The Canadian Leader Who Isn't Fretting Over Trump
Well, there's two things. I read his book, 'The Art of the Deal,' and I read Robert Lighthizer's book as well. I also read a little bit about President McKinley. So I take the president seriously when he says that there's certain things that he wants to do. He likes the idea of tariffs as a way of generating revenue. He's obviously targeting certain industries that he wants to be homegrown in the United States, and so I think we have to understand that's the case as well. But it seems to me that there's also a lot of room for common ground. When I look at Alberta, none of our energy resources are tariffed. None of our agriculture products are tariffed. The vast majority of goods crossing the border are [U.S.-Mexico-Canada] agreement compliant. He does have particular issues that he has with some particular industries. When he identifies an area that's a trade irritant, that means it probably is, and trying to find a way to get a resolution is probably the way to get a renegotiated deal. What's your sense of negotiations at the moment? Carney understands that it might be difficult to get back to the full tariff-free relationship that we enjoyed before. I don't know what that means. I don't know if that means that there's certain sectors that are going to continue to face a tariff threat, or if there's going to be an across-the-board tariff. I'm not quite sure. I guess we'll find out when we have a chance to talk with him. Canada did demonstrate some goodwill in removing the Digital Services Tax, which was something that was causing aggravation to the administration, and so I would hope that would have helped to soften the waters so that we would be able to get an agreement on August 1st. I think everyone is still holding out some hope that will happen. I'm told the president doesn't like the emotional reaction Canada has had in response to his tariffs. You appear to take the emotion out of the negotiations and treat the tariffs more like a business transaction. Do you think the Liberal government and even Ontario Premier Doug Ford have been too emotional at times when responding to the tariffs? Different people respond in different ways. I think some people are worried about the damage to the relationship. I'm a bit worried about that too. But I also know that we have a longstanding relationship with the Americans that goes back over 100 years, and it's going to last 100 years or more. You don't allow for temporary frustrations and irritations to damage the relationship permanently.

LSU football pushing to land two top remaining recruits in Louisiana
National signing day is months away, but most of college football's top 2026 recruits are off the board. In Louisiana, 15 of the state's top 17 players are committed, per the Rivals Industry Rankings. Eight of those players are committed to LSU, but the Tigers hope that number will grow in the coming months. Of that 17, the two without a commitment are linebacker JaMichael Garrett and defensive lineman Darryus McKinley. LSU has a chance to land both. McKinley is the younger brother of current LSU defensive tackle Dominick McKinley. ESPN and Rivals both rank McKinley as a top-40 defensive tackle in the class. He earned a fourth star from ESPN, but remains a three-star recruit at Rivals and 247Sports. LSU has been considered the heavy favorite for most of McKinley's recruitment. According to the Rivals Prediction Machine, LSU has a 99% chance of landing the defensive tackle. He would join a loaded defensive line class that includes Lamar Brown and Richard Anderson. McKinley is scheduled to commit on Nov. 8. As for Garrett, LSU had to battle to be in the race. Garrett originally committed to Auburn before backing off the pledge and opening his recruitment up. Garrett is an Alabama who recently moved to Baton Rouge. He doesn't fit the typical bill of a Louisiana high school product who dreamed of playing for LSU. But now that he's playing in LSU's city, the Tigers are in the thick of the race for the blue-chip linebacker. Per 247Sports, Garrett is the No. 8-ranked linebacker in the class. LSU's 2026 class is yet to add a linebacker, which makes Garrett a priority. LSU isn't the frontrunner for Garrett at the moment, but LSU has made progress. Don't count out the Tigers.

Fredericton's assistant deputy fire chief reflects on 35-year career
David McKinley was 25 years old when he first joined the Fredericton Fire Department in 1990. Now, as he gets set to enter retirement, the assistant deputy chief is reflecting on his 35-year career with the department. Over the decades, he's responded to fires, ice rescues and medical calls. In 2013, he became the assistant deputy chief. It's not a job he took lightly. 'There's a lot of responsibility,' said McKinley. 'The weight of the department is on our shoulders, so it's important that we keep moving forward.' This year, McKinley received the King Charles III Coronation Medal for his service. And he leaves his legacy with dozens of members who weren't even born when he began.

Story continues below advertisement It's a legacy fire Chief Dwayne Killingbeck noted at McKinley's retirement reception. 'He leaves [the department] improved down to its very foundation, and he's now entrusting us to carry it on his behalf, and we cannot let him down,' Killingbeck said. Meanwhile, McKinley isn't finished with the Fredericton Fire Department yet — he's turning his gaze to a book chronicling the department's history. He said it will include everything from early equipment to the volunteers and firefighters who kept Fredericton safe over the years. 'It's important to me where we came from and some of the struggles that our firefighters ahead of us had to go through because they worked hard,' he said. And, he has a much more immediate plan, too. 'The first thing I'm going to do is sleep in,' he said. For more on this story, watch the video above.

Aussie's rented rooms to boarders 100 years ago but would it work now?
A joint research study is looking at the viability of home owners renting a spare bedroom to people at risk of homelessness, though some say it opens the door for elder abuse. The University of Sunshine Coast and Anglicare are surveying people nationwide to see if intergenerational share housing could be considered a safe and beneficial practice. Dr Anna McKinley, from the university's School of Law and Society, told The Senior the survey aims to give insight to combat Australia's housing affordability crisis, with researchers hoping present recommendations to policy-makers. Read more from The Senior: "There's lots of people in the community with spare bedrooms that could help minimise the housing crisis if some of these rooms were utilised as share opportunities," Dr McKinley said. "Is that an option? Is that a possibility? What would that mean? What would people want before they would be able to do that?" By finding out directly from homeowners, it is hoped specific requirements will be revealed and discussed, potentially covering topics like safety, legal implications and social impacts. Dr McKinley said there were many people facing housing insecurity "for no fault of their own" and could benefit from a rent-a-room scheme - but the homeowner could also have a positive experience. "It's the people who own a house but are socially poor, or who are cash poor, who could benefit from having a housemate," she said. "And one group of people is the elderly, who are starting to age, but are not at that point yet of needing help. "But to have somebody living with them when they were reaching that stage would be really beneficial." The report would provide a framework on how Anglicare, Southern Queensland, could set up a support service. They then hope to run those support services as a pilot in the next couple of years. Far from being a new concept, Dr McKinley said Australians have rented rooms before. "It's previously worked. If we go back to the 30s, 40s, 50s - last time there was a major housing issue, people did rent out spare rooms, families had a boarder," she said. Dr McKinley admitted that "any system is open to abuse" and the project was keen to see how the risks can be minimised. Housing for the Aged Action Group's (HAAG) new report has shown a clear link between housing and elder abuse. The report looks at older Australians suspected to be victims of abuse who were experiencing housing issues between 2020-2024 and who approached the group for help. The findings revealed elder abuse happened in close family relationships - but also in shared living arrangements. The report stated that "secure and stable housing" is a "critical pathway out of abuse". HAAG's Executive Officer, Fiona York, said the report's "deep dive" reveal many older Australians are living with people who are harming them - but in many cases they had no choice but to stay in the situation. "Rising costs and limited availability of affordable housing leaves many people trapped in cycles of abuse," Ms York said. "Integrating housing support within the broader context of elder abuse and family violence will also be critical to improving outcomes for older people facing abuse and mistreatment." Worryingly, the report also found "older Australians of any age" were at risk of abuse and were likely to be living with the people causing them harm. A lack of knowledge on what constitutes elder abuse among victims was uncovered adding another challenge for older Australians to face - recognising when they were in harms way. It follows comments from a Queensland University of Technology (QUT) economist proposed in April 2025 that homeowners should be incentivised to rent their spare room to a homeless person, as the housing issue is not due to ease until "2029". Dr Lyndall Bryant, from the QUT Centre for Justice and School of Economics and Finance said there were 13 million unused bedrooms in existing housing stock in Australia. "Millions of empty bedrooms exist and yet many older homeowners live in poverty rather than risk losing their pension or paying taxes by renting out a spare bedroom", she previously told The Senior.
