    Immigration lawyers say they are seeing a 50 per cent surge in Americans living in Canada looking to renounce their U.S. citizenship. Campbell River, B.C.’s Jennifer Doxey and her family are among them. “I’m just so embarrassed by what my country has become,” she told CTV News. Doxey, who grew up in Ohio, met her husband who had dual citizenship, in 2003. Five years later, they decided to raise their children in Canada. “Living in the States is nothing like what we see portrayed in television shows,” she said. “I have no intention of ever going back to the states.”

    Honduras has threatened to shut down rent-free United States military bases in the country if President-elect Donald Trump carries out his mass deportation policy. President Xiomara Castro said officials would consider "a change in our policies of cooperation with the United States, especially in the military arena," in the face of "unnecessary reprisals against our migrants." Honduran President Xiomara Castro has cautioned that she could consider ending military cooperation with the United States if President-elect Trump follows through on his proposals for mass deportations, rejecting asylum claims, and separating families at the U.S.-Mexico border. Castro issued the warning in a...

    MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s government on Monday signaled that it planned to hit back with trade restrictions of its own if President-elect Donald J. Trump followed through on his threats to impose sky-high tariffs on Mexican exports to the United States. “If you put 25 percents tariffs on me, I have to react with tariffs,” Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico’s economy minister, told a radio interviewer on Monday. “Structurally, we have the conditions to play in Mexico’s favor,” he added. “A tariff war doesn’t end well,” said Valeria Moy, the general director of the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness, an economic research institute....

    Legendary musician Quincy Jones has died. He was 91. Jones’ publicist, Arnold Robinson, confirmed to PEOPLE that he died on Sunday, Nov. 3 at his home in Los Angeles, surrounded by his family. The news was first reported by the Associated Press. “Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the family said in a statement. “And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.” "He is truly one of a...
  • Are you ready for ‘Kamalanomics?’

    The Hill ^ | 08/13/2024 | Merrill Matthews
    What are the economic policies being proposed by Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee? We don’t actually know what “Kamalanomics” looks like because the veep has been more focused on offering platitudes with attitude. Will Kamalanonics be similar to Bidenomics? Or is it just Bidenomics on steroids? So far, her campaign website has zero policy proposals, so that’s no help. But you can buy a Harris-Walz camo hat the media have been effusing over. Wait until someone tells the candidates that “camo” is short for camouflage, which is something typically worn by hunters and soldiers who carry…guns. Probably...

The company… By Maxwell Zeff On Friday, Google and real estate group Lendlease called off plans to build 15,000 homes in the San Francisco Bay Area, as housing developers continue to exit the troubled region. Google and Lendlease mutually ended a $15 billion agreement that was made in 2019 to build residential and retail space in Sunnyvale, San Jose, and Mountain View, where the search engine is headquartered. The plans for San Jose’s ‘Downtown West’ included 4,000 affordable homes, office space for 20,000...

    Sears was on “Cavuto: Coast to Coast” on Thursday discussing whether Trump needs to step aside. “Voters have spoken, and they have said that they want a different leader. And a true leader understands when they have become a liability,” Sears said. “A true leader understands that it’s time to step off the stage, and the voters have given us that very clear message. Because this is about America.” “So if the party wants to move on or some in the party such as yourself, Lt. Governor, maybe Gov. Youngkin feels the same way, but Donald Trump still makes a...

    The D.C.

William Walker told lawmakers on the Senate Rules Committee and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee at a hearing evaluating the security breakdown that occurred when a pro-Trump mob attacked the Capitol. “My next call would have been to my subordinate commanders, to get every single guardsman in this building and...

    SF Gate ^ | Oct. 13, 2021 | Op/Ed
    This week, San Francisco is expected to once again ease certain indoor mask mandates for portions of the adult population. Mayor London Breed has celebrated this news “because it will allow offices to have more normal routines and interactions.” Noticeably lacking in the new guidance is any update for school and child care mask mandates or even any acknowledgement that kids might also need more normal routines and interactions. Considering they are in peak development years, children need these things even more than adults. It’s not as if mask relief for kids couldn’t safely become a reality. In fact, Mayor...

    Hundreds of birds migrating through New York City this week died after crashing into the city’s glass towers, a mass casualty event spotlighted by a New York City Audubon volunteer’s tweets showing the World Trade Center littered with bird carcasses. This week’s avian death toll was particularly high, but bird strikes on Manhattan skyscrapers are a persistent problem that NYC Audubon has documented for years, said Kaitlyn Parkins, the group’s associate director of conservation and science. Stormy weather Monday night into Tuesday contributed to the deaths, she said. “We had a big storm and sort of weird weather and lots...

    The National Institutes of Health said it was reviewing the removal of genetic data about the Covid-19 virus from an agency-run archive after a scientist raised concerns about the episode earlier this summer. The data—a series of gene sequences from coronavirus samples obtained from Covid-19 patients in Wuhan in January and February 2020—could hold clues about the origin of the pandemic. The sequences were deleted from the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) last year at the request of one of the Wuhan University researchers who had originally provided them—a move that three Republican U.S. senators questioned in June in a sternly...

    In the latest sign that California is returning to its traditions from before the COVID-19 pandemic, on Saturday morning, thousands of people are expected to turn out at beaches across the state to pick up litter as part of the 37th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day. Last year the cleanup — which is the state’s largest volunteer event — was largely cancelled due to the pandemic, with no group events. About 17,500 people reported picking up 170,000 pounds of trash on their own last year, a drop of about 80% from normal years, when as many as 80,000 people have...

    In the past month, four emergency room nurses ... have quit at the Eureka hospital where Matt Miele works. Around California — and the nation — nurses are trading in high-pressure jobs for a career change, early retirement or less demanding assignments, leading to staffing shortages in many hospitals. But burnout isn’t the only thing compounding California’s nursing shortage: The state’s new vaccine mandate for health care workers is already causing headaches for understaffed hospitals before it is even implemented. Some traveling nurses — who are in high demand nationwide — are turning down California assignments because they don’t want...
