Ukraine must be in strong position for negotiations, Starmer saysArticle content OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he agrees with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on one thing: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are too weak to fight for Canadians. Recommended Videos Poilievre kicked off debate in the House of Commons Thursday on a cheekily worded Conservative motion designed to use Singh’s own words against him. The motion quotes some of Singh’s harshest language against the Liberal government along with his staunch support for organized labour. Poilievre told the House his non-confidence motion will afford MPs the chance to vote on the “wise things that he said” when it’s expected to come up next week. He said if Singh votes against it, that means “he does not want to take responsibility” for his words and have voters “judge his record and his plans.” The Conservative opposition motion quotes Singh accusing the Liberals of being “too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people,” and that the Liberals will always ensure “unions have no power” by stepping in to stop labour disputes. That came after Ottawa’s recent interventions to end disruptions by striking rail and port workers by asking the Canada Industrial Relations Board to intervene. But Singh has said he won’t play Conservative games and will vote against the motion. RECOMMENDED VIDEO In the back-and-forth, NDP MP Matthew Green scoffed at Poilievre’s remarks and accused him of cosplaying as a supporter of organized labour. At one point, Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen accused Poilievre of using a prop, which is against House rules, to troll the Liberals. As Poilievre held onto his speaking notes, he had conspicuously placed at the bottom of the stack of papers a New York Times article featuring a large photo of Foreign Minister Melanie Joly and a headline suggesting she could be Trudeau’s successor. But it wasn’t just the Conservatives playing tactical parliamentary shenanigans on Thursday. A surprise move by the NDP forced a debate on abortion access to delay the Conservative motion and siphon away House of Commons airtime on it Thursday. Ahead of Poilievre’s motion coming up, NDP MP Heather McPherson suddenly seized the parliamentary remote control and changed the channel by springing a debate on a Foreign Affairs Committee report tabled in the House. McPherson also used the report, about Canada’s global assistance for sexual and reproductive health rights, to pivot to domestic abortion issues by accusing the Conservatives of being beholden to abortion opponents and the Liberals of failing to protect access to services. “The Liberals are too weak to stand up to premiers — those conservatives premiers — who are restricting access to women’s health care,” she said. When the Tories attempted to return to the regular scheduled programming, the Liberals and NDP ganged up and voted against them, further delaying the Conservative motion. The Tories charged that the NDP had hijacked the House agenda to protect Singh from a tough spot. Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer said it was a “desperate attempt to limit debate” through a “procedural trick.” The Liberal government will face a raft of opposition motions in the coming days, typically a raucous and intensely partisan time in Parliament before MPs head home for the winter holiday break. The Conservatives have two more opposition days to introduce motions in addition to the one tabled Thursday, and the NDP has one.Shehbaz to attend D-8 Summit on 19th
Personalized Gifts Market to Grow by USD 14.98 Billion (2024-2028), Driven by New Product Innovations, AI Driving Market Transformation - TechnavioBy Jeff Mason and Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Barack Obama, who has largely stayed quiet in the weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris' election loss, will offer advice to a new generation of American leaders on Thursday, telling them it is time to talk to people they disagree with. During a speech at a "Democracy Forum" sponsored by his foundation, the former president plans to discuss the "power of pluralism" with thousands of live and online attendees at a deeply divided time in U.S. history and an unsettling one for Democrats as Republican Donald Trump returns to the White House. While Obama, 63, remains in high demand to campaign for his fellow Democrats, some in the party are calling for a crop of younger leaders to take the baton after Harris lost every battleground state and the popular vote and Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. "I think he'd be the first to agree," David Axelrod, former senior adviser to Obama, told Reuters. "I think he would say he's run his race and we need others to step up." "Time marches on, and I think that he would say ... we need a whole array of leaders, and there are young leaders in the Democratic Party who are dynamic and very much in touch with the times who can step up and play a big role." November's disappointing results for Democrats, including support eroding among working-class and Latino voters, sparked an angry blame game inside the party and an effort by some to push for fresh talent. "I've always been an advocate for a new generation of leadership in the party and I think that people are yearning for that," Representative Seth Moulton, a Democrat from Massachusetts, told Reuters. "It doesn't mean that the Obama magic is totally gone, but Obama's not going to be a future president. Obama's not running for Senate. We need to hear from newer voices that can better represent the fears and struggles that Americans face today." Obama and his wife Michelle campaigned around the country and remain enormously popular within the party base, wielding influence behind the scenes through fundraising and a deep network of allies and former staff. But despite fundraising success and resonant speeches, Obama was unable to help propel Harris to victory this year. Democratic nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also failed to win the presidency in 2016 despite his backing. Advisers from his one-time inner circle who joined Harris' campaign after President Joe Biden stepped aside are drawing fire for failing to admit any mistakes in how they handled the 2024 cycle. A day after the Nov. 5 election, the Obamas issued a statement congratulating Trump and said "progress requires us to extend good faith and grace - even to people with whom we deeply disagree." Obama made history as the first Black president of the United States and racked up comfortable margins of victory over his Republican opponents when he ran: more than seven percentage points in 2008 and nearly four in 2012. But American politics has changed since then, some strategists say. "His two wins do seem that much more remarkable in retrospect, given how much of the coalition that Republicans have built around Trump has been around racial politics," said Jeff Timmer, chief operating officer of the Lincoln Project, a political consulting group of former Republicans opposed to Trump who worked to elect Harris and Biden before her. Obama campaigned heavily for Biden, who won in 2020, but his words on the campaign trail this year backfired at least once. At a stop in Pennsylvania, he seemed to lecture Black men over their reluctance to vote for a woman, drawing criticism from some Black activists. Down-ballot demand for the former president this year was high, though. Democratic congressional candidates such as Senator-elect Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Senator-elect Ruben Gallego of Arizona sought Obama's help, got it, and won. "Is this the ultimate turning the page on the Obama years? Maybe," said Michael Feldman, a communications consultant and former adviser to Al Gore, reflecting on the 2024 election. "Will he still be and will she (Mrs. Obama) still be the two most popular figures within the party for the foreseeable future? The answer is absolutely."

Get Me Out of Here! final four have been revealed. The King or Queen of the Jungle for 2024 will be announced at the end of Sunday night's episode on December 8. Celebs who have already been given the boot include Loose Women star Jane Moore and radio presenters Dean McCullough and Melvin Odoom. N-Dubz singer Tulisa, Love Island star Maura Higgins and boxing champion Barry McGuigan also left the jungle this week after being voted out by the public. So that left WAG Coleen Rooney , social media GK Barry, Strictly dancer Oti Mabuse, broadcaster Reverend Richard Coles, Corrie star Alan Halsall and McFly's Danny Jones remaining. But in another double elimination tonight Alan and GK left the camp, meaning the final four who will be heading into the final are Oti, Coleen, Danny and Richard. Former Strictly dancer and Dancing on Ice judge Oti was already immune from tonight's public vote after winning a Golden ticket through to the Celebrity Cyclone after pressing the golden buzzer in the Battle Blocks challenge. It saw each celebrity placed inside one of four game play areas. Within each of these areas were 10 battle blocks. To win the trial they needed to find all 10 blocks and remove them, placing them into a grid in front of them to make a perfect rectangle. The first to fit all of their battle blocks into the grid in front of them and run and press the golden buzzer would be the winner. Oti was up against Maura, Danny and Coleen but burst out of her game play area and ran to press the golden buzzer, as golden confetti burst into the air and she jumped up and down celebrating. Impressed, Dec yelled: "Oti! That was incredible!" as Ant said: "Absolutely brilliant." The moment then came for Dec to hand Oti the coveted golden ticket. Not only does this guarantee her a place in the Celebrity Cyclone, she is also immune from the next two public vote offs. This meant Oti had an automatic place in the final four. A very happy Oti grinned as she joked: "It feels amazing, I’ve got to wash my underwear more now!" So this year's I'm A Celebrity winner will be between Oti, Coleen, Rev Richard or Danny. Fans will have to tune in on Sunday night to find out who will take the 2024 jungle crown! *I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues on ITV1 or catch up on ITVX Do you have a story to share?
