Canada elected its first new prime minister in nearly a decade last Monday, as the Conservative Party’s Stephen Harper was ousted by Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party, which also gained an absolute majority in the country’s government. Though Canada is the United States’s largest trading partner, Harper’s relationship with President Barack Obama has been complicated, due to Obama’s opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, which Harper supports. Trudeau, though nominally pro-Keystone as well, has also spoken about the importance of balancing environmental impacts of the proposed pipeline. The Liberal party has also indicated that it would remove Canada’s non-NATO military from the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State. As the US prepares for its own presidential elections, how do you see Trudeau’s election impacting the next year of US-Canada relations?

Donald Trump could very well be America’s next president. Or “America’s First African President.” At least, that is what Trevor Noah, the host who has taken the seat of our beloved Jon Stewart, has to say. In an Oct. 1 bit, the 31 year old South African host revealed how he became truly at home when Donald Trump entered the political arena his summer. While those in the mainstream media pellet Trump with criticism, citing an inability to stand among his peers on the stage, Noah takes a different approach, mocking “that stage is unfit for Trump. There’s no marble, there’s no gold. Where are the women in bikinis? And how would he even get there? There’s no escalator.”

In a statement, he expressed, that “the forgiveness of God cannot be denied to one who has repented” and that he knows of “many women” who have made the “agonizing and painful” choice to have an abortion. This amnesty does not signal a policy change for the Catholic Church, according to CNN. However, Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican’s chief spokesman, expressed that it is hoping to portray the move as “a widening of the church’s mercy.” What do you think this policy shift will mean for the church and its relationship with the secular world?
