Watch: Foul no-calls focus of No. 2 UConn's second consecutive loss
OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will not support a Liberal plan to give Canadians a GST holiday and $250 unless the government expands eligibility for the cheques, saying the rebate leaves out "the most vulnerable." The Liberals announced a plan last week to cut the federal sales tax on a raft of items like toys and restaurant meals for two months, and to give $250 to more than 18.7 million Canadians in the spring. Speaking after a Canadian Labour Congress event in Ottawa, Singh says he's open to passing the GST legislation, but the rebate needs to include seniors, students, people who are on disability benefits and those who were not able to work last year. Singh says he initially supported the idea because he thought the rebate cheques would go to anyone who earned under $150,000 last year. But the so-called working Canadians rebate will be sent to those who had an income, leaving out people Singh says need the help. The government intends to include the measures in the fall economic statement, which has not yet been introduced in the House of Commons. The proposed GST holiday would begin in mid-December, lasting for two months. It would remove the GST on prepared foods at grocery stores, some alcoholic drinks, children's clothes and toys, Christmas trees, restaurant meals, books, video games and physical newspapers. A privilege debate has held up all government business in the House since late September, with the Conservatives pledging to continue a filibuster until the government hands over unredacted documents related to misspending at a green technology fund. The NDP said last week they had agreed to pause the privilege debate in order to pass the legislation to usher in the GST holiday. Singh said Tuesday that unless there are changes to the proposed legislation, he will not support pausing the debate. The Bloc Québécois is also pushing for the rebates to be sent to seniors and retirees. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024.

POCATELLO — As a preemptive measure amid pressure from state lawmakers critical of diversity, equity and inclusion programs, also known as DEI, Idaho State University has closed its Diversity Resource Center and Gender Resource Center on its Pocatello campus. The services provided by those centers are now being offered by different campus offices, ISU stated. "As always, our top priority is the success of our students," ISU President Robert Wagner wrote to the school's faculty and students in an email last month. "We are confident that this change will help us better fulfill our mission to serve all students and prepare them for their future careers while respecting the expectations of the broader community we serve." Currently, Idaho colleges and universities are banned from using taxpayer dollars on DEI programs and earlier this year Idaho legislators passed Senate Bill 1274, which banned required diversity statements in campus hiring. ISU's decision to close its Diversity Resource and Gender Resource centers last month came after an Idaho legislative task force in October took aim at DEI programs on the state's public college and university campuses and the inclusion of diversity statement requirements for higher education job listings at Boise State University, University of Idaho, ISU and Lewis-Clark State College. Then the State Board of Education met on Nov. 21 and considered a resolution to “ensure that no central office, policy, procedure or initiative is dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion” at Idaho's public colleges and universities. The board's proposed resolution also states that no employee or student at an Idaho public college or university should be required to declare gender identity or preferred pronouns and that student success centers on the state's campuses must be dedicated to all students. Higher education DEI and social justice programs have taken center stage for many lawmakers in recent years, with some states passing bills in support of or limiting aspects of DEI programs on college campuses. As part of ISU's announced closure of its Diversity Resource Center and Gender Resource Center last month, all website links and social media pages relating to the centers have been deleted. ISU has also renamed its Office of Equity and Inclusion as the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX. This office will now be housed within the office of the president on the Pocatello campus. Programs like bystander and violence intervention and healthy relationships will still be offered through the renamed office. In addition ISU announced the creation last month of the Bengal Success Center, which is aimed at helping all ISU students achieve academic success. Also announced last month by ISU was that its Native American Student Services programming and On Common Ground initiative would continue. "At ISU, we believe strongly that creating a welcoming environment where every student can thrive is fundamental to our mission," Wagner wrote in his email to ISU faculty and students. "Our commitment to that mission remains steadfast and guides everything we do." Concerns have been raised that the dissolution of DEI offices and programs on U.S. college campuses will have a detrimental effect on queer and minority groups, diminishing their rights and restricting their access to beneficial resources and legal protections. In 2023, Idaho legislators passed both House Bill 1100, which prohibits transgender students from using bathrooms that align with their gender identities, and House Bill 71, which prohibits gender-affirming medical care for youth in Idaho. The DEI resolution proposed by the Idaho State Board of Education would also further diminish DEI structured classes as pre-requisite courses for undergraduate and graduate degrees. That resolution has not yet received final approval. The University of Idaho planned to close its DEI offices on Dec. 14 including the Office of Multicultural Affairs, The Black and African American Cultural Center, The Women’s Center and the LGBTQ+ Office. But according to an e-mail sent Friday by U of I administrators to faculty and students, the university is now planning on holding off on those closures. The College of Eastern Idaho in Idaho Falls reports that it's not expecting any major changes on its campus. Boise State University issued the following statement regarding the DEI issue after the State Board of Education's Nov. 21 meeting: "Boise State is committed to serving all students. We are aware of the resolutions that were presented at (the Nov. 21) Idaho State Board of Education meeting and will provide feedback." Idaho's legislative leaders have already approved the state's House-Senate task force to continue to develop DEI-related legislation for the 2025 legislative session.Washington Commanders release 2023 first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes

Trump’s tariff threats make throwing Mexico under the bus more tempting. Canada must resistOne could argue that the New York Jets have been one of the most disappointing teams in football this season. Thought of as a playoff team at the very least, the 3-8 Jets have looked anything but a polished and confident team with Aaron Rodgers looking every bit the 41-year-old quarterback, head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett fired, the defense leaking points and so on. With both sides of the ball not playing up to the standard many thought they could achieve, the 2024 season has just been putrid for fans, but CBS Sports thinks there's one thing that the organization can be thankful for soon. "A total blowup awaits," CBS Sports writes . "Coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas have already exited after pushing all their chips on the aging, ailing Aaron Rodgers. They badly need fresh ideas at the key spots." © Brad Penner-Imagn Images With a big reset likely to occur in the offseason, with a new head coach, perhaps both coordinators and a general manager, there will be many new faces in the building. Additionally, it remains to be seen if Rodgers will return in 2025, despite stating his preference is to stay a Jet, but is it worth running things back again? Or will a total rebuild, as CBS Sports suggests, be the best way to cleanse the organization from the bad vibes? Related: Aaron Rodgers Chastises 'Leaky' Jets One could easily say yes, but before any of that can happen, fans have to endure the last six games of the season with playoffs out of the equation, barring a monumental shift in form. And that, for Jets fans at least, isn't something to be thankful for. Related: Is Breece Hall OK for Sunday?
