Speaking after a Canadian Labour Congress event in Ottawa, Singh says he’s open to passing the GST legislation, but the rebate needs to include seniors, students, people who are on disability benefits and those who were not able to work last year. Singh says he initially supported the idea because he thought the rebate cheques would go to anyone who earned under $150,000 last year. But the so-called working Canadians rebate will be sent to those who had an income, leaving out people Singh says need the help. The government intends to include the measures in the fall economic statement, which has not yet been introduced in the House of Commons. The proposed GST holiday would begin in mid-December, lasting for two months. It would remove the GST on prepared foods at grocery stores, some alcoholic drinks, children’s clothes and toys, Christmas trees, restaurant meals, books, video games and physical newspapers. A privilege debate has held up all government business in the House since late September, with the Conservatives pledging to continue a filibuster until the government hands over unredacted documents related to misspending at a green technology fund. The NDP said last week they had agreed to pause the privilege debate in order to pass the legislation to usher in the GST holiday. Singh said Tuesday that unless there are changes to the proposed legislation, he will not support pausing the debate. The Bloc Québécois is also pushing for the rebates to be sent to seniors and retirees.
It shows that support for the Fianna Fail party is at 21% ahead of polling day, only slightly ahead of their coalition partners Fine Gael and the largest opposition party Sinn Fein, who were neck-and-neck at 20%. The Red C-Business Post poll showed support for Fianna Fail unchanged, while Fine Gael had a slide of two percentage points and Sinn Fein gained two. The near dead-locked poll results came on Wednesday as fears over future economic threats took centre stage in the final stretch of the campaign. Taoiseach Simon Harris said he is taking a “project truth” approach to calling out Sinn Fein’s spending pledges as election results on the other side of the Atlantic put Ireland’s economic model into sharp relief. Donald Trump’s presidential election victory in the US has brought heightened concern around what his proposals for corporation tax and tariffs could mean for Ireland. Mr Harris, leader of Fine Gael, has argued Ireland and other EU countries need to prepare for the possibility of trade shocks as he criticised the scale of Sinn Fein’s spending pledges as well as their saving plans. He said: “I think that is irresponsible, I think it is dangerous and I think it is reckless.” He accused Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald of not being able to say what her party was prepared to do in the event of an economic crash, adding that Fine Gael would borrow and stop putting money towards a rainy-day fund. Asked if the party was engaging in “project fear” to dissuade voters against Sinn Fein, Mr Harris said: “I call it ‘project truth’. It’s telling people what’s being discussed right across European capitals.” Ms McDonald told an RTE interview on Wednesday morning that a Sinn Fein government would also be prepared to start borrowing in the event of an economic downturn. Both Mr Harris and Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin, who were partners in the last coalition government in Ireland, have made clear they will not countenance Sinn Fein as a potential partner in the next administration in Dublin. One day after the only three-way debate featuring the leaders of the main parties, Mr Martin accused Sinn Fein of being “dishonest” about how they will fund their manifesto plans. Speaking in Dublin on Wednesday, he said he is anxious to get clarity on the issue. “I think Sinn Fein have been very dishonest, frankly, in terms of the funds, because if you go through their figures, and this is a matter of fact, not opinion, they’re predicting a surplus of a billion in 2026, a billion in 2027. “Even in 2025, they’re talking about a mini budget, which would mean reducing the surplus that we’re anticipating in 2025. “There’s a legislative obligation now on any new government to put 0.8% of GDP to one side, and into the funds. There’s no way you can do that with a surplus of a billion in 2026 or 2027, and we would argue they would not have enough funds next year either to put into the funds.” He added: “It means they have no room to manoeuvre if things go wrong, if there’s headwinds come externally, or there are shocks internationally, Sinn Fein is not allowing any headroom at all in terms of room to respond or to move it.” Ms McDonald accused the other two parties of conspiring to keep Sinn Fein out of government and prevent change in Ireland. She said the two men were now “indistinguishable” from each other as she claimed they were suffering “acute amnesia” in regard to their records in government. On a visit to Naas fire station in Co Kildare, she said: “To listen to them, you’d imagine they had just arrived on the scene and that they were going to come up with all of these solutions. “They have had ample chances, ample opportunity, to make things better, and they have failed, and in between the two of them I make the case that now we ask for our chance, with our plans, with our team, to demonstrate how change can happen, how your community, your family, yourself, can be supported when the government is actually on your side.” Mr Martin’s and Mr Harris’ coalition partner Roderic O’Gorman, the leader of the Greens, issued a warning to the public over a future government without his party. On Wednesday, he said it is looking likely that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael will be returned to government – but cautioned they may not want the Greens to continue “fighting hard” on policies. He told reporters: “My sense is certainly the mood music from Fianna Fail and Fine Gael is that they’d like an easier life in the next government – and my concern is they use these small populist parties and right-wing independents.” Mr O’Gorman argued that the Greens could continue to provide stability to government at a time when economic shocks may be around the corner. As the Green leader suggested that relying on independents would be unstable, Mr Martin has also argued that “too much fragmentation would lead to incoherence in government”. Reflecting on Tuesday night’s debate, the Fianna Fail leader said the race remained “too close to call” while Mr Harris said it is “all to play for”. The leaders of Ireland’s three main political parties clashed on housing, healthcare and financial management in the last televised debate before Friday’s General Election. The tetchy debate, which was marked by several interruptions, saw the parties set out their stalls in a broadcast that commentators said did little to move the dial before polling day. After the 2020 general election delivered an inconclusive result, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, two parties forged from opposing sides of Ireland’s Civil War of the 1920s, agreed to set aside almost a century of animosity and share power – with the Greens as a junior partner. From 2016 to 2020, Fianna Fail had supported Fine Gael in power through a confidence-and-supply arrangement from the Opposition benches in the Dail parliament. Sinn Fein won the popular vote in 2020 but a failure to run enough candidates meant it did not secure sufficient seats in the Dail to give it a realistic chance of forming a government.Steelers QB Russell Wilson is spreading the wealth on offense
The Department Business and Economic Affairs will use a new, $1.9 million travel and tourism grant under the expiring American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to take advantage of an expanded airlift of flights going to and from new markets to the the state’s two main airports. Without debate, the Executive Council agreed earlier this week agreed to earmark these tourism dollars to GYK Antler LLC of Manchester, the marketing firm that already had a $16 million contract to handle on a variety of marketing efforts for DBA. “The additional funding will be important in supporting the expanded airlift into New Hampshire, through Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and Pease International Airport,” said DBA Commissioner Taylor Caswell. “This year alone, there has been an addition of three major airlines — JetBlue. Breeze, and Sun Country — and the twelve new routes, including destinations such as Orlando, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Fort Lauderdale, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Charlotte, Charleston, and Greenville-Spartanburg.” The money will be used to create a “strategic marketing plan” to raise awareness about New Hampshire in all these newly served markets, Caswell said “Market research shows that nearly 30% of travelers from these regions take up to four trips per year, with half of them spending over $7,000 per trip. While advertising costs in these markets are high, a targeted and cost-efficient multimedia approach will be used to build brand awareness and encourage travel to New Hampshire.” The aim is for GYK to help ensure a “consistent and cohesive brand,” Caswell added. Repetition is the key to success in this endeavor, he explained. “Studies Indicate that people need to see a message an average of 15 times before they take action, making consistent, sustained exposure critical to the success of the campaign,” Caswell said. “With this in mind, the funding will be carefully allocated to build long-term awareness of New Hampshire's attractions and drive sustained interest in the state.” The multimedia campaign will be followed up by continued promotion as part of BEA’s ongoing budget, he added. “This strategic approach will ensure that New Hampshire not only capitalizes on the immediate benefits of these new airline routes but also establishes a strong presence In these key travel markets for years to come,” he added. The company’s existing marketing work is split up into tourism, employment, workforce opportunity and specialty crop branding. In a related action, the council approved $38,375 to the Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food (DAMF) to study ways to create more of a brand identity for New Hampshire grown crops. “GYK will gather existing data and research on the local business and brand to develop the foundation for the brand identity including name, logo, concept and standards,” Caswell said. “At the completion of the contract, the DAMF will have a brand logo in multiple formats and a brand standards document for use by the State, farmers and producers, and other local partners exclusively for the promotion of NH specialty crops.” Agriculture Assistant Commissioner Joshua Marshall signed onto this request along with a separate item the council approved that creates a memorandum of understanding for this three-month crop branding analysis. klandrigan@unionleader.comFuerte sismo estremece al norte de California; cancelan advertencia de tsunami

Venture investor and podcaster David Sacks will join the Trump administration as the "White House A.I. & Crypto Czar," President-elect Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Thursday. Sacks will guide the administration's policies for artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, Trump wrote. Some of that work includes creating a legal framework for crypto, as well as leading a presidential council of advisors on science and technology . "David will focus on making America the clear global leader in both areas," Trump wrote. "He will safeguard Free Speech online, and steer us away from Big Tech bias and censorship." The appointment signals that the second Trump administration is rewarding Silicon Valley figures who supported his campaign. It also indicates that the administration will push for policies that cryptocurrency entrepreneurs generally support. Sacks became a major Trump booster earlier this year, hosting a fundraiser for the then-Republican nominee at his San Francisco mansion. Tickets sold for $50,000 a head, with a $300,000 tier that included perks like a photo with Trump. It was a stark change of tone for Sacks, who was sharply critical of Trump after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Sacks said on an episode of his All-In podcast soon after that Trump was "clearly" responsible for the events of Jan. 6, and that he had "disqualified himself from being a candidate at a national level." In July, Sacks spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Sacks is a venture capitalist and entrepreneur who sold Yammer, to Microsoft for $1.2 billion in 2012. He's also affiliated with the "PayPal mafia," an unofficial club of prominent technology figures and investors, including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, who worked at PayPal in the 1990s. In recent years, Sacks has been best known for hosting the All-In podcast alongside fellow investors Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, and David Friedberg. In his post, Trump called it the "top podcast in Tech, where he and his friends discuss economic, political and social issues."Man rescued from Maine woods transported to Massachusetts for frostbite treatment
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Saquon Barkley wanted to be a student in team history before he had a chance to make some with the Eagles. The running back who had just signed with Philadelphia for $26 million guaranteed took a deep dive on some of the franchise’s greats out of the backfield. He learned about Wilbert Montgomery. Brushed up on LeSean McCoy. Barkley then put them in his sights — and this week against Carolina, he could become the top single-season rusher in Eagles history. Get past those two Eagles Hall of Famers and the target narrows: McCoy has a chance to break Eric Dickerson's NFL single-season rushing mark of 2,105 yards, set in 1984. “That's your goal,” Barkley said. “You want to come in here, you want to leave a legacy on a place, on a franchise.” Here's where things stand with Barkley in his pursuit of records: — Barkley has an NFL-best 1,499 yards rushing through 12 games, an average of 124.9 yards per game. At that pace and with one more game to play than Dickerson, he would surpass the NFL mark that's stood for 40 years. — Barkley needs to run for 108 yards against the Panthers to break McCoy's Eagles record of 1,607 yards set in 2013. Montgomery ran for 1,512 yards in 1978. “I'm aware of the things I can accomplish,” Barkley said. “The way I accomplish that is sticking to the script.” The Eagles (10-2) have won eight straight to take control of the NFC East and remain in the hunt for the No. 1 seed in the conference. Barkley — with a little help from Jalen Hurts — has largely led the way and moved into MVP consideration. The former New York Giant also ranks third in the league with 11 rushing touchdowns. It's reasonable to expect Barkley to pile on the yards against Carolina (3-9). The Panthers are 32nd in the league against the run and just allowed Tampa Bay's Bucky Irving to run for a career-high 152 yards last week (he had never broken 100). “It’s incredible what he is doing. The record has stood up for a while. I mean 17 games or 14 games, it’s ridiculous,” Panthers defensive lineman Shy Tuttle said. “It’s a record that has been held for a long time and whoever breaks it, Saquon or someone else, it’s an incredible achievement.” Barkley leads the NFL with four rushing touchdowns of 25-plus yards this season and tied Montgomery for the most 100-yards games in an Eagles season with eight. “You get to see the player on Sundays. We get to see the person every other day during the week,” offensive coordinator Kellen Moore said. “He’s special. At the end of the day, he’s a special teammate, special person. The way he connects with everyone, rallies everyone together. He’s one of the best.” Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is eager to get back on the field and put last week behind him. Carolina’s leading rusher had a costly fumble in overtime last Sunday against Tampa Bay as the Panthers were driving for a potential game-winning field goal, resulting in a 26-23 loss to division rival Tampa Bay. A dejected Hubbard remained on the bench for several minutes after the loss. “You definitely use it as motivation,” Hubbard said. “I have come a long way and I know what it’s like to play great football. That was a big mistake on my end, but I don’t just lose all of the work I have put in because of that one mistake.” Bryce Young is beginning to show he can be a factor with his legs, scoring on a 10-yard run last week against the Buccaneers. However, Young still receives plenty of good-natured ribbing from his teammates when it comes to his sliding ability, which the QB has previously admitted is limited because he wasn’t much of a baseball player. “He definitely has to work on his slide,” Hubbard said. “He has been making people miss so he hasn’t had to slide like that a lot. I mean I’m not trying to hate on my dog’s slide but it’s just a work in progress. He will be all right.” Panthers guard Robert Hunt said it’s always interesting playing in Philadelphia because of the team’s passionate fan base. Last year, while Hunt was playing for the Dolphins, he said an Eagles fan attempted to board the Miami team bus. “They have some characters there — some people who don’t really give a damn,” Hunt said. “He was trying to trash-talk us. But he was confident and that is what makes them them.” Hunt said the fan never made it on the bus. “Aw hell no, we would have stomped that boy,” Hunt said with a laugh. “He tried. He was talking his noise. Good for him. I don’t want to say you want a fan base like that, but you want a fan base that cares about the team.” AP Sports Writer Steve Reed in Charlotte, North Carolina, contributed to this report.

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers raised his hands to his head in despair before his own goal crossed the line to give Club Brugge the lead in the Champions League on Wednesday. The United States international played a no-look pass back from 10 yards (meters) toward his own net where he thought goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel would be. Schmeichel was not there, and the ball rolled slowly into the corner of the goal as the veteran Denmark goalkeeper raced helplessly across his line. He narrowly avoiding crashing into the goal post. The unforced error by Carter-Vickers gifted Club Brugge a 26th-minute lead at Celtic Park. Celtic has impressed in the Champions League this season with seven points from its first four games.

More info Former The Traitors contestant Charlotte Chilton has shared that her newborn daughter Penelope is dealing with "tummy issues," just six weeks after her birth. The 33 year old reality star, who appeared on the second series of the BBC show earlier this year, introduced her little one to the world this week exclusively with OK!. The reality star has claimed that singer Conor Maynard, 32 , is the father of her child, but alleges he's not currently involved, leaving her to parent solo with the help of her family and friends. Keeping her followers in the loop about her journey into motherhood since Penelope's arrival, she posted a snap on her Instagram Story on Tuesday afternoon where she was seen cuddling the sleeping newborn. Alongside the picture, Charlotte revealed her baby's "tummy issues," without going into further detail, writing: "Penelope has tummy issues which hopefully we can get sorted ... mummy cuddles fix all things." This update comes after the mum-of-one opened up to OK! about how becoming a mum has transformed her life. In the interview, she gushed: "It's incredible how it changes your life.! Speaking about her daughter, she confessed: "When I'm not with her, I feel like my arm has been chopped off. It's a huge adjustment, but I'm so in love." However, becoming a mother for the first time has also come with it's challenges for Charlotte. “I hated being pregnant,” she told us, as she effortlessly clutches a mug of tea in one hand and little Penelope in the other. “I loved the baby inside me, but everything else was s**t. I remember thinking, ‘This is vile. Women lie to women and say, It’s magical. There’s nothing magical about this.’ I was really, really negative, but I did have SPD [Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, which causes severe pelvic pain during pregnancy], gestational diabetes, I had an allergy to my hormones. "I had everything, so I was constantly in and out of the hospital. I couldn’t do much for myself. I had to stop working for the last three months. And I didn’t have a baby daddy there to help. It was really hard.” Last month, Charlotte announced the arrival of Penelope on social media, sharing a black-and-white snap of the baby's arms and revealing her name. She wrote: "Princess Penelope has arrived and we have been enjoying our 'Penelope bubble' so much,I am going to be off the radar for a little longer, whilst I enjoy these magical moments with my precious girl! ! Thank you to all that have checked in to make sure I am ok! ! My heart is full." Charlotte first came into the limelight earlier this year when she appeared as one of the Faithfuls on the Traitors, telling the Mirror previously that she wanted to "push her boundaries" by participating in the show. She made it more than halfway through the series before being voted off by her co-stars.NRMA Insurance is helping to unite Australians by making this season ‘The Summer of Community Cricket’ in its new campaign with Accenture Song.

Aaron Rodgers is feeling healthy and will be the New York Jets' starting quarterback as long as that remains the case. Whether he's in the huddle beyond this season is still to be decided — by the Jets and Rodgers. “Football life is interesting because there’s no guarantees,” Rodgers said Wednesday. "Even with injuries, obviously, with contract situations, with age, with coaching changes, new scheme possibly, new system. There’s a lot of unknowns, so that stuff is out of my control. “I’m just going to enjoy these times here and let the future take care of itself.” Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Rodgers returned from the team's bye-week break appearing physically refreshed and ready to go. The quarterback was not on the Jets' injury report Wednesday for the first time since Week 4. “Definitely, as long as he’s healthy, my plan is to play him,” Ulbrich said. “And I know talking to him, that’s the way he wants to do it, too.” Rodgers, who turns 41 on Monday, has dealt with various injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, sprained ankle and balky hamstring. And that’s after coming off a torn Achilles tendon in the same leg that limited him to just four snaps last season. “He’s doing better today than he has for quite a while now,” Ulbrich said. “After my conversations with him the last five or six weeks, he has felt healthier today than he’s felt in that time span.” That echoes what Rodgers said during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, when he said he “feels good.” Rodgers said he's still contemplating whether he wants to play football next season, but would prefer it be with the Jets if he does return. He reiterated that Wednesday after practice and explained why his tone has changed a bit from a few weeks ago when he said “I think so, yeah,” when he was asked if he planned to play next year. “If you look at what transpired in those two weeks, Joe (Douglas) got axed,” Rodgers said, referring to the Jets' former general manager who was fired last week. "Joe brought me in here. There’s uncertainty with, you know, everybody on the staff, so I’m not naive to what the situation is. And if a new GM comes in and they don’t retain Brick, I have to fit in those plans, so that’s kind of the first part. “Like I said, on ”The Pat McAfee Show," this is my first option. I’d love to play here if I end up deciding to play. But there’s got to be a want for them to want to bring me back, and for me to want to play. But ‘I think so’ was the truth, and ‘I’m not 100% sure’ is also the truth today." Rodgers, who is having a subpar season statistically, has been noticeably affected by his leg ailments — and that's something that could be much improved starting Sunday against Seattle. “I’m super excited about getting him going, whether it’s the keepers, the boots, a little bit more quarterback movement,” Ulbrich said. “Taking advantage of the stuff that he’s done at a Hall of Fame level his entire career. So, excited to see a healthier version of Aaron out there.” There was some speculation that the Jets, who are 3-8 and close to falling mathematically out of the playoff hunt, could opt to sit Rodgers in favor of Tyrod Taylor with his playing future uncertain. “He is a very prideful person,” Ulbrich said. “He wants to finish this thing off right. He wants to celebrate this team that we have and have a good taste in our mouths as we leave this season.” Rodgers has been very complimentary of Ulbrich as a leader, saying he's “definitely all-in” on the interim coach and would like to see him get the full-time job for next season. “Again, that’s out of my control,” Rodgers said. "I mean, I’m not going to say Brick or nothing. I need to see how I’m feeling. Obviously, I would love to play for Brick again. He’s a fantastic human being, but there’s a lot of things that can change in the next six weeks. “There could be some really good feelings coming out of this or there could be wholesale changes — and I might be a part of that.” Those changes could include two coaches Rodgers is closest with in offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and passing game coordinator Todd Downing. “Them not being here would not be a deal breaker for me,” Rodgers said, “although I obviously love them.” Owner Woody Johnson is using The 33rd Team, with former GMs Mike Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman leading the project, to identify and analyze candidates for the Jets' coach and GM searches. Rodgers is unsure if Johnson will seek his input on those decisions. “I’m always available if my opinion is wanted, but I’m going to focus on playing right now,” Rodgers said. “If I get drawn in those conversations, fantastic. If I don’t, that’s fantastic, too.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflSouthwest states certify election results after the process led to controversy in previous years
Joseph Vaske pleaded guilty to a theft charge Friday which was reduced from a first-degree to a third-degree felony for illegally cashing his father’s Social Security checks and depositing them in his own account. Charlotte Caldwell | The Lima News LIMA — A Lima man pleaded guilty Friday in the Allen County Common Pleas Court to a theft charge which was reduced from a first-degree to a third-degree felony for illegally cashing his father’s Social Security checks and depositing them in his own account. As part of the plea deal for Joseph Vaske, 34, the state will make no sentencing recommendation, so it will be up to Judge Jeffrey Reed to decide. The charge does not require a mandatory prison sentence. He must also pay a $147,481.01 restitution. Sentencing was set for Jan. 13 after a pre-sentence investigation is complete. He has been out on bond and continued to be Friday. During a previous hearing, Tiffany Najmulski, an agent with the attorney general’s office, testified that she initially became involved in the financial investigation at the request of the Wapakoneta Police Department and said the case involved Vaske’s father’s Social Security checks. The indictment alleges the thefts occurred between Sept. 9, 2016, and Aug. 2, 2019. Reach Charlotte Caldwell at 567-242-0451.McGhie also added seven rebounds for the Tritons (3-2).

The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi convened on Sunday with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy Mahmoud Esmat, and Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi to review the latest developments in the electricity sector. The Presidency’s official spokesperson reported that the President was updated on the government’s plans to secure the electricity sector’s requirements for petroleum products and ensure the steady supply of gas to the national grid. These efforts aim to maintain the stability and sustainability of electricity across the country while minimizing losses. During the meeting, the President was briefed on initiatives to bolster local petroleum production. These include the development of newly discovered wells, plans to accelerate their production, and strategies to intensify exploration and research in Egypt’s land and sea territories. Cooperation with international companies and local investors to enhance production, alongside measures to increase the sector’s attractiveness to investors, were also highlighted. President Al-Sisi instructed the government to intensify its efforts in attracting investments to the energy sector, ensuring the sector achieves its goals and maximizes its role in national development. He emphasized the importance of enhancing the management and operation of the national gas network to ensure a sustainable supply of energy to the electricity grid as well as industrial and service sectors. The President also called for accelerating the implementation of renewable energy projects, focusing on diversifying energy sources, expanding the electricity grid’s capacity, and leveraging advanced technologies for optimal energy absorption and transmission. According to the spokesperson, the meeting included an update on various ongoing projects, particularly the Dabaa nuclear plant. This project, pivotal to Egypt’s comprehensive development plans, aligns with the state’s integrated and sustainable energy strategy, which seeks to diversify renewable and new energy sources while improving service quality for citizens. The discussion also covered progress on electrical interconnection projects between Egypt and Saudi Arabia. These projects aim to enhance the stability and efficiency of electrical networks and optimize generation capacity during peak demand periods. President Al-Sisi stressed the importance of expediting the implementation of energy projects as a cornerstone of Egypt’s development. He also underscored the need to adhere to the timeline for the Dabaa nuclear plant while ensuring top-tier implementation standards and high-quality training of personnel for its operation and maintenance.
