Prime Minister Mark Carney called Stellantis’ sale of its Brampton assembly plant to defence contractor Roshel 'unacceptable' and says the move violates the automaker’s commitments tied to federal funding.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping next week at the APEC summit. He says he will raise issues 'directly and frankly' including foreign interference.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha met his South Korean counterpart Cho Hyun on the sidelines of the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Paris and said he was convinced “new steps toward full normalization” of relations lay ahead, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry said on 10 November. South Korea’s Foreign Ministry has earmarked $100 million for Ukraine in its proposed 2027 budget, which would fulfill a pledge President Lee Jae Myung made in July, Korea JoongAng Daily reported on 9 November.
The talks were the ministers’ first face-to-face meeting since Seoul recalled its ambassador in October. The row began when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the UN General Assembly on 23 September that Ukraine had handed two captured North Korean soldiers to South Korea. Seoul says Kyiv had asked to keep the transfer quiet and then broke that agreement, and it demanded an apology. Zelenskyy’s adviser Dmytro Lytvyn wrote on Facebook that there had been no agreement to stay silent. Seoul has since also pulled staff from its embassy in Kyiv.
Cho tells Sybiha that agreements must be honored
Cho told Sybiha that mutual respect, trust, and faithful implementation of agreements were basic preconditions for the relationship to develop, and said he hoped all pending issues would be resolved smoothly, South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said on 11 November. He added that Seoul would keep looking for ways to provide humanitarian aid and support Ukraine’s reconstruction. Sybiha, in turn, proposed continuing diplomatic efforts to keep relations stable, the ministry said. Kyunghyang Shinmun read Cho’s words as a renewed call for an apology and for steps to prevent a repeat.
Ukraine’s readout, for its part, did not mention the prisoners. In it, Sybiha said the ministers discussed ways to end the war and that he valued Cho’s views, which drew on Korea’s own historical experience. He also welcomed Korean business taking part in Ukraine’s reconstruction and invited Cho to visit Ukraine again. Seoul Shinmun noted that Kyiv’s account contained no apology and no pledge to prevent a repeat.
Speaking on the national telethon, Sybiha said the two had talked frankly about the recent unpleasant events, Interfax-Ukraine reported.
“We deserve an extraordinarily dynamic and high-level relationship with South Korea,” Sybiha added.
Where the $100 million would go
The figures come from the office of Song Seog-jun, chair of the National Assembly’s foreign affairs committee, and from diplomatic sources, according to Korea JoongAng Daily. Under the proposal, Seoul’s contribution to a NATO trust fund for Ukraine would nearly triple, from $16.7 million this year to $50 million in 2027. Humanitarian aid would rise from $5 million to $20 million. Another $30 million would come from a program for conflict-affected and fragile countries.
“Recent diplomatic tensions must not undermine the progress made in bilateral cooperation,” Song said.
A Foreign Ministry official told the paper that the government’s principled position on supporting Ukraine remained unchanged. That support excludes weapons: South Korean law bars direct exports of lethal arms to countries at war, and in August Seoul again refused Kyiv’s request for them.

Country is in the middle of worst measles outbreak since 1991, with more than 5,400 cases nationally
The United States could lose its measles elimination status this week, an event likely to cement health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s legacy of meddling in vaccine policies amid the worst outbreak of the virus in the US in 35 years.
If the US loses its measles-free status, it would join Canada and several European and Asian nations that had eliminated the disease only for it to return.
The tanker Agioi Fanendes, carrying about 40,000 tons of Russian diesel, has been zigzagging some 400 nautical miles off New York since 9 November after turning away from the US coast, Bloomberg reported. By 10 November it had come to a halt, Reuters reported. Its Greek manager, Eastmed, told Reuters the ship was “still awaiting orders.”
The tanker left Russia in late October under the diesel deal that Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin struck on 9 October. Unlike Talisman and Leruo, the first two tankers to turn away, it is not sanctioned, tracker Windward noted. Yet Vortexa analyst Ellie Valencia told Reuters that its slowdown most likely means it “doesn’t yet have a specific buyer.” On 10 November, Energy Secretary Chris Wright was asked whether that worried him. “Not at all,” he said, adding that the cargo would “go to another port.” The deal was sold as relief at the pump, yet a month later no Russian diesel has reached the US, according to tracking data cited by Bloomberg.
Warnings before the halt
The ship had been due in New York on 7 November, according to LSEG data cited by Reuters. Earlier, on 27 October, Senator Richard Blumenthal demanded that its owner recall it. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill argued that the administration could not override the 2022 ban on Russian energy imports, AP reported. The Treasury, however, told AP that its license complies with all applicable laws.
“It’s clear there’s hesitancy here in bringing these barrels onshore just because of the implications of doing so,” Kpler analyst Matt Smith told AP.

By Euromaidan Press’s tracking, the Agioi Fanendes is the sixth tanker to turn away from the US. Two of the earlier five, Hanna and Manta, were on a Ukrainian monitor’s list of tankers that could be US-bound.
Moscow insists, supply may shrink
On 5 November, Putin’s envoy Kirill Dmitriev claimed on X that reports of diversions were “fake” and that “tankers destined for the US continue on course.”
Meanwhile, Bloomberg counts six Russian refineries attacked since early November. On 30 October, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak claimed that such attacks could push diesel exports below the 2.1 million tons planned for November, though only slightly, Interfax reported.
Drones hit the port zone of Ust-Luga overnight on 11 November, starting a fire and injuring three workers, Leningrad Oblast Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko wrote.
Ust-Luga is Russia’s largest Baltic port, and its oil terminals ship crude and refined products. Two days earlier, drones set fire to the Kirishi refinery, which fuels St. Petersburg. Every strike on Ust-Luga also reaches NATO’s doorstep: the port lies only about 30 km from the Estonian border.
Fire seen from Estonia
Drozdenko first wrote at 05:02 Kyiv time (the same in Finland and the Baltics) that, according to preliminary information, there had been a hit in the port zone. He added that a transformer substation had shut down. At 06:23, he wrote that the workers’ lives were not in danger. One was hospitalized with a shrapnel wound to the leg, regional official Nikita Dontsov told TASS, Lenta.ru reported.
NASA FIRMS data show two clusters of new heat detections on 11 November: a main one in the port and a smaller one about 8 km to the west-southwest. The area showed none in the previous month.

Estonian broadcaster ERR published images it says show the attack seen from Ida-Viru County.
As of 14:00, Ukraine’s General Staff had not commented. It confirmed the 1 September strike on the port’s Novatek complex the following day.
A record night for Leningrad Oblast
By Drozdenko’s claimed tally of 150 drones downed, it was the region’s largest attack, topping 145 on 18 October, Russian outlet Agentstvo Novosti noted. Restrictions at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo airport from 23:47 to 06:29 delayed more than 30 departures and about 20 arrivals, and two planes bound for the city landed in Helsinki, it added.
In Lithuania, NATO fighters twice tried and failed to destroy a drone that had entered from Belarus, and one missile that missed was later found in the Biržai district, Defense Staff chief Giedrius Premeneckas told reporters, LRT reported. He said the drone then crossed Latvia and Estonia into Russia and could have been disrupted during Ukraine’s attack, though this was unconfirmed. Crisis center head Vilmantas Vitkauskas called Russian claims that Lithuania opens its airspace to Ukrainian drones a lie.

At 02:09 and 02:15, Finland’s Defense Forces set temporary airspace and maritime restriction zones in the eastern Gulf of Finland, calling them a precaution to protect bystanders and counter potential drones. At 03:12, the Estonian Defense Forces warned of a possible air threat in six southern counties, and two northeastern ones at 03:45, ERR reported.

Players’ relationship has been under intense scrutiny
Paul George scores 36 points in 123-101 victory
Tatum appears to ignore former teammate before game
Jayson Tatum scored 21 points and outplayed his former Boston teammate, Jaylen Brown, and Paul George scored 36 points in his return to Philadelphia, leading the Celtics past the 76ers 123-101 on Tuesday night.
Brown ran into early foul trouble and scored only 13 points in his first game against Boston since the 2024 NBA Finals MVP was traded over the summer to the Sixers. He also had four turnovers. His head-to-head showdown with Tatum was one of the more anticipated early-season matchups with both players refusing to say much about their frosty relationship.

House Republicans block impeachment resolution that cited US military actions in Iran, Yemen and Venezuela. Plus, SS United States to be sunk to create artificial reef
Good morning. House Republicans have blocked an effort to impeach Pete Hegseth. The defense secretary dismissed the impeachment resolution from a Republican lawmaker as “political spectacle”, saying it was an attempt to set up a “show trial”. Top Democrats announced their support for the resolution, but Republicans moved to kill it by referring it to the judiciary committee.
Thomas Massie’s 34-page resolution, which he read aloud on the House floor, centered on the Iran war. Hegseth said the articles targeted not just him but the troops who carried out his orders. He insisted that every operation the articles cite – including strikes on Iran and Yemen, attacks on alleged drug boats and the capture of Venezuela’s now former leader Nicolás Maduro – was lawful, ordered by Donald Trump and notified to Congress.

But, says one expert, it would be misleading to say that gerrymandering did not work at all in this election
If there was one obvious conclusion from Democrats’ sweeping victories in the mid-term elections on Tuesday, it seemed to be that the Republican effort to redraw congressional districts in their favor backfired.
Starting last summer, Trump and Republican allies undertook an aggressive effort to redraw congressional districts, reconfiguring the lines to give Republican candidates an advantage. Ahead of the midterms, Republicans redrew 15 seats to their advantage. After Tuesday’s election, they appear poised to lose all but two of them. “It was definitely the wrong move,” an unnamed House Republican told Fox News. “One of the truisms in politics is never to overreach. We did and that was part of the reason for the backlash.”
Richard Trahant says accusers have been vindicated after Catholic church officially classifies Paul Hart as sex abuser
An attorney who was fined more than $400,000 after getting an abusive Roman Catholic priest removed as a New Orleans high school’s chaplain says it was “worth it” now that the church has officially classified the cleric as a clergy molester.
That remark from Richard Trahant came days after the archdiocese of New Orleans, having waited years, added Paul Hart on 6 November to a list of Catholic priests and deacons faced with credible claims of clergy abuse while serving in the area.

Le président de la filiale locale de la Légion royale canadienne qui est lui-même ancien combattant, Josélitho Boudreault, souligne l’importance de se rappeler le sacrifice des soldatsen ce jour du Souvenir qui a été souligné ce dimanche 8 novembre à Rimouski.
« C’est pour se rappeler ce qui s’est passé pendant les guerres mondiales et que grâce aux militaires, nous avons la liberté et la sécurité aujourd’hui. Il faut honorer les nouveaux vétérans, ceux qui sont morts au combat ainsi que ceux qui sont revenus marqués. Nous avons plusieurs centaines de vétérans dans la région », exprime le président de la filiale Joseph Keable.
Josélitho Boudreault a œuvré comme mécanicien dans les Forces armées canadiennes. Il a notamment été déployé en Yougoslavie en 1992.
« C’était dans le premier tour de la mission des Nations unies. Nous avons forcé et maintenu la paix. Ça a fait partie des deux mandats, avec celui de 1995, les plus difficiles. J’étais le seul mécanicien à l’aéroport de Sarajevo et je devais le remettre en marche pour accueillir les avions du monde entier qui amenaient des denrées parce qu’il y avait 380 000 personnes en otage. »

Arrivé dans les Forces armées en 1983 à l’âge de 19 ans, le Rimouskois a aussi participé à la crise d’Oka et été déployé en Allemagne pendant deux ans. Il a dû se retirer en 1994 en raison de problèmes de santé liés à son passage en Yougoslavie.
« J’ai pris du temps avant de comprendre. J’ai dû demander de l’aide à l’hôpital des Forces canadiennes. À l’époque, il n’y avait pas de soutien psychologique parce que la dernière fois que l’Armée canadienne avait été en guerre, c’était en Corée, donc ça datait. Quand ils ont vu que ça avait brassé en Yougoslavie, ils ont commencé à envoyer des psychologues, mais comme je faisais partie du premier groupe, ce n’était pas encore en place. Nous nous sommes retrouvés avec des syndromes post-traumatiques. »
Des conséquences encore aujourd’hui
Trente-cinq ans plus tard, monsieur Boudreault vit encore au quotidien avec les conséquences de ce qu’il a vécu en temps de guerre.
« C’est toujours dans ma tête comme si c’était hier. Ça marque pour la vie. Il y a beaucoup de choses dans une journée qui me ramènent à ce que j’ai vécu là-bas. Quand ça devient difficile à la télé, j’arrête d’écouter les nouvelles. C’est super important de préserver sa santé mentale et je suis bien soutenu par mon épouse. Dans une guerre, la vie d’un être humain ne vaut pas grand-chose. Nous avons vu des horreurs, mais je ne regrette rien parce que nous avons beaucoup aidé », dit-il.
Après son parcours dans les Forces armées, Josélitho Boudreault a lancé son garage et une entreprise internationale de pièces d’automobile. Il a pris sa retraite à l’âge de 42 ans en raison de problèmes de santé liés à son service militaire. Depuis, il est très actif avec la Légion royale canadienne.
L’ancien combattant constate que l’aide psychologique est heureusement beaucoup plus présente aujourd’hui pour les militaires.
« Les Forces armées ont mis en place beaucoup de programmes. Ils sont suivis avant le départ et pris en main dès leur retour. Une unité spéciale existe aussi pour les soldats en stress post-traumatique ou qui ont des problèmes de santé physique. Après deux ans, ils peuvent retourner dans leur unité ou dans la vie civile et c’est le ministère des Anciens Combattants qui embarque. »
Vente de coquelicots
La campagne de vente de coquelicots dans le cadre du jour du Souvenir permet d’ailleurs de financer ces programmes.
« À cause du contexte économique, les dons que les gens nous donnent pour les coquelicots ont été dépensés. Nous avons utilisé 25 000 $ en aide directe à des vétérans et des familles pour fin 2025 et début 2026. Nos coffres sont tombés à 0 $. C’est très important parce que nos nouveaux vétérans ont besoin d’aide », conclut le président de la filiale Joseph Keable.
