OTTAWA COMMITS $32 BILLION TO FIRST NATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE AND ANOTHER $3 BILLION FOR HEALTH SERVICES
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has announced $32 billion over the next decade for First Nations on-reserve infrastructure and housing, including $18.5 billion for roads, bridges, schools, healthcare facilities and water systems.
An additional $2.9 billion over three years is earmarked for the Non-Insured Health Benefits Program.
Despite the funding commitments, the Assembly of First Nations says considerably more investment is needed, estimating the infrastructure shortfall at approximately $375 billion over the next decade.
Housing shortages, inadequate infrastructure and ongoing drinking water advisories remain major challenges in First Nations communities across Canada.
We all have a pretty good idea who was behind this. Nearly $50,000 worth of lobster taken from the ocean out of season, yet no name released. Apparently, accountability in Canada depends on who you are. Don’t expect much from this investigation.
FISHERY OFFICERS SEIZE 3,806 LOBSTERS IN NOVA SCOTIA ENFORCEMENT OPERATION
MARGARETSVILLE, N.S. — Fishery officers arrested one individual and seized 57 crates containing 3,806 lobsters during an enforcement operation at a storage facility in Margaretsville, Nova Scotia, on October 18.
The individual was arrested for allegedly making a false or misleading statement to a fishery officer.
During an inspection of the seized crates, officers determined that some of the lobsters originated from Lobster Fishing Area (LFA) 29 in Cape Breton, where the commercial lobster fishery is currently closed.
Authorities confirmed that the crates contained 3,311 live lobsters and 495 dead lobsters.
The surviving lobsters were transported back to LFA 29 and released into the ocean.
The seizure raises concerns about the possession and movement of lobster originating from fishing areas outside their authorized commercial seasons.
An investigation remains ongoing, and fisheries officials have indicated that no further details will be released at this time.
No charges or court outcomes have been announced in the information provided.
“Trouble” was originally written and released by Cat Stevens in 1970. But some songs take on a whole new life when another artist gets hold of them. And when Eddie Vedder covers your song, somehow it becomes his.

The majority of real Canadians don’t want mass immigration. We want immigration from the nations our founding ancestors came from, with people who share our values, heritage, and traditions.
Handing out pieces of paper granting citizenship to people from the Third World doesn’t mean they share those values or speak on behalf of Canadians whose families have been here for generations.

WINNIPEG MAN FACES U.S. EXTRADITION OVER ALLEGED $11.5 MILLION COVID LOAN FRAUD
Ajay Singh, a 46-year-old Winnipeg resident and Canadian citizen, is facing extradition to the United States over an alleged $11.5 million USD pandemic relief fraud scheme.
U.S. federal prosecutors allege Singh submitted fraudulent COVID-19 relief loan applications claiming nearly 500 employees across multiple companies, including one reportedly operating from a small office rented for just $450 a month.
Investigators allege that only approximately $5,000 of the millions obtained was spent on legitimate business expenses.
Following an extradition request from U.S. authorities in Wisconsin, Singh was arrested in Canada and later released under strict bail conditions, including surrendering his passport.
His extradition proceedings remain ongoing, and the allegations have not been proven in court.

A Michigan Democrat just endorsed the Republican for Senate two days before the vote, after her own party's nominee told her to stay away. Hard to call that unity.
Carney says he had a good conversation with Trump on trade today, and both sides will spend the next few weeks working toward a deal. Two days before the midterms. Let's see if Ottawa holds the line this time.
More than 100 police officers were injured in Frankfurt after Germany's Gen Z protests turned into a night of looting. Hesse's interior minister says police see the rioters as mostly from a migrant milieu.
Carney says Canada will wait for the next U.S. president if that's what it takes to get a fair trade deal. Better no deal than a bad one. Now build at home so we can actually afford to wait.
