Trump pardons turkeys in traditional ceremony with jokes about Biden

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump participated in a turkey pardoning ceremony at the White House Tuesday before departing for Florida, where they will spend the Thanksgiving holiday.

JD Vance takes a shot at CBC and Canada's 'immigration insanity'

'Your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame,' Vance said on X

The comments by the U.S. Vice President came in response to a post on X about Canada’s declining living standards. The original post featured a graph created by IceCap Asset Management that showed the change in GDP per person for the U.K., the U.S. and Canada.

“While I’m sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into ‘diversity is our strength, we don’t need a melting pot we have a salad bowl’ immigration insanity than Canada,” Vance said on X.

Two years in jail for any Canadian caught 'condoning, denying, downplaying or justifying' Indian residential schools

Last week, the House of Commons completed its first reading of Bill C-254, a private members’ bill introduced by the NDP’s Leah Gazan that would criminalize “residential school denialism.”

As the bill’s text states, any Canadian found to be “condoning, denying, downplaying or justifying the Indian residential school system” could be punished with up to two years in jail.

Supreme Court takes up transgender school athlete bans

The Supreme Court agreed Thursday to decide whether states can ban transgender athletes from competing on girls and women’s school sports teams.

The justices said they would hear appeals from Republican leaders in Idaho and West Virginia defending their state bans. A decision is expected by next summer.

The move sets up another major dispute over transgender rights before the conservative-majority court that recently upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
