attacks on health care in Lebanon have been deadly since the Middle East conflict erupted in October last year, the highest such rate anywhere in the world. The U.N. health agency says 65 out of 137, or 47%, of recorded “attacks on health care” in Lebanon over that time period have proven fatal to at least one person, and often many more. WHO’s running global tally counts attacks, whether deliberate or not, that affect places like hospitals, clinics, medical transport, and warehouses for medical supplies, as well as medics, doctors, nurses and the patients they treat. Nearly half of attacks on health care in Lebanon since last October and the majority of deaths occurred since an intensified Israeli military campaign began against Hezbollah militants in the country two months ago. The health agency said 226 health workers and patients have been killed and 199 injured in Lebanon between Oct. 7, 2023 and this Monday. JERUSALEM — Israel’s new defense minister said Friday that he would stop issuing warrants to arrest West Bank settlers or hold them without charge or trial — a largely symbolic move that rights groups said risks emboldening settler violence in the Israeli-occupied territory. Israel Katz called the arrest warrants “severe” and said issuing them was “inappropriate” as Palestinian militant attacks on settlers in the territory grow more frequent. He said settlers could be “brought to justice” in other ways. The move protects Israeli settlers from being held in “administrative detention,” a shadowy form of incarceration where people are held without charge or trial. Settlers are rarely arrested in the West Bank, where settler violence against Palestinians has spiraled since the outbreak of the war Oct. 7. Katz’s decision was celebrated by far-right coalition allies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. National Security Minister and settler firebrand Itamar Ben-Gvir applauded Katz and called the move a “correction of many years of mistreatment” and “justice for those who love the land.” Since Oct. 7, 2023, violence toward Palestinians by Israeli settlers has soared to new heights, displacing at least 19 entire Palestinian communities, according to Israeli rights group Peace Now. In that time, attacks by Palestinian militants on settlers and within Israel have also grown more common. An increasing number of Palestinians have been placed in administrative detention. Israel holds 3,443 administrative detainees in prison, according to data from the Israeli Prison Service, reported by rights group Hamoked. That figure stood around 1,200 just before the start of the war. The vast majority of them are Palestinian, with only a handful at any given time Israeli Jews, said Jessica Montell, the director of Hamoked. “All of these detentions without charge or trial are illegitimate, but to declare that this measure will only be used against Palestinians...is to explicitly entrench another form of ethnic discrimination,” said Montell. BERLIN — A German official has suggested that his country would be reluctant to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. The ICC’s warrants for Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant put Germany, a staunch ally of Israel, in an awkward position. The government said in a statement Friday that it is one of the ICC’s biggest supporters, but “at the same time, it is a consequence of German history that unique relations and a great responsibility connect us with Israel.” The government said it takes note of the arrest warrants and that “we will examine conscientiously the domestic steps.” It said that any further steps would only be an issue if a visit by Netanyahu or Gallant were “foreseeable.” Government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit was pressed repeatedly at a regular news conference on whether it would be conceivable to arrest an Israeli prime minister. He replied: "It’s hard for me to imagine that we would carry out arrests in Germany on this basis.” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Friday refused to comment on the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others, saying that the court's rulings are “insignificant” for Russia, which doesn’t recognizes the court’s jurisdiction. The ICC last year issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and a number of other top Russian officials, accusing them of war crimes in Ukraine. The Kremlin has brushed off the warrants, saying that in Moscow’s eyes they’re “null and void.” Asked if the ICC warrants for Netanyahu and others can help resolve the tensions in the Middle East, Peskov said: “Well, in general, the actions of the ICC are unlikely to help anything. That’s the first thing. And secondly, we don’t see any point in commenting on this in any way, because for us these rulings are insignificant.” DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Large crowds of displaced people crammed themselves in front of a bakery in the Gaza Strip for the second day in a row, desperate to get their share of bread after bakeries closed for five days due to a flour shortage and the lack of aid. “I am a 61-year-old man. This is the third day that I have come to Zadna Bakery and I still cannot get bread ... I have children to feed,” said Majdi Yaghi, a displaced man from Gaza City. The price of a small bag of pita bread increased to $16 by Friday, a stark increase from about 80 cents last month. A bag of pasta now costs $4 and a small bag of sugar costs nearly $14. That has left many Palestinian families surviving on one meal a day and reliant on charitable kitchens to survive. In Khan Younis, women and children lined up at the al-Dalu charitable kitchen for bulgur, the only food available at the makeshift charity. One of the workers there, Anas al-Dalu, told the AP that they cook ten pots every day of either rice, beans, or bulgur. But that hardly fills the need for the thousands of people displaced in the area. “The charity here is in a difficult situation. It is a drop in the ocean, and there is no aid or charities. There is nothing," said Nour Kanani, a displaced man from Khan Younis. “It is a crisis in every sense of the word. There is no flour, no charities, and no food.” BEIRUT — Israeli troops fought fierce battles with Hezbollah fighters on Friday in different areas in south Lebanon, including a coastal town that is home to the headquarters of U.N. peacekeepers. A spokesperson for the U.N. peacekeeping force known as UNIFIL told The Associated Press that they are monitoring “heavy clashes” in the coastal town of Naqoura and the village of Chamaa to the northeast. UNIFIL’s headquarters are located in Naqoura in Lebanon’s southern edge close to the border with Israel. “We are aware of heavy shelling in the vicinity of our bases,” UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said. Asked if the peacekeepers and staff at the headquarters are safe, Tenenti said: “Yes for the moment.” Several UNIFIL posts have been hit since Israel began its ground invasion of Lebanon on Oct. 1, leaving a number of peacekeepers wounded.

Face biometrics are a common theme running through the most-read articles of the week on , along with the impact that deepfakes and synthetic data are having on the field’s market and development. New algorithms from Innovatrics and Incode performed well in NIST testing and a new training dataset of synthetic identities seeks to bridge the realism gap. A report from Entrust and Onfido reveals the alarming frequency of deepfake-fueled fraud attempts and a new group including the ACCS, AVPA and Privately is looking into defending age assurance systems against deepfakes. Facial recognition is also the mechanism that will be relied on to keep Australian teens off of social media and make Europe’s border protection plans operationally feasible. Elsewhere, Jordan Burris delves into Socure’s advice for the incoming American government on digital ID. A group of technology and child welfare advocates in Australia waded into that country’s , arguing for the a more moderate regulatory approach. The dangers of social media for children are well documented, but the proposal would affect how everyone uses the internet, while not everyone understands what is being proposed or how it would work. NIST published a new update to its 1:N FRTE track earlier this month, which shows particularly from Innovatrics and Incode. Both algorithms cracked the top 10 in multiple categories, while familiar entries from NEC, Idemia, Paravision, CloudWalk, SenseTime and Megvii showed top results. NIST also published guidelines for the U.S. federal government’s identity verification and access control system, which is based on ID cards. The new documents cover identity services. Both are final public drafts, and comments will be accepted until January 10. Digital identity should be given and a national taskforce formed to advance it, Socure says among five recommendations for the new government. Jordan Burris tells in an interview that the critical infrastructure status is a natural extension of designations already on the books, and explains how leadership and collaboration can enable a leap forward for America’s defense against fraud. Remote pre-enrollment may be the best way to with faster operations for the EU’s EES, but is running up against the requirement for fingerprint biometrics and concern about contactless fingerprint spoofing. There were key points from an industry roundtable held by eu-LISA, and featuring insights from numerous stakeholders including iProov and Mühlbauer. CBP is using to help maintain the security of biometrics and other sensitive personal data, and prevent another incident like the Perceptics breach. Even the automated tests themselves require robust data security, and they are likely to be used even more extensively as CBP migrates more systems to cloud environments. World ID enrollments are back on in Brazil, and off in the Dominican Republic, where a consumer rights regulator has ordered their suspension. The company has , from the physical appearance of its iris biometric-scanning orbs to the latest accusations of “abusive” contract clauses in the name of “privacy rocket science.” The frequency of deepfake attacks has reached every five minutes, according to the 2025 Identity Fraud Report from Entrust and Onfido. The report also shows more than half of all document fraud in the digital channel involves , and the crypto industry is a relatively common target. Deepfakes pose a potential threat beyond financial fraud as well, and stakeholders within the age assurance community have come together to launch the against presentation and injection attacks. The project is run by the ACCS, AVPA and Privately. Technology and law are both being turned against deepfakes, at predictably differing paces. Authologic’s digital ID aggregation business model gets a closeup from in the wake of its $8 million fundraise. The company’s founders believe malicious use of AI is a threat to civilization itself. Meanwhile in Minnesota, a court challenge to an anti-deepfake law has been led on a detour by an academic who filed a brief that appears to contain citations hallucinated by a large language model, according to . Synthetic data holds the potential to help train better facial recognition systems, but the existing databases fall short of the realism needed to realize that potential, say researchers from Idiap. They built a database with nearly 400,000 face images of , which they call Digi2Real, using foundational models, to address the realism gap.
