Gasperini: ‘Many positives for Atalanta, close to Real Madrid equaliser’Article content This is a Shark Tank or Dragon’s Den pitch that has many Canadians divided on whether they are in or out. Canada’s own Mr. Wonderful says he’s ready to jump a flight to Mar-a-Lago in Florida to start a conversation with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump that will help both countries be the economic powerhouse of the world. “I can be there within 48 hours,” Kevin O’Leary told the Toronto Sun on Friday. “As soon as I get an invitation, I will head down there.” Needless to say, the Shark Tank star and famous investor and financial commentator turned a lot of heads with his recent appearance on FOX News where he broached a new idea for Canada and the United States to consider moving forward with. There's 41 million Canadians sitting on the world's largest amounts of all resources, including the most important, energy and water. Canadians over the holidays have been talking about this. They want to hear more. What this could be is the beginning of an economic union. Think... pic.twitter.com/yp5PuLgxZJ No invitation to West Palm Beach so far. But he has taken some heat from critics over his idea – lots of it. “I am getting hammered on it, but I love it,” O’Leary said. “That is fantastic because it means people are talking about it.” Whether you love the idea of having discussion or hate it, many are aware things are not working well for regular Canadians right now. In Canada, it's pretty hard to be hated more than Justin Trudeau is, but I think Kevin O'Leary has pulled it off. Even before the reaction from those saying O’Leary is talking about selling out Canada, the former Dragon’s Den star was very clear that this would never be anything of the sort. I talked to him about that and he was adamant Canada will still be Canada but without the red tape that keeps Canadians from prospering. And finding a way to avoid a 25% tariff. “What this could be is the beginning of an economic union,” said O’Leary. “That’s what I was talking about. Think about the power of combining the two economies and erasing the border between Canada and the United States.” It would make Canada one of the most powerful economies in the world, O’Leary said. One currency, no border, no tariffs, no state or provincial taxes, one military, and all systems going in the same direction for the prosperity of all. Hard No. The biggest losers I have met in my life are those who have had some blessing in business and who think they are smarter than others. Kevin, you’re not that smart. You’re loud. And quite obnoxious. Keep your ideas to yourself. Ps- you pulled that stat on “half of... https://t.co/FabYaGzUyt “It’s not crazy,” he said. “(If we) end up with a common currency like they have in Europe where every Canadian would get a dollar at par our adversaries would (lose). We could crush them like cockroaches.” “We could have some much power: economic power, military power, resources power and everything. I am really attracted to this deal and I know many Canadians are too,” O’Leary added. All of this comes following Trump’s social media trolling of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, teasing that Canada could become a 51st state and that if he doesn’t remain as its “governor” perhaps Wayne Gretzky could take the job. Donald Trump says he urged Wayne Gretzky to run for prime minister in Christmas visit https://t.co/fw7ftydLWA O’Leary, however, says that underneath the rhetoric what is really happening is both sides understanding the world is changing in favour China becoming the dominate economy in the years ahead – something that could be thwarted with a new business relationship between the two best friends, Canada and America. “We are not talking about giving up Canada,” he said. “We are talking about an economic partnership.” That partnership could come with dollar parity, security arrangements, no trade tariffs of traditional border taxation or restrictions, and if Canadians wanted to set up a business in the U.S., they could just as much as Americans could do so in Canada. “It would be the introduction of an economic union,” O’Leary said. “With our resources, it would put both countries in the powerhouse position of the world.” The only thing O’Leary wouldn’t want to see is it be Prime Minister Justin Trudeau negotiating whatever comes next. This is carrying the ‘joke’ too far: the casual disrespect, the poor tax math, and ignoring that workers on both sides of our border will be better off if we work together. Time to call it out, stand up for Canada, and build a true North American partnership 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 https://t.co/BO4zEMrk0B “Trudeau has been such a bad manager,” said O’Leary. “We can’t rid of that guy fast enough ... nobody wants Trudeau to negotiate this deal. I don’t want him doing it for me, so I’m going to go to Mar-a-Lago” and “I’ll start the narrative.” He said he’s prepared to float the concept but would “let the next government” negotiate it. “I know I have no position of authority,” said O’Leary. Would you support Canada becoming the 51st US State? A. Yes B. No pic.twitter.com/6OhFXXwYMH But he knows Trump and he has been the Mar-a-Lago before – and they do speak the same language of business. “President Trump is a good guy,” said O’Leary. “He’s a transactional guy.” While many Canadians are not as enthusiastic as O’Leary is about such a concept, the Canadian businessman known all over the United States has heard from many who are. “There’s 41 million Canadians sitting on the world’s largest amounts of all resources, including the most important, energy and water,” he said. “Canadians over the holidays have been talking about this. They want to hear more.” Stayed tuned – because if Trump invites him down for a chat, perhaps there will be a lot of eyes and ears on this. “He is having some fun with this thing,” O’Leary said of Trump trolling Trudeau. “But it doesn’t mean there isn’t a good kernel of an idea here.” And it’s an idea he’s convinced will make Canadians a lot richer than they are currently under the carbon tax government, which has stifled Canada’s economy to a point when Canadians are finding themselves going to foodbanks and buried in debt. jwarmington@postmedia.comTrump touts tariffs, mass deportations, Nato skepticism in TV interview

US prosecutors move to dismiss federal criminal cases against president-elect Donald Trump

Caroline Adejube set to release ‘The Debutante’AP News Summary at 6:33 p.m. ESTKamala Harris Considering Another Presidential Run in 2028, Tells Allies She's 'Staying in the Fight': ReportThis year’s electoral rhetoric exposed the deep fissures in our body politic, leaving many feeling disillusioned and even fractured. In this moment of potential discord, people of faith have a profound opportunity to model a different path forward — one anchored in the timeless principles of civility, justice and a fierce commitment to our nation’s highest ideals. In all their glorious diversity, many religious traditions share a common bedrock: the inherent worth and dignity of every human being, created in the image of the Divine. This sacred truth must be the north star guiding interactions, especially with those we disagree with. Civility isn’t about avoiding the tough conversations or pretending our differences don’t exist. It’s about engaging in those conversations with respect, empathy, and an open heart and mind. It’s about recognizing that our political opponents aren’t our enemies but fellow travelers on this Earth, deserving of our compassion and understanding. But make no mistake, my friends, civility is only the first step. Justice is the backbone of any truly moral society and demands our unwavering commitment. The Hebrew prophets railed against injustice, Jesus lifted the marginalized and Muhammad taught that true belief compels us to desire for others what we want for ourselves. These aren’t dusty relics of the past; they’re a blazing call to action in the present. In a post-election America where many feel their voices have been silenced or their rights threatened, people of faith ought to model righteousness. People of faith are expected to advocate for policies that promote equity, accessibility and the common good. An imperative of major faith expressions is to stand in solidarity with the vulnerable, poor and estranged. Remember that justice isn’t a zero-sum game, where one person’s gain requires another’s loss — and creating a world where all can flourish, as the prophets envisioned. Yet justice, even paired with civility, still needs a shared commitment to the nation’s social contract. A contract, enshrined in our founding documents, is a sacred trust between generations — an agreement to uphold the principles of liberty, democracy and the rule of law. It is the glue that binds us together as one people, “E pluribus unum,” even as we celebrate our differences. In the aftermath of an election, this contract is tested. It is easy to feel tempted to retreat into our respective corners and question the legitimacy of those who disagree with us. However, people of faith are bound by different ethics. Accountable to a higher call and standard. A model committed to upholding the social contract, even when it’s hard. We must engage in the political process with integrity and respect the outcomes even as we continue to advocate for our values. We are reminding ourselves and others that a single election doesn’t define our national identity but our enduring ideals. That is why all are invited to pray. Pray for the grace of civility. Pray for the courage to pursue justice for the vulnerable and champion the marginalized. Pray that we may remain one people united by our shared commitment to liberty, democracy and the rule of law. In the aftermath of this election, let us not be a force for further division but a balm to the nation’s wounds. For in doing so, we may help bring about the beloved community that has always been America’s promise — a community where all can thrive, where justice rolls down like a mighty stream, and where every person, regardless of their beliefs or background, is treated with the dignity and respect they deserve as children of God.

AP News Summary at 1:24 p.m. ESTIsrael launches new airstrikes on Lebanon as leaders draw closer to a ceasefire with Hezbollah

TEHRAN - The Israeli regime makes the most of the instability in Syria to expand its expansionist project. As insecurity and a power vacuum emerged in the Arab state after armed groups took control of state institutions, the Israelis seized on the crisis. Israeli tanks were seen crossing into the outskirts of the southeastern Syrian province of Quneitra on Sunday, with shelling heard in the area. The Israeli occupation forces also dispatched infantry to a buffer zone in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, the regime’s military confirmed on Sunday. The occupation army said it would remain in Syrian territory for “as long as necessary” Hebrew media reported that Unit 5101, more commonly known as Shaldag, has reached the summit of Syria’s Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights. Analysts have said the land grab signals new Israeli ambitions to occupy and annex large parts of Syria after the fall of its government. It is the first time Israeli forces have taken up positions beyond the buffer zone since it was established in 1974. The regime further exploited the crisis in Syria with airstrikes on key sites. Israel’s air raids on the Mazzeh district of the capital, Damascus, with explosions heard in the vicinity. Separately, regional intelligence sources told news agencies that Israeli fighter jets targeted the Syrian air base of Khalkhala in southern Syria. By Sunday evening, Israeli warplanes bombarded more Syrian army sites in Damascus. The lightening developments in Syria have sparked widespread comment across Israeli politics. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the fall of President Assad as a “historic day.” “This of course creates new, very important opportunities for Israel,” he said. Opposition leader Yair Lapid said they showed why “it is more important than ever to create a strong regional coalition, with Saudi Arabia and the countries of the Abraham Accords, to work together”. “The Iranian axis has weakened significantly, and Israel needs to strive for an overall political achievement,” he added. Other Israeli politicians called on the government in Tel Aviv to take control of the entire Golan Heights. Government minister Amichai Chikli wrote in a social media post that there must be a new Israeli “defense zone” at the 1974 ceasefire line. A member of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, Tzvi Succot, echoed those comments, saying this measure would be “immense” during a time when the political and military cost “is likely lower than ever”. Meanwhile, former Israeli military intelligence officer Lieutenant Colonel, Mordechai Kedar, was interviewed on Sunday by Hebrew media, Kan Reshet Bet, where he claimed: “I am in contact with the rebels in Syria and I have passed a detailed list of equipment they requested from Israel to senior officials in the country. The rebels are willing to sign a peace agreement with Israel, only if they control Syria and Lebanon.” The Israeli spy agency, Mossad, was also thrilled with the fall of Homs, a clear sign highlighting how significant this development was to the security of the regime. In a post on social media, a Mossad-affiliated channel wrote: “Homs, the corridor used by Iran to bring weapons to Hezbollah, is no longer active.” The post added: "Amazing". There is no credible evidence that Iran had used the city of Homs to transfer weapons to the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah. Experts say militants operating in Syria had previously received medical treatment at field hospitals in the occupied Golan as well as in the Israeli city of Safed. Time will tell what the intentions of this latest mixture of armed groups are. Some have lately vowed to have a more moderate outlook with neighbors in the region and are no longer associated with Daesh and al-Qaeda. Whether this outlook serves Israeli interests is a key factor as most countries in West Asia believe the Israeli regime is the source of instability in the region.

Luigi Mangione , the suspected shooter in the murder case of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson , was frustrated with the "corporation and greed" of the healthcare industry ... this according to his handwritten manifesto. Journalist Ken Klippenstein recently released the manifesto reportedly found on Mangione when he was detained Monday in Altoona, PA . Law enforcement sources have confirmed the text to TMZ. The document, a 262-word letter addressed to "the Feds," comments on a number of topics ... including his issues with the healthcare business, especially UnitedHealthcare. Specifically, Mangione calls out the U.S. for having the "most expensive healthcare system in the world," but being only No. 42 in "life expectancy." LM goes on to call out UnitedHealthcare in particular ... labeling it the "largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart." He adds ... "They continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it." While Mangione apologizes "for any strife" he might've caused, he seemingly hints at the shooting of Thompson, writing, "These parasites simply had it coming." However, he did not name the UnitedHealthcare CEO directly. He did tell the feds he respected "what you do for the country," going on to confirm he worked alone ... highlighting "straggling notes and To Do list that illuminate the gist of it." Mangione ends his note saying this is "not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play" -- but he says he's simply "the first to face it with such brutal honesty." We've reached out to Mangione's lawyer for comment ... so far, no word back.BEIRUT (AP) — Israel's military launched airstrikes across Lebanon on Monday, unleashing explosions throughout the country and killing at least 12 while Israeli leaders appeared to be closing in on a negotiated ceasefire with the Hezbollah militant group. Israeli strikes hit commercial and residential buildings in Beirut as well as in the port city of Tyre. Military officials said they targeted areas known as Hezbollah strongholds. They issued evacuation orders for Beirut's southern suburbs, and strikes landed across the city, including meters from a Lebanese police base and the city's largest public park. The barrage came as officials indicated they were nearing agreement on a ceasefire, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's Security Cabinet prepared to discuss an offer on the table. Airstrikes kill at least 12 Massive explosions lit up Lebanon's skies with flashes of orange, sending towering plumes of smoke into the air as Israeli airstrikes pounded Beirut’s southern suburbs Monday. The blasts damaged buildings and left shattered glass and debris scattered across nearby streets. No casualties were reported after many residents fled the targeted sites. Some of the strikes landed close to central Beirut and near Christian neighborhoods and other targets where Israel had issued evacuation warnings, including in Tyre and Nabatiyeh province. Israeli airstrikes also hit the northeast Baalbek-Hermel region without warning. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Monday that at least 12 people were killed in the strikes in Tyre province, adding to the more than 3,700 people in Lebanon who have been killed since Israel launched its invasion two months ago. Many of those killed since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah have been civilians , and health officials said some of the recovered bodies were so severely damaged that DNA testing would be required to confirm their identities. Israel says it has killed more than 2,000 Hezbollah members. Lebanon's Health Ministry says the war has displaced 1.2 million people. The latest round of airstrikes came weeks after Israeli ground forces invaded southern Lebanon in early October, meeting heavy resistance in a narrow strip of land along the border. The military had previously exchanged attacks across the border with Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group that began firing rockets into Israel the day after the war in Gaza began last year. Lebanese politicians have decried the ongoing airstrikes and said they are impeding U.S.-led ceasefire negotiations. The country's deputy parliament speaker accused Israel of ramping up its bombardment in order to pressure Lebanon to make concessions in indirect ceasefire negotiations with Hezbollah. Elias Bousaab, an ally of the militant group, said Monday that the pressure has increased because “we are close to the hour that is decisive regarding reaching a ceasefire.” Hopes grow for a ceasefire Israeli officials voiced similar optimism Monday about prospects for a ceasefire. Mike Herzog, the country's ambassador to Washington, earlier in the day told Israeli Army Radio that several points had yet to be finalized. Though any deal would require agreement from the government, Herzog said Israel and Hezbollah were “close to a deal." “It can happen within days,” he said. Israeli officials have said the sides are close to an agreement that would include withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and a pullback of Hezbollah fighters from the Israeli border. But several sticking points remain. Two Israeli officials told The Associated Press that Netanyahu’s security Cabinet had scheduled a meeting for Tuesday, but they said it remained unclear whether the Cabinet would vote to approve the deal. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were discussing internal deliberations. Danny Danon, Israel’s U.N. ambassador, told reporters Monday that he expected a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah to have stages and to be discussed by leaders Monday or Tuesday. Still, he warned, “it’s not going to happen overnight.” After previous hopes for a ceasefire were dashed, U.S. officials cautioned that negotiations were not yet complete and noted that there could be last-minute hitches that either delay or destroy an agreement. "Nothing is done until everything is done," White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Monday. The proposal under discussion to end the fighting calls for an initial two-month ceasefire during which Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah would end its armed presence along the southern border south of the Litani River. The withdrawals would be accompanied by an influx of thousands more Lebanese army troops, who have been largely sidelined in the war, to patrol the border area along with an existing U.N. peacekeeping force . Western diplomats and Israeli officials said Israel is demanding the right to strike in Lebanon if it believes Hezbollah is violating the terms. The Lebanese government has said that such an arrangement would authorize violations of the country's sovereignty. A ceasefire could mark a step toward ending the regionwide war that ballooned after Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250 . The lack of a ceasefire has emerged as a political liability for Israeli leaders including Netanyahu, particularly while 60,000 Israelis remain away from their homes in the country's north after more than a year of cross-border violence. Hezbollah rockets have reached as far south into Israel as Tel Aviv. At least 75 people have been killed, more than half of them civilians. More than 50 Israeli soldiers died fighting in the ground offensive in Lebanon. The Israeli military said about 250 projectiles were fired Sunday, with some intercepted. A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, the strongest of Iran’s armed proxies , is expected to significantly calm regional tensions that have led to fears of a direct, all-out war between Israel and Iran. It’s not clear how the ceasefire will affect the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Hezbollah had long insisted that it would not agree to a ceasefire until the war in Gaza ends, but it dropped that condition. While the proposal is expected to be approved if Netanyahu brings it to a vote in his security Cabinet, one hard-line member, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, said he would oppose it. He said on X that a deal with Lebanon would be a “big mistake” and a “missed historic opportunity to eradicate Hezbollah.” If the ceasefire talks fail, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said, “it will mean more destruction and more and more animosity and more dehumanization and more hatred and more bitterness.” Speaking at a G7 meeting in Fiuggi, Italy, the last summit of its kind before U.S. President Joe Biden leaves office, Safadi said such a failure "will doom the future of the region to more conflict and more killing and more destruction.” Federman reported from Jerusalem and Metz from Rabat, Morocco. Associated Press writers Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations, Nicole Winfield in Fiuggi, Italy, and Aamer Madhani in Washington contributed to this report.
