Good evening. It’s Sunday, March 9.
Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney will become Canada’s next prime minister after winning the Liberal leadership race on Sunday night. Carney told cheering supporters that “Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape or form.”
The prime minister-designate said Canada’s tariffs against the United States will remain until the Americans “show us respect” and added that Canadians “are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.”
Carney said that while “Donald Trump thinks he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer,” Conservative Official Opposition Leader “Pierre Poilievre’s plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered.”
Romania’s central election authority has banned Calin Georgescu, a populist candidate and frontrunner, from running in May’s presidential election re-run.
“Europe is now a dictatorship, Romania is under tyranny!” Georgescu said in a post on X, following the decision. “I have one message left! If democracy in Romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall!”
Trump’s administration has taken an interest in Romania’s presidential election since it was canceled in May because of Russian collusion allegations in Georgescu’s favor.
U.S. Air Force fighter jets intercepted an aircraft that flew over President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in violation of a temporary flight restriction on Sunday, NORAD said.
It was the second time in 48 hours F-16s from the Continental U.S. NORAD region had responded to such aircraft violations over Palm Beach, Fla., per a statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
“NORAD has responded to over 20 tracks of interest entering the Palm Beach, Florida TFR area” since Trump’s presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, according to the statement.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced a further wave of contract terminations late Saturday, noting that they also identified thousands of cases where more than $300 million in loans were granted to children.
The announcements come as the Elon Musk-led agency continues to root out waste, fraud and corruption in the federal government.
DOGE said it identified that the Small Business Administration (SBA) granted nearly 5,600 loans for $312 million to borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan. The loans were issued in 2020 and 2021 – while the world struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic – and it is unclear what they were used for.
President Donald Trump swiped at “terrible” South Africa, said he was stopping all federal funding for the country, and invited its farmers to seek citizenship in the U.S. in a post on his Truth Social platform Friday morning.
“South Africa is being terrible, plus, to long time Farmers in the country. They are confiscating their LAND and FARMS, and MUCH WORSE THAN THAT,” Trump wrote.
“A bad place to be right now, and we are stopping all Federal Funding. To go a step further, any Farmer (with family!) from South Africa, seeking to flee that country for reasons of safety, will be invited into the United States of America with a rapid pathway to Citizenship. This process will begin immediately!”
Los Angeles City officials have lost track of billions in spending on homelessness services, according to an independent audit released on March 6.
The audit was commissioned by federal U.S. District Judge David O. Carter and completed by Alvarez & Marsal Public Sector Services, LLC. (A&M).
The report noted that A&M found it challenging to completely quantify how Los Angeles officials spent approximately $2.3 billion in funding meant to shelter, feed, and serve homeless people due to the incomplete and inaccurate manner the city’s homelessness program recorded and collected data.
