As Trump Pushes Canada Away, China Finds an Opening
New polling from the Angus Reid Institute is shining a light on how Canadians feel about our relationships around the world, and in particular, how Canadians are feeling towards China today. Off the top, the relationship with our southern neighbours continues to hit new lows, with only 25% of Canadians having a favourable view of Americans, while 71% view them unfavourably. Whether or not the recent midterm win will help improve Canadian views of the US remains to be seen.
It looks like the Trump administration shredding party/coverup has begun
Glenn Kirschner shared a live video on November 11, discussing what he describes as the beginning of a cover-up related to the Trump administration. He highlighted concerns about potential evidence destruction, referencing past actions that suggest a pattern of behavior. He pointed out that this could lead to significant legal implications for those involved. Kirschner also mentioned ongoing investigations into the administration's conduct, emphasizing the importance of accountability. The conversation reflects a growing sentiment that the legal landscape surrounding Trump is becoming increasingly complex, with various players potentially facing scrutiny for their roles.
Russian paraglider trapped in power lines, rescued in Himachal
A Russian paraglider in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, who got entangled in high-tension electricity wires over 100 metres above the ground, was rescued after a 3-hour-long operation on Tuesday (November 11, 2026), police said. The incident occurred near Tandu, when Alexey (48) took off from Bir Billing and got stuck in the wires mid-flight. Following the incident, he immediately sent pictures of his location to the Bir Billing Paragliding Association to seek help. The association then alerted the district administration and dispatched rescue teams to the location.
Exclusive: Trump Insiders Say Miller’s ‘Reign of Terror’ Could Destroy White House
Sources from both Capitol Hill and within the Trump White House are raising concerns about Stephen Miller’s new role as chief of staff, suggesting it could lead to chaos in the administration. Insiders describe Miller as a divisive figure, with one staffer calling his leadership a “reign of terror.” Many Republicans are worried that his hardline immigration stance contributed to recent electoral losses and are questioning his ability to effectively manage the White House.
The fallout from a recent blunder involving a job offer to UFC CEO Dana White is being attributed to Miller, with some insiders claiming it highlights the lack of guidance in the administration. Republican Congressman Marlin Stutzman has publicly criticized the decision to appoint Miller, suggesting it could alienate Latino voters.
On the policy front, the White House is sticking to its unpopular tariff agenda despite recent election results that showed voter discontent with high prices. Former economic advisor Gary Cohn has called the tariffs a burden on consumers, a sentiment echoed by recent polling data indicating that a significant majority of voters want Congress to repeal them.
Additionally, Trump’s nominee for FDA chief, Heidi Overton, faces an uphill battle for confirmation, especially after the GOP's midterm losses. With key Republican senators no longer in office, her path to approval is uncertain, and time is running out before the new Democratic majority takes over in January.
