ETY: Decent Performance, But Portfolio Remains Very ConcentratedArticle content Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opened his remarks at the NATO summit in Montreal by condemning the rioting that took place Friday. He then proceeded to tell the audience a bunch of utter nonsense about how important NATO is to his government and how much they are spending on defence. Recommended Videos Still sporting his Taylor Swift friendship bracelet to meet leaders from our military allies, Trudeau tried but failed to sound like a leader with moral clarity and conviction. “What we saw in the violence and the riots on Friday night are absolutely unacceptable,” Trudeau said with a concerned tone in his voice. “As a democracy, as a country that will always defend the freedom of speech, it’s important for people to be able to go out and protest and express their anger their disagreements in free and comfortable ways, but there is never any room for antisemitism, for hatred, for discrimination, violence.” The reason that rings hollow is because there has been plenty of room for antisemitism, displayed weekly on the streets of Canada’s major cities. Week after week, mobs have openly shown support for terrorist groups like Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and most recently Hezbollah, for one basic reason – they are fighting with Israel. “We don’t want no two states, take us back to ‘48,” they proclaim. That’s why Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s response to Trudeau on social media the other day rang so true. Poilievre went on a rant Saturday in response to Trudeau’s initial statement about the riots on social media. “You act surprised. We are reaping what you sowed,” Poilievre wrote. “This is what happens when a Prime Minister spends nine years pushing toxic woke identity politics, dividing and subdividing people by race, gender, vaccine status, religion, region, age, wealth, etc.” Poilievre went on to give examples of Trudeau creating problems in Canada and promising that he will stop the division and heal the country, if elected. You get the sense that Poilievre means what he says, while Trudeau is merely an actor playing a part and repeating the lines provided to him. It was the same during his speech on Monday when he tried to act like the military is important to him, that he’s the saviour of the Canadian military by increasing spending after Stephen Harper’s Conservatives cut it. “Canada believes deeply in NATO,” Trudeau said. That can hardly be considered a true statement, given that we haven’t met our NATO spending targets in years. It was just last year that the Washington Post reported on Pentagon documents, where it was revealed that Trudeau had told other world leaders behind closed doors that his government had no intention of meeting that spending target. Recommended video In his speech on Monday, Trudeau even went out of his way, after praising NATO, to say that he doesn’t believe that the spending target of 2% of GDP is the right way to measure things, even though it has always been the target. He even took time at an international conference to say that the previous Harper government cut military spending, while the Trudeau Liberals have been increasing spending. There’s some truth to that, spending is up, but Trudeau let spending decline in the first few years he was in power. According to the public accounts, the official record of government spending, Canada spent less on defence in fiscal year 2016-17 than we had in 2014-15, the last full year of the Harper government. Beyond that, in 2014-15, defence spending accounted for 7.3% of all government program spending, dropping to 6.6% in 2016-17 and just 6.3% of program spending in 2023. Trudeau told the crowd that Canada is well on its way to meeting the 2% of GDP NATO target – by 2032-33. The plan has been called into question by the Parliamentary Budget Officer, claiming the government used some dodgy math to get there. The entire speech that Trudeau delivered was about as serious as the friendship bracelet he was sporting. NATO needs Canada to provide real leadership, we won’t get that from Justin Trudeau.

NoneNo one was injured in the break-in, but the home was ransacked, according to a report provided by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Deputies weren't immediately able to determine what items were stolen. A person who is employed by Burrow arrived at the Anderson Township home Monday night to find a shattered bedroom window and the home in disarray. The person called their mother, and then 911 was contacted, according to the report. Deputies reached out to neighbors in an attempt to piece together surveillance footage. “Our investigators are exploring every avenue,” public information officer Kyla Woods said. The homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were broken into in October. In the NBA , Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis had his home broken into Nov. 2 and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr.'s home was burglarized on Sept. 15 while he was at a Minnesota Vikings game. Portis had offered a $40,000 reward for information. Both the NFL and NBA issued security alerts to players after those break-ins, urging them to take additional precautions to secure their homes. In league memos previously obtained by The Associated Press, the NFL said homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.” And the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Some of the burglary groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets, including attempted home deliveries and posing as grounds maintenance or joggers in the neighborhood, according to officials. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflIn German folklore, doppelgängers are considered to be a bad omen whose presence brings about misfortune. It feels all the more fitting then, that amid today's geopolitical conflicts, increasing climate catastrophes and economic uncertainties, we're seemingly hooked on celebrity lookalike contests. It began with actor Timothée Chalamet. In October, hundreds of onlookers turned up at Washington Square Park to watch more than a dozen chocolate-haired 20-somethings jostle for the title of Chalamet's unofficial doppelgänger. The event, organized by YouTuber Anthony Po, ended in a handful of arrests, a $500 fine and an appearance from the Oscar-nominated actor himself. "It was insane," Reed Putman, a Chalamet lookalike contestant, told CNN after the competition . "People were flooding (around you), recording you and taking photos or asking quick questions." After that, things moved quickly. In Ireland, mulleted men compared thighs in 5-inch Gaelic Athletic Association shorts , hoping to have their likeness to Paul Mescal verified by a jumbo cheque for €20 ($21) (a second contest took place at a pub in London, apparently making Mescal the first actor to inspire two competitions). Days later, more young men, this time dressed in pussy-bow blouses and three-strand pearls, piled into London's Soho Square looking to be crowned the best Harry Styles lookalike. Then there was the search for actor Dev Patel's doppelgänger in San Francisco and singer Zayn Malik's in New York. And not since the taping of a "Top Chef" episode has so many apron-wearing men gathered in one place for the Jeremy Allen White competition in Chicago earlier this month. There were cigarettes, farmer's market flowers and yards of fake tattoos — all in reference to paparazzi shots of White as well as his character Carmy Berzatto in "The Bear." Just this past week, Zendaya — because who else? — became what appears to be the first female celebrity to have her own viral lookalike contest in Oakland, California, while one for actor Glen Powell was held over the weekend in Austin, Texas. Thanks to social media, a new competition poster seems to go viral each week, with many awarding a small cash prize and an item associated with the celebrity or celebrity's character (White's lookalike took home a pack of Marlboro Reds, while the organizers of Zendaya's contest threw in a bottle of shampoo and conditioner of a brand that the actor reportedly uses). Like a dog whistle for a particular type of online Gen Z or Millennial, these contests spread like wildfire. But the idea of a lookalike contest is, in fact, a time-honored form of entertainment. In his memoir, Charlie Chaplin Jr. wrote that his famous father had not only entered but came third in his own lookalike competition — held at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood sometime between 1915 and 1921. (Dolly Parton said she also participated in one held of her at a gay bar in Santa Monica decades later. She lost). There were Shirley Temple contests in the 1930s — including one in Sydney, Australia in 1934 and one in 1935 at the Cleveland Food Show, where more than 900 children entered. The event was so popular that the Cleveland organizers reportedly staged three more — one for femme fatale Myrna Loy, one for singer Alice Faye, and one for actor Katharine Hepburn. For the last 40 years, a bar in Key West, Florida, has been staging an annual Ernest Hemingway lookalike competition. But British sociologist and celebrity cultural critic Ellis Cashmore believes there's a reason we're seeing a resurgence of these types of contests now. "I don't think this is a vestige of the Golden Age of Hollywood," he told CNN over the phone. "I think (the most recent ones) capture something that we believe in the 21st century... That biology isn't destiny." To Cashmore, our current society is defined by the idea that "you can potentially do anything and be anything you want to be." "What (the audience) is looking at is a transition in process," he said. "They know this isn't really Harry Styles on stage, but if someone who looks so much like him, could even be him, you're giving someone an indication of just how malleable and changeable we are as human beings. Humanity isn't fixed." There's a chance to build a real community, too, he says. "These lookalike contests provide us with an opportunity to relate and form new relationships with people we might hitherto not know and would never cross paths with and wouldn't even say hello to them in a gym, in a club, in a bar, in a supermarket or anywhere," Cashmore added. "But the fact is, they share a common interest, and that is celebrity." Andy Harmer, professional David Beckham tribute act and founder of Lookalikes, one of the UK's top celebrity impersonator agencies, believes it's more to do with the fact that "humans are interested in all kinds of symmetry." Harmer, who is writing a book on the history of his unique industry, recounts examples of lookalikes in nature: "Stick insects use (similarity) to survive. And some flowers look like bees," he told CNN in a phone interview, referring to the bee orchid which mimics the appearance of a female bee to encourage pollination. "It's a natural thing," he said. His career as Beckham's double hasn't always been smooth sailing, however. "When he (Beckham) got sent off against Argentina (during the 1998 World Cup) everybody knew him, but everybody hated him," Harmer said. "Me and Victoria used to get so much abuse, death threats and stuff," he said, referring to a friend of his who looked like Victoria Beckham. "It was crazy." According to the 2020 Channel 4 documentary, "The World's Most Identical Strangers." it's estimated that one face will have at least seven doppelgänger matches. But Dr. Manel Esteller, the chairman of genetics at the University of Barcelona's School of Medicine, points out that doppelgänger is a relative term. "The perfect ones are the real ones, the monozygotic twins (split from the same embryo) with over 90% similarity," he said over email. "From that point on you can look 85%, 80%, 75% similar to someone. The cut-off point determines the number of so-called "virtual twins" in the world." In 2022, a study in the scientific journal Cell Reports found that lookalikes with no family connection shared genetic variants. If you are genetically blessed with a striking celebrity resemblance, Harmer assures it can become a lucrative career. He has supported himself as Beckham's dead-ringer for 20 years, working with the man himself on ads and even appearing in the 2002 film "Bend it like Beckham." The star of his agency is Denise Ohnona, a Lancashire-born Kate Moss lookalike who has walked the runway for Marine Serre and Vetements at Paris Fashion Week. "She's been very popular this year," he said. "A lot of brands are realizing that lookalikes are actually great... It's quite cost-effective. You're not paying for the amount you would pay for the real one." But is there a psychological impact of having your identity so tightly bound to someone else? There doesn't have to be, Harmer says. "Treat it like fancy dress," he advises. "And don't get too wrapped up in it." And for the latest cohort of victorious lookalikes, Harmer does have one more piece of wisdom: "Contact me because I can turn your looks into money."TORONTO - The co-founders of two of Canada’s top artificial intelligence firms say companies in the country are buzzing with excitement around the technology but turning that enthusiasm into products and tools takes too long. Cohere co-founder Nick Frosst says he has grown used to being approached by Canadian firms wanting to work with AI but they’re slow to actually implement the technology. Frosst says it is hard to pinpoint where that lack of urgency comes from but he thinks part of it is embedded in Canada’s culture. Nicole Janssen, the co-founder of AltaML, has had a similar experience. She says it takes 18 months for companies reaching out to her business to commit to using AI and then another 18 months to start doing something with it. She says the danger in this long lead time is that people get tired of devoting energy and resources to projects that are not immediately giving them a return on their investment and then this work falls to the wayside. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024.

Some MPs who backed the assisted dying Bill have indicated they could consider changing their mind along the process amid concerns over palliative care provision and safeguarding. MPs will be able to suggest amendments to the legislation when it moves into its next parliamentary step, the committee stage, at a date which is yet to be announced. On Friday, MPs voted 330 to 275, majority 55, to approve Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at second reading. Following the historic vote, some MPs have voiced concerns over parts of the Bill that could prevent them opting in its favour at later stages of the process. Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran told the BBC on Saturday that whilst she voted for it, concerns surrounding existing palliative care provision in the UK remained. “I think all of us want this to be a good Bill,” she said. “I would hope that colleagues across the House, especially those who voted for it, reserve the right to vote no at further stages.” She said that arguments against the plans need to be taken “extraordinarily seriously”. Ms Moran said that “the one that I am particularly interested in is palliative care”, and added: “I don’t think we need any further votes in the House to be clear that Parliament’s will is that Government wants them to sort out palliative care.” Senior Conservative MP Sir David Davis – another backer of the Bill – used his Commons speech to ask the Government for more time to scrutinise it, to “give us the time to get this right”. He told the Commons: “I want this Bill to succeed, it’s more important than most bills we have. It can’t be dealt with in five hours and a few hours in committee. “I’m going to vote for it today, but I want the Government to help me be able to vote for a good Bill at the end of this.” Labour MP Chris Webb suggested that his position on the matter may change as the plans move through the process, saying in a statement that he believes “this Bill deserved to progress to the next stage for further robust scrutiny and debate” and he “will consider my position again in the ensuing stages”. Today in Parliament I voted in support of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. This is not a decision I came to lightly. Over recent weeks I have spent a lot of time listening carefully to the views on both sides, from experts, medical professionals and my constituents.... — Chris Webb MP (@ChrisWebbMP) There were three Conservative MPs and 18 Labour MPs for whom no vote was recorded on Friday. SNP MPs did not vote as the matter only applied to England and Wales. There are numerous reasons that an MP may not be able to take part in a vote – such as being abroad or away from Parliament – however, a number have indicated that they intentionally abstained. Josh Fenton-Glynn, the new Labour MP for Calder Valley, said that he had abstained because “as it stands, I don’t think the safeguards are strong enough”. Despite having previously thought that he would “support a Bill like this” he said in a statement on social media he would make his “final decision based on the Bill as it’s written that comes out of the committee stage”. TERMINALLY ILL ADULTS (END OF LIFE) BILLToday I attended the second reading of the terminally ill adults (end of life) bill, proposed by the MP for Spen Valley Kim Leadbeater. I went in to the session still undecided on weather I'd support it keen to listen to arguments from... — Josh Fenton-Glynn MP (@JoshFG) End-of-life care charity Marie Curie had also raised concerns about palliative care and has called for MPs to enshrine a commitment for developing a strategy on the matter into the legislation. They said in a briefing sent to parliamentarians before the second reading that they want an amendment to the legislation that would impose a duty on ministers to develop a strategy to improve palliative and end-of-life care. The charity’s chief executive, Matthew Reed, said that the organisation is “neutral” on the subject of assisted dying, “but what we are absolutely not neutral on is the need to urgently fix end-of-life care”. In a statement after the vote, Mr Reed said: “Warm words won’t fix our broken end-of-life care system. The Bill says nothing about the urgent need to improve existing provision. It says nothing about the postcode lottery for access to end-of-life care, nothing about the funding crisis, and nothing about people spending their final moments in A&E because our health system can’t offer them the care and support they need, in or out of hours.” On Saturday, Mother of the House Diane Abbott had said that she was “worried that vulnerable people will get swept up in the assisted dying route”. Ms Abbott was one of the 275 MPs who voted against the plans in Parliament. Asked why, the MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I am very worried that vulnerable people will get swept up in the assisted dying route, when actually what they really need is access to hospice care and proper end-of-life care.” She said that she has “every sympathy” for other positions, but wants people to “not see supported suicide as the only option” if they have concerns such as being a “burden” or worries about the family finances.

Monthly dividend stocks are a favourite among passive-income investors. These offer consistent and predictable cash flow, perfect for budgeting or reinvesting. Unlike quarterly dividends, monthly payouts align well with most people’s expenses, which tend to come monthly. This predictability is especially appealing for retirees or anyone seeking regular income without needing to dip into their capital. So, where to look? Sienna stock ( ) stands out as a compelling long-term choice among monthly dividend stocks. The dividend stock operates in the essential senior housing and sectors. A field poised for growth as Canada’s aging population drives demand for these services. SIA’s commitment to its dividend program, coupled with its steady operational performance, makes it an attractive dividend stock for investors seeking income stability and growth. Recent earnings showcase SIA’s resilience and upward trajectory. For the quarter ending September 2024, the dividend stock reported revenue growth of 12.2% year over year, reflecting strong demand and operational efficiency. Even more impressive is its quarterly earnings growth of 90.7% year over year, highlighting management’s effectiveness in improving profitability. These numbers underline SIA’s ability to navigate challenges while creating value for shareholders. SIA’s past performance further cements its credibility as a dividend stock. Over the last five years, the dividend stock maintained a robust payout history. Its current annual dividend yield is sitting at 5.56%. While the payout ratio appears high at 222.86%, it’s important to consider the nature of the real estate and healthcare sectors. Where cash flow is prioritized over traditional earnings metrics. SIA’s consistent dividends reflect its confidence in sustainable operations. Future outlook Looking ahead, the future of SIA is bright, supported by demographic trends and strategic investments. The aging population in Canada ensures a growing market for senior living and healthcare services. While SIA’s efforts to modernize facilities and improve efficiency position it well to capitalize on this demand. Plus, its ability to maintain a healthy cash flow and strong liquidity, evidenced by $208.69 million in total cash, provides a buffer for potential challenges. Despite its high debt-to-equity ratio of 215.47%, SIA’s solid revenue and operating cash flow of $163.96 million demonstrate its capability to manage debt effectively. Investors looking at SIA should consider its enterprise value-to-revenue ratio of 2.58. This indicates that the dividend stock is not excessively overvalued compared to its peers in the sector. One of the most compelling reasons to consider SIA is its defensive nature. Senior living and healthcare are essential services, relatively insulated from economic downturns. This characteristic makes SIA a reliable choice during market volatility, offering peace of mind to investors seeking steady income. Plus, recent growth reflects investor confidence in the company’s operational and strategic initiatives. Additionally, SIA’s beta of 1.20 suggests slightly higher market sensitivity, making it an intriguing option for those looking for moderate exposure to market movements. Bottom line In conclusion, stocks like SIA offer a combination of consistent income, sector resilience, and growth potential. With its impressive earnings, strong cash flow, and focus on essential services, SIA is well-positioned as a long-term investment choice. Whether you’re seeking income now or looking to reinvest dividends for compounding growth, SIA delivers stability and opportunity in equal measure.LONDON (AP) — A woman who claimed mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in a Dublin hotel penthouse was awarded nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) on Friday by a civil court jury in Ireland. Nikita Hand said the Dec. 9, 2018, assault after a night of partying left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced the woman to do anything against her will and said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex. His lawyer had called Hand a gold digger. The fighter, once the face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship but now past his prime, shook his head as the jury of eight women and four men found him liable for assault after deliberating about six hours in the High Court in Dublin. He was mobbed by cameras as he left court but did not comment. He later said on the social platform X that he would appeal the verdict and the “modest award.” Hand's voice cracked and her hands trembled as she read a statement outside the courthouse, saying she would never forget what happened to her but would now be able to move on with her life. She thanked her family, partner, friends, jurors, the judge and all the supporters that had reached out to her online, but particularly her daughter. “She has given me so much strength and courage over the last six years throughout this nightmare to keep on pushing forward for justice,” she said. “I want to show (her) and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served.” The Associated Press generally does not name alleged victims of sexual violence unless they come forward publicly, as Hand has done. Under Irish law, she did not have the anonymity she would have been granted in a criminal proceeding and was named publicly throughout the trial. Her lawyer told jurors that McGregor was angry about a fight he had lost in Las Vegas two months earlier and took it out on his client. “He’s not a man, he’s a coward,” attorney John Gordon said in his closing speech. “A devious coward and you should treat him for what he is.” Gordon said his client never pretended to be a saint and was only looking to have fun when she sent McGregor a message through Instagram after attending a Christmas party. He said Hand knew McGregor socially and that they had grown up in the same area. She said he picked her and a friend up in a car and shared cocaine with them, which McGregor admitted in court, on the way to the Beacon Hotel. Hand said she told McGregor she didn't want to have sex with him and that she was menstruating. She said she told him “no” as he started kissing her but he eventually pinned her to a bed and she couldn't move. McGregor put her in a chokehold and later told her, “now you know how I felt in the octagon where I tapped out three times,” referring to a UFC match when he had to admit defeat, she said. Hand had to take several breaks in emotional testimony over three days. She said McGregor threatened to kill her during the encounter and she feared she would never see her young daughter again. Eventually, he let go of her. “I remember saying I was sorry, as I felt that I did something wrong and I wanted to reassure him that I wouldn’t tell anyone so he wouldn’t hurt me again,” she testified. She said she then let him do what he wanted and he had sex with her. A paramedic who examined Hand the next day testified that she had never before seen someone with that intensity of bruising. A doctor told jurors Hand had multiple injuries. Hand said the trauma of the attack had left her unable to work as a hairdresser, she fell behind on her mortgage and had to move out of her house. Police investigated the woman’s complaint but prosecutors declined to bring charges, saying there was insufficient evidence and a conviction was unlikely. McGregor, in his post on X, said he was disappointed jurors didn't see all the evidence prosecutors had reviewed. He testified that the two had athletic and vigorous sex, but that it was not rough. He said “she never said ‘no’ or stopped” and testified that everything she said was a lie. “It is a full blown lie among many lies,” he said when asked about the chokehold allegation. “How anyone could believe that me, as a prideful person, would highlight my shortcomings.” McGregor’s lawyer told jurors they had to set aside their animus toward the fighter. “You may have an active dislike of him, some of you may even loathe him – there is no point pretending that the situation might be otherwise,” attorney Remy Farrell said. “I’m not asking you to invite him to Sunday brunch.” The defense said the woman never told investigators McGregor threatened her life. They also showed surveillance video in court that they said appeared to show the woman kiss McGregor’s arm and hug him after they left the hotel room. Farrell said she looked “happy, happy, happy.” McGregor said he was “beyond petrified” when first questioned by police and read them a prepared statement. On the advice of his lawyer, he refused to answer more than 100 follow-up questions. The jury ruled against Hand in a case she brought against one of McGregor’s friends, James Lawrence, whom she accused of having sex with her in the hotel without consent.
