From the Western Standard, here's your news update.

I'm your host, Western Standard Chief Editor Dave Naylor, and here's what you need to know.

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.
00:00:33.000
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.

It's going to be put to the test next year when the World Cup is played in Canada.

The IOC is set to ban all trans athletes from the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

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.
