After telling Canadians that New Democrats would back Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's holiday affordability package and help pass it quickly, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh now wants it split up, as he's only ready to support part of it. Last Thursday, Trudeau announced a $6.3-billion affordability package that included a two-month tax reprieve on a slate of items, from some essentials to common stocking stuffers, starting in mid-December and running through mid-February, as well as a new one-time benefit payment of $250 for 18.7 million workers, which would roll out in April. Later that day, Singh said New Democrats were behind the proposal and would give the minority Liberals the votes they needed to expedite the package through an otherwise-stalled Parliament. Now, after reading more specifics, Singh wants changes, as he's concerned that too many Canadians were left out of the workers' benefit. "We know that Canadians need a break... but we learned on Friday that the cheques are being excluded from some of the most vulnerable Canadians," Singh said. "From seniors, from people living with disabilities, and from students." "It is a slap in the face," he added. He is now calling on the Liberals to "fix" the benefit to include more Canadians — who he "assumed" would qualify for it — while maintaining his support for passing the GST holiday into law. "We're saying, ‘Let's move ahead on the GST holiday right away, we can get that done this week’... but the Liberals right now need to fix the cheques," he said. Singh, who was briefed on the announcement before it was made, would not say if his calls for expanding the benefit cheques would be an ultimatum or a deal-breaker when it comes to supporting the package overall. "We need some clarity from the Liberals," he said. "We're more concerned about what's not in the bill." Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland confirmed Monday that the government quietly tabled draft legislation on Friday outlining how they'd enact these measures, "so that MPs from other parties would have a chance to see what we are proposing." She said the Liberals were having "energetic conversations with other parties about these measures." The actual bill, or bills to advance the tax break and $250 workers' benefit in Parliament, have yet to be presented. Freeland asserted Monday that both affordability-focused offerings will not be extended and will remain temporary — as billed — should they pass and become a reality. Bloc pans Liberals for 'suddenly' having billions to spend Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-François Blanchet told reporters on Parliament Hill Monday that his party will not support the proposal, unless the benefit portion is expanded to include seniors and retired Canadians. In September, Blanchet gave the Liberals an ultimatum, calling on them to help pass a boost to Old Age Security payments if they wanted Bloc support on confidence votes going forward. The federal government dismissed the measure as insufficiently targeted and too expensive, at a cost of about $3 billion. Now, Blanchet says he will not support the Canada Workers Benefit for the same reason. “The government said it doesn't have $3 billion, and suddenly it has $6 billion,” he said in French. The GST and HST holiday is estimated to cost $1.6 billion, while the cheques heading to Canadians who made $150,000 or less last year, is set to cost $4.7 billion. Blanchet said he was "fascinated" at the NDP’s initial support of the Liberal plan, and criticized the procedural hoops through which MPs may have to jump to get the bill passed. "My problem with this, is that the people who need the most this money, are not the people who will receive access to this money," Blanchet said in English. In an interview on CTV News Channel's Power Play on Monday, Public Services and Procurement Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said the Liberals are "certainly open to working with the opposition parties," to find a path forward. "We cannot do anything for Canadians unless another opposition party supports us... We'll obviously need to have a conversation with the NDP and other opposition parties," he told host Vassy Kapelos. Last week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called the proposed tax relief measures a "two-month temporary tax trick," and said he wanted to see the legislative specifics and speak with his caucus this week, before announcing if they'd support it. Today in question period, Poilievre said Singh is "giving Canadians whiplash with his latest flip flop and the flop on the flip." Filibuster persists amid acrimony This holiday relief package was seen as a potential way for the Liberals to secure the NDP's support in helping break what's now been a several-weeks-long stalemate in the House of Commons, even temporarily. Now, that prospect appears to also be in question, with no end in sight to the Conservative-led filibuster of a privilege debate that's persisted since September. When asked Monday, Singh was unable to clarify where things stood procedurally, after vowing last week his party would get behind a programming motion to expedite the passage of the package through all stages within one sitting, before resuming the standoff. MPs have been seized with a discussion about their work being impeded by Trudeau's government not turning over documents related to misspending by a now-defunct green technology fund. Addressing an issue that had been simmering for months, House of Commons Speaker Greg Fergus ruled on Sept. 26 that the Liberals did not fully comply with a House order seeking materials related to a Sustainable Development Technology Canada program the Conservatives are calling a "green slush fund." This opened the ability for the Official Opposition to demand the Liberals hand over unredacted copies to the RCMP and advance a priority motion to — as the House Speaker suggested, given the extraordinary circumstances — have the issue studied at the Procedure and House Affairs Committee. Deliberations on the proposal take precedence over most other House business and have essentially seized the Commons since. "Parliament is not functioning right now," Freeland said Monday. "We're in a minority in Parliament. We do not control it." The Liberals have taken the stance that passing this paperwork on to police would set a dangerous precedent and be an abuse of Parliament's power. Last week, another tranche of 29,000 pages was turned over, but with redactions. This was not enough to satisfy the Conservatives, who keep talking out the clock, preventing the motion from coming to a vote. They stated that if the government wants to get back to business, they need to be transparent. And, waiting in the wings, is a second privilege motion seeking to find Liberal MP and former minister Randy Boissonnault’s ex-business partner in contempt of Parliament, which would also have to be disposed of in order for ordinary order of business to resume. Speaker warns of nearing deadlines Beyond preventing government legislation from advancing, the procedural standoff is having knock-on effects on other key elements of parliamentary business. Specifically, the House of Commons is cutting it close when it comes to having time to deal with the supplementary estimates, and the remaining "supply" days — or opposition days, as they're more commonly called. Last Thursday, Speaker Fergus warned MPs that the rules do require them to make certain financial approvals and deal with related business within the next few weeks, and implored parliamentarians to find a path forward. This means both Treasury Board President Anita Anand's recently tabled supplementary estimates — which seeks to have MP sign off on additional spending for certain departments and programs for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 — as well as the outstanding opposition days, need to be delt with by Dec. 10. "As we get closer to the end of the current supply period, the chair wishes to encourage the House leaders to keep these various principles in mind," Fergus said. " I am confident that they can find ways to reconcile these important responsibilities." There are four outstanding opposition days to be called in the current supply cycle. These allotted days are designed to allow opposition parties to "present its grievances." Without approval to flow funds, some federal agencies could face a financial shortfall and could lead to a U.S.-style shutdown in the spring if the standoff persisted. Some parliamentary observers have speculated that a prolonged inability for the government to pass spending measures could in effect signal they've lost the confidence needed to keep this Parliament alive.

Aidan Bouman, Quaron Adams rally South Dakota past Tarleton State 42-31 in FCS second-round duel

LEGANES: Kylian Mbappe scored his first goal in five games for Real Madrid as the champions beat Leganes 3-0 on Sunday in La Liga. Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham also struck as Madrid moved second, four points behind leaders Barcelona with a game in hand. Los Blancos capitalized after Barcelona slipped to a draw at Celta Vigo on Saturday with a straightforward win against 14th-placed Leganes. Madrid face Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday in the Champions League in a crucial game for the Spanish side after two defeats in their first four European matches and warmed up with a solid performance. “The team managed the good feelings that we had in the (previous 4-0 win) against Osasuna well, and we confirmed them today,” said Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian lined up with young center-back Raul Asencio as well as Dani Ceballos, who was afforded a rare start and Turkish playmaker Arda Guler. Ancelotti was missing long-term absentees Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao among others, but was able to bring goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois back in for the visit to Butarque, in the Madrid suburbs. Mbappe started in his favoured left wing position, a change of strategy from Ancelotti after using Vinicius Junior there until now. It paid dividends as the forward netted his second goal in his last eight games, although he had a strike ruled out for offside beforehand. “We changed the position of the forwards, with Mbappe outside and he did well, like Vinicius inside,” said Ancelotti. Mbappe was left out of France’s squad for the second time in as many months during the recent international break and has been struggling with off-field problems, possibly affecting his start to life at Madrid following his move from Paris Saint-Germain. Guler had Madrid’s first real chance but Marko Dmitrovic parried his effort after the midfielder cut in from the right. Mbappe broke the deadlock shortly before half-time, teed up at the back post by Vinicius, who nipped in to capitalize on some Leganes defensive confusion. Sealing the win Valverde, captaining Madrid for the first time and playing out of position at right-back, drilled home his team’s second in the 66th minute from a free-kick. Dmitrovic thwarted a powerful Mbappe strike as the French forward looked to grab a second and seal Madrid’s win. In the end it was England star Bellingham, netting his second goal of the season, heading home a rebound from close range after Brahim Diaz’s deflected shot hit the crossbar. “We were very comfortable in the first half, playing the game we wanted to, but (to concede) after a mistake... hurts more, it got away from us because of our errors,” admitted Leganes defender Sergio Gonzalez. “The team gave everything, and with the smallest opportunities, they punished us.” Ancelotti was happy with 21-year-old centre-back Asencio’s performance on his first start for the club. “It surprised me in that he’s a player with maturity, always well positioned, very well positioned, and it means the youth academy has done a good job with him,” said the coach. — AFP

Kwara lawmaker empowers artisans, widows with items worth N50mA look at how some of Trump's picks to lead health agencies could help carry out Kennedy's overhaulMumbai: Even as hectic parleys are underway for who the chief minister would be, Devendra Fadnavis or Eknath Shinde, the BJP is adding Independent MLAs, one at a time, to its basket. In the last two days alone, at least five Independent MLAs have announced their support to the BJP, taking the total party strength to 137. On Monday, Jana Surajya Shakti Party, which has its base in Kolhapur and neighbouring districts that share a border with Karnataka, announced support with two MLAs – Vinay Kore and Ashok Mane – elected from the Shahuwadi and the Hatkanagale assembly constituencies, respectively. Kore, who helms the WaranaNagar sugar factory and a dairy unit, was an alliance partner of the Congress-NCP government from 2004-14. From Badnera (Amravati), the BJP has official support from Ravi Rana, a staunch supporter of Devendra Fadnavis. Rana represents the Rashtriaya Yuva Swabhiman party. In his fourth term now, Rana was previously associated with the Congress. In 2019, he offered unconditional support to the BJP after the assembly elections, following which he formed his own party. Married to actor-turned-politician Navneet Rana, he has been in the news for various agitations in Amravati and his constant tiffs with the other political figures from the district. The couple became known nationally when they announced plans to chant the Hanuman Chalisa near Shiv Sena UBT chief Uddhav Thackeray’s residence during the tenure of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. Thane resident Shivaji Patil, who won from Chandgad (Kolhapur), also submitted a letter of support to Fadnavis on Sunday. A known supporter of Fadnavis, Patil unsuccessfully contested the 2019 assembly poll. The BJP also has Rashtriya Samaj Paksha (RSP) MLA Ratnakar Gutte’s support. Now in his second term from Gangakhed (Parbhani), he made headlines when a string of companies attached to him came under the Enforcement Directorate scrutiny and his properties worth Rs255 crore were attached. As things stand now, the BJP needs support from eight more MLAs for a simple majority on its own. But it’s not as simple as it seems, considering it has as many as nine elected MLAs from Ajit Pawar’s NCP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — What’s stoking the Denver Broncos’ surprising surge is the growing connection between rookie quarterback Bo Nix and veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Whenever the Broncos (7-5) need a clutch catch, a key flag or a timely touchdown, Sutton is usually the one delivering it like he did Sunday when he caught eight passes on 10 targets for 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns that sparked the Broncos’ come-from-behind 29-19 win at Las Vegas. “Courtland played tremendous,” coach Sean Payton said. Again. “He’s just reliable,” Nix said. “He’s just always there when you need him.” Sutton’s size (6-foot-4 and 216 pounds) and experience (he’s in his seventh NFL season) make him an ideal target and safety valve for the rookie QB whose confidence is growing by the week. “He’s smart. He’s savvy. He makes plays when the ball’s in the air,” Nix said. “You can trust him. When it’s up in the air, it’s his or nobody’s. It’s not going to be a pick.” Nix’s first touchdown toss to Sutton was an 18-yarder that allowed the QB to break Marlin Briscoe’s 1968 Denver rookie record of 14 TD passes, and the two connected again with 5:30 left to make it a two-score game. The Broncos trailed 13-9 at halftime and Nix said they knew they had to get the ball into Sutton’s hands more in the second half after he had caught the only pass thrown his way in the first half (for 17 yards). “Didn’t target him (much) in the first half,” Nix said. “We come out and say, ‘Look, Courtland, this is your half.’ We take over the game. He goes for two touchdowns. That just kind of speaks for what he means to our team.” Sutton has been on a tear after since he wasn’t targeted a single time in Denver’s 33-10 win at New Orleans on Oct. 17. (Payton mentioned as recently as last week what an anomaly that game was because there was a heavy diet of plays for Sutton that just didn’t pan out for various reasons.) In his six games before that goose egg, Sutton had 21 catches on 49 targets for 277 yards and a touchdown. In the five games since, he’s caught 36 of the 48 balls thrown his way for 467 yards and three TDs. Plus, he threw a touchdown pass to Nix on a “Philly Special” at Baltimore in Week 9. “I think we’re just scratching the surface,” Sutton said. Thanks in part to the chemistry between Nix and Sutton, the Broncos are in position for the seventh and final playoff spot entering December. What’s working The passing game, thanks to the Nix-Sutton connection. What needs help The running game. Javonte Williams had just 2 yards on eight carries and Audric Estime ran three times for 15 yards against the Raiders’ run-heavy fronts and a steady diet of blitzes. Jaleel McLaughlin saved the day with seven carries for 44 yards. Stock up OLB Nik Bonitto. His 10 sacks make him the first Denver defender with double-digit sacks since 2018, when Von Miller did it. Stock down Once again, the Broncos’ special teams, with the exception of K Wil Lutz, who hasn’t missed a field goal attempt or extra point since his protection unit cratered at Kansas City three weeks ago and allowed the Chiefs to block what would have been the game-winning kick as time expired. On Sunday, the Raiders had a successful fake punt and a 59-yard kickoff return. Injuries Payton isn’t saying much about the injuries to DE Zach Allen (heel) and CB Riley Moss (knee) except that to him they’re not serious setbacks for either player. Key number Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. 2 — The Broncos are two games above .500 for the first time since starting the 2021 season with three wins. Next steps The Broncos host Cleveland (3-8) on Monday night ahead of their bye week. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Advertisement AdvertisementDonald Trump’s selection for the nation’s next top law enforcement official is expected to execute the “retribution” and “vengeance” he has promised against his political enemies. Now-former congressman Matt Gaetz — a Trump loyalist who spearheaded legal threats among House Republicans against the prosecutors and judges overseeing the criminal investigations against the former president — has withdrawn his name from consideration one week after Trump picked him for attorney general . A list of names in consideration for the role that circulated in the weeks leading up to Election Day did not include Gaetz, whose selection surprised members of Congress, where he remains under investigation for allegations of sexual misconduct. The job now appears up for grabs. Trump’s next attorney general — among the most critical roles in his administration — is widely expected to defy the Justice Department’s independence and work closely with the White House to protect the president-elect’s agenda. A planning document titled “ Transition Planning: Legal Principles ” that was crafted by Trump’s top campaign advisers offered several potential picks for the job. The list includes Jeffrey Clark, who is among the president-elect’s criminally charged co-defendants in a sprawling election inference case in Georgia and an unindicted co-conspirator in the federal prosecution of the former president for his efforts to overturn election results. Clark, who previously served as assistant attorney general in Trump’s first administration, also worked at a right-wing think tank founded by Russell Vought, among the authors of Project 2025 and Trump’s pick for the next director of the Office of Management and Budget. The transition document also names District Judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed Trump’s federal criminal case involving his possession of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Cannon was nominated to the judiciary in 2020. Former White House lawyer Mark Paoletta also appears on the list. Paoletta, who represented Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife Ginni during the House select committee investigation into January 6, has previously said it is the “constitutional duty” of the Department of Justice to implement Trump’s agenda. The former general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget in Trump’s first term has previously demanded Justice Department lawyers “be fully committed to implementing President Trump’s policies or they should leave or be fired.” The list also includes Trump’s criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche, who ultimately was nominated for deputy attorney general, the second-highest role at the Justice Department . Emil Bove, who along with Blanche defended Trump during the still-active hush money trial, was also nominated as principal deputy attorney general. Trump does not necessarily need to immediately fill the power vacuum for the top job. His two well-regarded attorneys — who have thus far kept him out of having to face any consequences for his criminal convictions — could fill acting roles at the top of the Justice Department while waiting for the nomination and confirmation of the next attorney general. Donald Trump Jr and Steve Bannon, meanwhile, have pushed for Trump’s legal ally Mike Davis as attorney general. Davis has recently threatened New York Attorney General Letitia James (“we will put your fat a** in prison”) and has vowed a “reign of terror” during the incoming administration. Matthew Whitaker was also considered a top contender for the role; Trump ultimately picked him for NATO ambassador. The former acting attorney general in Trump’s first administration has said that judges need to have a “biblical view of justice” and questioned the judgment of a secular judiciary. He also is on the board of America First Legal and chairs America First Policy Institute, groups that drafted policy documents for Trump’s administration while joining legal challenges against President Joe Biden. Media outlets and right-wing personalities have also offered up the names of several state attorneys general who have vigorously defended the former president. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has launched dozens of lawsuits against the Biden administration, including litigation against the president’s student loan debt relief plans and Title IX changes. He has also tried to inject himself in Trump’s criminal cases by demanding that judges lift gag orders against the former president. He testified in front of members of Congress about Trump’s criminal cases and called on the Justice Department to turn over files related to the special counsel’s investigations. Earlier this year, Trump himself said that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton would make a good candidate for attorney general. Paxton joined state attorneys general who launched a failed attempt to challenge Trump’s loss in four battleground states in 2020, and he spoke at the rally in Washington DC before a mob of Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6. Paxton also has cast himself as a victim of political persecution in a way that Trump has characterized the mountain of cases against him. Last year, Paxton was impeached, then acquitted, on allegations that he abused his power in office, and in March, prosecutors agreed to drop three felony securities fraud charges against him. Senator Mike Lee, a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and a former federal prosecutor, has been floated among his GOP colleagues for next attorney general. The adversarial Republican from Utah is among Trump’s biggest cheerleaders in the upper chamber of Congress, and already has the support of some of his colleagues who could hear him out during confirmation hearings. Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who is also the state’s former solicitor general, has also been floated as a possible contender.An aerial drone photo taken on Nov 23, 2024 shows farmlands developed after wells were dug by Chinese firm ZPEC in the desert of Aswan province, Egypt. – Xinhua photo ASWAN (Dec 8): In early winter, the warm sun bathes the desert hinterland of Kom Ombo, some 60 kilometres north of Aswan Province in Upper Egypt. Against the vast arid landscape, patches of lush green wheat stand in striking contrast. “Before, this place was an arid desert with no vegetation. Now, with the irrigation of well water, crops such as wheat have grown here, full of vitality and hope,” said Ahmed El-Sadani, beaming as he shared his story. Sadani, 30 years old, is the deputy manager of the Aswan water well project of ZPEC (China’s Zhongman Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Co Ltd) branch in Egypt, responsible for managing six water well drilling teams on site. Photo taken on Nov 23, 2024 shows a rig platform from Chinese firm ZPEC working on drilling a well in the desert of Aswan province, Egypt. – Xinhua photo He joined ZPEC in 2018 and has successively served as a mud engineer, water pump test engineer, and field engineer. “During the past six years, I have accumulated more experience by working in several desert well-drilling projects,” Sadani said. “Every time we see clear groundwater gushing out of the wellhead, my colleagues and I are very excited, knowing we’ve successfully drilled a new well.” Workers of Chinese firm ZPEC work on a rig platform to drill a well in the desert of Aswan province, Egypt, on Nov 23, 2024. – Xinhua photo Egypt, home to over 100 million people, grapples with the daunting task of cultivating more land for agriculture, as only 5 per cent of its territory is currently arable. To reduce reliance on food imports, the country has accelerated its desert reclamation initiatives since 2015. In support of these efforts, ZPEC established its Egypt branch in 2016 under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Since then, the team, composed of Chinese and Egyptian workers, has tackled harsh desert conditions, drilling more than 540 wells across Egypt — from the Sinai Peninsula to Minya, Matrouh, and Aswan provinces. Irrigated by underground water, the once barren desert has gradually transformed into fertile land. At the Kom Ombo site, there are six drilling teams, comprising more than 200 Chinese and Egyptian employees, said Zhao Wutao, general manager of the ZPEC branch in Egypt. An aerial drone photo taken on Nov 23, 2024 shows farmlands developed after wells were dug by Chinese firm ZPEC in the desert of Aswan province, Egypt. – Xinhua photo The rigs operate 24 hours a day, with workers rotating in two shifts, he said. Summer temperatures in Aswan often exceed 40 degrees Celsius, and conditions in the desert are even harsher. Yet, the team adheres to strict safety protocols, donning full uniforms and protective gear despite the heat. Amr Mohammed, 28 years old and one of the site engineers, used to work for an Egyptian drilling company and joined ZPEC last year. “ZPEC is one of the best companies in the field of drilling water wells in Egypt,” said Mohammed, who is responsible for managing the team members and drilling technology. “This area is yellow now, and it will turn green soon. Our work brings great benefits to the development of agriculture in Egypt,” Mohammed told Xinhua while pointing to the desert beside him. Drilling wells in the desert is no easy task. Zhao explained that locating well sites required trekking through the trackless desert for hours with GPS devices. Workers of Chinese firm ZPEC work on a rig platform to drill a well in the desert of Aswan province, Egypt, on Nov 23, 2024. – Xinhua photo Transportation of drilling equipment is another challenge. “A piece of large-scale drilling equipment weighs 500 tons and must be dismantled into parts before being transported by 25 vehicles,” Zhao said. “It takes 10 days to transport here from the work area in central and northern Egypt over 1,000 kilometres away,” he added. Zhao (left) chats with Ahmed El-Sadani, deputy manager of the Aswan water well project of ZPEC branch in Egypt. – Xinhua photo “We are engaged in livelihood projects and contribute our modest efforts to the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative between China and Egypt. We are happy to see that the locals can benefit from the well water,” Zhao said. Looking ahead, Zhao said ZPEC plans to deepen its involvement in Egypt’s agricultural development, creating more job opportunities and contributing further to the nation’s food security. – Xinhua
