Crime organisé dans le KRTB : la SQ frappe à Sainte-Rita

Des enquêteurs de la Sûreté du Québec (SQ) ont procédé tôt, mercredi matin, à une perquisition dans une résidence située sur le 4e Rang à Sainte-Rita, dans Les Basques, en lien avec les événements de violence armée survenus au cours des dernières semaines dans le secteur de Rivière-du-Loup, dont les meurtres de deux jeunes femmes originaire de Saint-Pascal.

« Des démarches d’enquête se poursuivent actuellement afin de faire la lumière sur ces événements et d’identifier les personnes qui pourraient y être impliquées. Puisque plusieurs enquêtes sont toujours en cours, aucun autre détail ne peut être communiqué pour le moment », mentionne le corps policier par voie de communiqué.

À la suite du double meurtre survenu le 22 octobre dans le stationnement du restaurant Normandin à Rivière-du-Loup, la SQ avait promis de maintenir la pression sur le crime organisé dans l’ouest du Bas-Saint-Laurent.

Depuis ce temps, des policiers ont mené une série de perquisitions en lien avec le trafic de stupéfiants.

Toute information sur des actes criminels ou des événements suspects peut être communiquée à la Centrale de l’information criminelle de la Sûreté du Québec au 1 800 659-4264.

Trump promised Americans Russian diesel. Russia doubled its exports, and none of it went to the US

Russia doubled its diesel exports in October after US President Donald Trump eased sanctions on its fuel, yet none of the shipments has reached the United States, the Financial Times reported on 12 November. Russia shipped 271,000 barrels of diesel a day in October, up from 135,000 in September, according to Kpler data cited by the FT.

Russia pays for its war against Ukraine largely with oil money, and Western sanctions have spent years squeezing that income while Ukrainian drones hit its refineries. Trump's diesel deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin on 9 October loosened Washington's own grip, letting Russian diesel back onto world markets under a US Treasury license. A month on, none of that diesel has reached US pumps, but the deal has given Moscow room to sell more of its fuel abroad.

More diesel, but for Brazil and Türkiye

The jump followed US pressure on Ukraine to stop striking Russian refineries, and Russian exports rose to Brazil, Türkiye, and other countries, the FT reported. Even doubled, exports remain far below normal: Energy Aspects counted 260,000 barrels a day in October, against a five-year October average of about 700,000, the consultancy's head of geopolitics, Richard Bronze, told the FT.

A White House official told the FT that the deal "was made to add diesel supply to the global market—lowering prices for Americans and the world," and that talks with the owner of the Agioi Fanendes, the tanker idling off the US East Coast, were continuing.

US buyers stay away, Brazil balks

US companies are steering clear of the fuel over legal risks, Reuters reported on 11 November. "It's a relatively easy call for businesses to say, 'We don't want to touch it,'" former US sanctions official Jeremy Paner told the agency.

Not even the unsanctioned tanker: Putin’s diesel for Trump turns away from New York

Cargoes once meant for the US are now offered to Brazil. At least four tanker loads are available for delivery this month, Sergio Araujo, president of Brazilian fuel importers' group Abicom, told Bloomberg, but Brazilian traders called the prices unattractive compared with US-made diesel. Kpler estimates that the tankers heading there include the Leruo, which first declared the US as its destination.

Ukraine's strikes are back

The boost is expected to be short-lived. Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries resumed on 30 October after a two-week pause, and Russia has extended its diesel export ban until the end of January, with exceptions, the FT reported. Bronze expects Russian exports to stay weak in the coming months.

Kpler analyst Sumit Ritolia told the FT that Russia, already rationing gasoline, would put its own market first. Attacks since late October have disrupted about 30% of Russia's refining capacity, Reuters reported.

On 11 November, drones hit Ust-Luga, Russia's largest Baltic port and a hub for its fuel exports. Two tankers carrying about 34,000 tons of fuel were damaged there, causing a spill, pro-Ukrainian Telegram channel Supernova+ claimed. Leningrad Oblast Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko, who said the port fire had been contained, did not mention tankers.

‘I had the courage to believe in Mississippi’ says Scott Colom after historic Senate win – US politics live

Par : Taz Ali

Colom adds to blue wave of Democrat victories across the US and becomes Mississippi’s first black senator since 1875 after defeating Cindy Hyde-Smith

Donald Trump has been busy posting his latest commentary on Truth Social this morning, publishing a series of posts in which he takes aim at Democrats, revisits old grievances and accuses his political opponents of corruption.

In one post, the US president launched an attack on the Democratic party, describing its leadership as “one of the most corrupt and anti-American” in the country’s history. Coming just days after the Republicans suffered significant losses in the midterm elections, Trump’s latest broadside against Democrats appears to be an attempt to rally his party, as he urges Republicans to “fight hard”.

The Democrat Party, lead by one of the most Corrupt and anti-American groups of political leaders and hacks in the history of our Country, and even the World, is doing everything in their power to get away from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION by saying, over and over again, that the Trump Administration is corrupt. It is a sound bite that they viciously use, over and over again, in order to nullify the TREMENDOUS & UNPRECEDENTED theft that has taken place in our Blue States - Minnesota, California, and others, all over the U.S.A.

Now, in order to deflect from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION & CRIME, they are at it again, illegally threatening Republicans with knowingly false accusations and charges. Other than cheating, this is how they won the Midterms - But we won’t let our Country go to hell!

A record number of US democratic socialists will become mayors. They’re out to prove their vision for affordability

Members of Democratic Socialists of America have a unique opportunity to fulfill campaign promises and group’s ideals

As progressive candidates scored wins across the country last week, a historic number of socialists swept into power – in Congress, in state legislatures and at the helm of American cities.

Democratic Socialists of America members Nithya Raman and Janeese Lewis George were elected to lead the second largest US city – Los Angeles – and the capital – Washington DC respectively. Two other young DSA members, David Morales and Yousef Rabhi, were elected mayors of Providence, Rhode Island, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. They will join a handful of socialist mayors in smaller cities, including Burlington, Vermont, and Irvine, California – as well as Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist mayor of New York, the largest city in the US.

Luca Nappiot rêve aux Mondiaux juniors

L’Océanic a salué, la semaine dernière, le retour au jeu du défenseur Luca Nappiot, lui qui avait raté sept semaines en raison d’une blessure subie en tout début de saison. 

La formation rimouskoise a d’ailleurs pu retrouver les services de deux de ses trois défenseurs de 19 ans puisque Benjamin Rioux est revenu au jeu, dimanche, contre Québec. Seul Connor Sturgeon manquait à l’appel au sein de la brigade défensive.

Nappiot était bien sûr ravi de retrouver ses coéquipiers après une si longue absence. Sa tête est d’abord à Rimouski, mais en entrevue avec les médias, il mentionne jeter aussi un petit coup d’œil à ce qui se passe avec la formation nationale junior de son pays qui se prépare pour le prochain Championnat mondial junior qui se tiendra à Edmonton et Red Deer à compter du 26 décembre. 

« Nos dirigeants n’ont pas pu voir mes performances sur la glace, mais on a toujours gardé le contact pour savoir si ma réhabilitation se passait bien et ça s’est super bien passé. Il reste quand même une quinzaine de matchs avant le championnat mondial. J’aurai donc le temps de montrer de quoi je suis capable sur la glace. Je ne me fais pas de soucis pour ça », explique-t-il.

Luca Nappiot (Photo Le Soir – René Alary)

Nappiot a participé à un camp d’entraînement d’une dizaine de jours avec l’équipe de la Suisse, l’été dernier. « On a joué quatre matchs, deux contre la Finlande et deux contre la Tchéquie. Et puis, ça s’est super bien passé. Actuellement, ils sont en tournoi, si je ne me trompe pas, en Suède. Comme je suis ici, je n’ai pas pu y aller, mais on a un camp de préparation qui s’en vient avant les Mondiaux. Si j’ai la chance d’y aller, j’aurai l’opportunité de montrer ce que je peux faire à ce moment-là. »

Sur la route

Après sa séquence de trois parties en quatre jours, l’Océanic a repris l’entrainement et prendra la direction des Maritimes, jeudi, en vue d’une « trois en trois » en moins de 48 heures à compter de vendredi. Il jouera successivement à Charlottetown, vendredi, Moncton, samedi, et Saint John, dimanche après-midi. 

Matyas Cutta et Max Brien, qui ont pris part au Défi mondial des moins de 17 ans la semaine dernière en Ontario, ont rejoint l’équipe dimanche. Ils seront donc du voyage cette semaine. Cutta est revenu avec une médaille d’argent dans ses bagages puisque la Tchéquie s’est inclinée par la marque de 3-0, en finale, face aux États-Unis.

Ukraine’s Patriots stand empty, Zelenskyy warns, while Italy, one of its Aster suppliers, says: “We have some to keep for ourselves”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a meeting during his working visit to Denmark, 10–11 November 2026

Ukraine meets Russian ballistic missiles with “empty Patriot systems” because the interceptors it seeks keep going to the Middle East, leaving it in most cases with nothing to shoot the missiles down, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Denmark’s parliament on 11 November.

Ukraine needs Patriots and the European SAMP/T to stop Russia’s ballistic missiles, which Russia fires at Ukrainian cities and at the power grid that keeps people warm in winter. Those strikes are intensifying. On 7 November, Russia launched 36 missiles on ballistic paths in one night, and Ukraine downed four, Zelenskyy wrote. That single night equaled about a quarter of October’s total. Russia fired ballistic missiles again on the night of 12 November, and Ukraine’s Air Force reported downing none of them. The Patriot shortage itself is months old: in October, Ukraine downed 11 of the roughly 150 ballistic missiles Russia fired, about 7%, according to Air Force figures. What is new is that Europe’s backup appears to be thinning too.

A day earlier, Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto told reporters that Italy has Aster missiles it needs to keep for itself, and declined to say what Rome’s new aid package for Kyiv contains. The Asters set aside for Ukraine are reportedly exhausted, and Rome may in effect suspend deliveries, as Germany did with Patriot systems, the Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore reported on 11 November.

What Ukraine still has against ballistic missiles

Ukraine’s air force has two SAMP/T batteries, and few Asters reach them. Ukraine has received about 12 Patriot missiles a month from the US this year, Zelenskyy told journalists on 27 October. The 500 PAC-3s Washington approved may take years to arrive.

At the same time, Kyiv is going after the launchers. Ukrainian forces have hit eight Russian ballistic missile systems since September and destroyed three, a minister said in October. Ukraine has also asked the E5 group, which includes Italy and Germany, to consider handing over 10% of their Patriot and IRIS-T interceptors in exchange for deliveries Kyiv has already contracted, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said on 26 October.

Zelenskyy pitches FREYJA in Copenhagen

In the same speech, Zelenskyy urged Danish lawmakers to back FREYJA, the joint European anti-ballistic program, which he said 11 countries have joined. Its office is ready to open in Copenhagen together with Norway, he said. Ukraine says it has finished its part of the project, while partners are still working on their share, and the program runs on an early-2027 clock.

Billions lost and markets roiled by one man’s indiscretion. Isn’t it now clear that these tech bros are too powerful? | Aditya Chakrabortty

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair must be the costliest fling in human history – and a preview of what awaits when the tech bubble bursts

One thing we all know about the tech billionaires is they are super-smart. We know this largely because they never stop telling us. The “cognitive elite”, to use their favoured phrase, are entitled to shape our future without our say-so. When Elon Musk goes hiring, he wants “super-high-IQ small-government revolutionaries”. Long before they got private jets, what fuelled these boys was faith in their own brainpower. As a teenager, Jensen Huang wooed his future wife, Lori, thus: “If you do homework with me every Sunday, I promise you you’ll get straight As.”

Lord Byron: I believe it’s your move.

Ireland wants Ukraine’s final EU clusters open within seven weeks. Hungary still hasn’t said yes

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin on 11 November 2026

Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU, said there was goodwill in many EU countries toward opening Ukraine's last two negotiation clusters before the year is out. He spoke at a press conference with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Dublin on the evening of 11 November, Yevropeiska Pravda reported.

Ukraine is negotiating to join the EU while fighting off Russia's full-scale invasion. For years the main obstacle inside the bloc was Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian prime minister who said in January he expected no Hungarian parliament to vote for Ukraine's accession in the next 100 years. Orbán lost power in April, but Budapest is still holding up the talks, now at the technical level, as Ireland's presidency runs out.

Four clusters open, two to go

Ireland would have to use its powers of persuasion, Martin said, but there was a lot of goodwill in many countries. Opening every cluster, he added, would send Ukrainians a strong signal that Europe had opened the way to membership.

Clusters 4 and 5 are the last two Ukraine has yet to open, and it cannot join the EU until every cluster has been opened and closed. Cluster 4 covers transport, energy, and climate, and cluster 5 covers agriculture, regional policy, and budget rules, the Ukrainian government said in December 2025. “We must open all negotiating clusters this year,” Zelenskyy said in Dublin, the President’s Office reported. Ukraine has opened four of the six clusters. Martin said three of them were opened under Ireland’s presidency, which ends on 31 December.

Stalled since June

A day earlier, Hungary declined to approve the screening results for clusters 4 and 5, a required step before a cluster can open. The refusal came at a meeting of COELA, the Council's enlargement working group, on 10 November, Yevropeiska Pravda reported. It was not the first: Hungary also refused on 20 October and again on 27 October. In June, Budapest held up screening for clusters 2–6 in the same working group, saying its experts needed more time.

Hungary says its questions concern the content of the negotiating chapters themselves, Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Vsevolod Chentsov said at the EU Accession Exchange Forum on 4 November. The delay is not about minority rights, and Budapest has made no new demands on them so far, Yevropeiska Pravda reported.

The thaw began earlier: Péter Magyar's government reached an agreement with Kyiv on the rights of ethnic Hungarians in Zakarpattia Oblast in early June, which cleared the way for the first cluster to open. Weeks later, Magyar argued against opening all clusters at once. In October, after Kyiv filed a bill on minority-language schooling, Hungary agreed to unblock two more, and the EU opened them on 13 October.

Moldova waits too

At the same time, the delay holds back Moldova, whose bid has been deliberately linked to Ukraine's since 2022. Both countries are technically ready to open the last two clusters, according to the European Commission, Moldovan President Maia Sandu told Hungarian outlet Válasz Online on 2 November. Holding Moldova back does not help Ukraine, she said. Sandu added that she had raised the stalled clusters with Magyar and hoped the European Council would decide on them at its last summit of the year.
