Why are you even in a Star Trek community right now? The pressing issues are being discussed elsewhere and surely you wouldn't want to miss it.

Gladu's defection brings the Liberals up to 171 seats, short of the 172 needed for a slim majority.

Not sure if it's up-to-date, but the Wikipedia page for the House of Commons says 3 seats are vacant out of 343 total, so the Liberals actually have a majority of the 340 seats that are occupied.

Ceasefire also includes Lebanon, Israeli news site reports

Israel's Ynet is reporting that the ceasefire also includes Lebanon.

Citing security sources, the website said the ceasefire includes both Israel and Hezbollah laying down their weapons. It did not provide further details.

Israel is onboard with the ceasefire, too. Haven't they done a fair bit of firing during the Gaza ceasefire(s)?

There has been speculation that he's going to retire after the Supreme Court's current term so Trump can appoint a replacement before midterms.

Just the three big revenue streams that Houston cancelled — $272.4 million for HST (that benefits those with the money to allow them to be big spenders), $160 million for income tax bracket changes, $40 million for bridge tolls (that primarily benefit people in HRM but have to be made up for by everyone in the province) — add up to $472.4 million.

The cuts save the provincial government just $304.9 million.

With the tolls now gone, the province is budgeting $120.1 million for Halifax Harbour Bridges.

No matter how you slice and dice it all, the fact is that Houston-the-professional-accountant seems to have badly messed up the province’s accounts.
