00:00:00.000 From the Western Standard, here's your news update.
00:00:08.020 I'm your host, Western Standard Chief Editor Dave Naylor, and here's what you need to know.
00:00:14.020 Leading our site right now is an opinion column from Jeremy Borg.
00:00:18.340 He looks at the crossing of the floor of former Tory Chris D'Anthremont,
00:00:23.500 and basically the fact that he lied when describing details of his move to the Liberal Party.
00:00:30.000 I didn't find I was represented there.
00:00:33.000 My ideals of an Easterner, of a red Tory, I mean quite honestly,
00:00:38.540 of trying to find ways to find solutions and help your community,
00:00:43.000 rather than trying to oppose everything that's happening.
00:00:46.020 And I think that's the opportunity that's being offered by Prime Minister Carney
00:00:50.320 and the Government Caucus, is to help find solutions at this critical time for Canada.
00:00:55.580 Staying in Ottawa, Ottawa has taken steps to limit what their staff members can watch while they're on duty.
00:01:05.560 Netflix has been banned, as has Amazon Prime.
00:01:09.580 Instagram is gone, as is YouTube.
00:01:12.860 It's going to be put to the test next year when the World Cup is played in Canada.
00:01:16.720 We'll see how many civil servants take some time off the job. 0.91
00:01:22.400 The IOC is set to ban all trans athletes from the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
00:01:30.140 You'll remember the Paris Games and that Algerian boxer,
00:01:34.340 who was basically a male, beating the hell out of all his female opponents to claim gold.
00:01:40.180 That seems to be the thing that has turned the tide on trans athletes.
00:01:46.560 In health news, Canada has lost its measles elimination status.
00:01:51.780 This according to the World Health Organization.
00:01:55.600 The fact that measles is back in Canada has been led by outbreaks in Ontario and Alberta
00:02:00.580 that have seen two babies who caught the disease in utero sadly pass away.
00:02:06.220 And our Jared Yager, who's a youthful guy to begin with,
00:02:11.880 has a column saying that the youth will rule the future.
00:02:15.980 Well, it's kind of stating the obvious, I guess,
00:02:18.140 but he looks at elections recently of Mandami in New York
00:02:21.920 and says the youth is rising as one and they hold the future in their hands.
00:02:27.500 Jared, I guess that remains to be seen.
00:02:30.920 And that's it for now.
