JUSTIN TRUDEAU WINS CANADA VOTE, DROPS MAJORITY-
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gain a second term in a surprise power showing in Canada's national elections, claiming a clear mandate on Tuesday despite a parliament and nation increasingly fractured along regional lines. Trudeau's Liberal Party took nearly all seats in parliament but lost its majority in Monday's balloting. That means it will have to rely on the opposition parties to pass legislation. After the narrow victory, Trudeau appeared on stage in Montreal and exclaimed in French. With results still trickling in, the Liberals had 157 seats-13 short of 170 needed for a majority in the 338-seat House-while the Conservatives, led by Andrew Scheer, had 121. After the win, Trudeau struck a conciliatory note. To those who did not vote for us, know that we will effort every single day for you, we will govern for everyone. About four hours after counting began, it became clear that the Liberals were going to emerge as the largest party. Liberals were upbeat after the win, having avoided the need for forming a coalition with other parties. Trudeau prevailed after a series of scandals had somewhat dimmed his appeal of late.

BORIS SCARE ELECTION IF MPS DERAIL TIMETABLE-
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson threatened on Tuesday to abandon ratifying his Brexit deal and instead seek an early election if MPs defy his timetable to get the agreement passed in time to leave the EU on October 31. The Conservative leader was speaking ahead of two crucial votes in the House of Commons that will determine if Johnson can fulfill his do or die promise to deliver Brexit at the end of next week. Britain is entering a cliff-hanger finale to a drama sparked by the 2016 referendum vote on whether to leave the EU, which has plunged the country into three years of political turmoil. Johnson was forced on Saturday to ask EU leaders to postpone the deadline for leaving. He was required by law to send a letter to the EU requesting an extension after MPs failed to back the divorce deal he struck with Brussels last week. However, he still has a chance of avoiding a delay if he can get legislation implementing the treaty through parliament by October 31. The House of Commons was scheduled to hold its first vote on the bill later in the day, followed by another vote on Johnson's timetable motion to rush it through parliament in just over a week. Opening the debate, the Conservative leader urged lawmakers to support the legislation. He warned that if they failed, the bill will have to be pulled and he would seek an early election-although he needs the support of the main opposition Labour Party. Johnson warned that voting against his timetable motion would kill any hope of leaving the EU with a deal next week, and risks a no-deal exit if the EU declines to approve a delay. In Strasbourg, the European Council President Donald Tusk said the other 27EU leaders were mulling Johnson's request but it would depend on how MPs vote.

Donald Trump has said is the US president has cost him between $2billion and $5billion that he would have made if he had continued running his business instead of getting into politics. He told reporters, "If I had it to do it again I would do it in an instant, because who cares if you can afford it, what difference does it make?"There is no evidence that Trump lost billions since he became US president. His net worth of $3.1 billion was unchanged from last year, Forbes magazine said in March. After Trump made the same claim in August. Forbes wrote Trump is not losing $3billion to $5billion.His income is not anywhere near $3billion.While Trump's personal fortune held steady over the past year, he vaulted higher on the Forbe's list of the world's richest people as dozens of his fellow typhoons suffered setbacks. Trump enraged democrats by comparing their impeachment inquiry, to a lynching, assigning the hours of a deadly and racist chapter in US history to a process laid out in the constitution. Under pressure over impeachment someday if a democrat becomes President and the republicans win a house even by a tiny margin they can impeach the President without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All republicans must remember here what they are witnessing here a lynching.
