Gina Loudon, who is an eminent MAGA media personality, pretty recently, criticized the film adaptation of ‘Wicked’ while claiming it was ‘offensive’ and ‘racist’ towards white people, reported Daily Beast. According to Daily Beast, during her show on Real America’s Voice, she mistakenly identified pop star Ariana Grande as ‘obviously’ Hispanic in spite of Ariana Grande being Italian-American. Gina Loudon expressed her disappointment with the film's portrayal of characters while particularly criticizing the casting of Ariana Grande as Glinda, whom she described as a ‘ditzy, blonde and white villain’. She also placed an argument that this representation perpetuates negative stereotypes about white people.

Last week the federal government announced a $4.7-billion tax expenditure, along with a two-month sales tax change that will create severe administrative and logistical nightmares for businesses, and whose effect on federal revenue the government seems to have badly miscalculated. According to economist Trevor Tombe, it will likely cost around $3.0 billion, versus the $1.6 billion the government estimates. Ottawa branded this $7.7-billion package an affordability measure and tax “holiday.” It is nothing of the kind. It is ridiculous nonsense, which this government delivers on a regular basis and is what Canadians really need a holiday from.

Canadian regulators are conducting a co-ordinated probe of sales practices within bank branches, the latest such inquiry following a public report on “potential investor harm due to alleged high-pressure sales practices for mutual funds at some Canadian banks.”

unemployment benefits fell again last week, but many laid-off workers are experiencing long bouts of joblessness, keeping the door open to another interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve in December. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 213,000 for the week ended Nov. 23, the Labor Department said on Wednesday. The report was published a day early because of the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 216,000 claims for the latest week. Claims have retreated from the near 1-1/2-year high seen in early October, which was the result of hurricanes and strikes at Boeing and another aerospace company.

Gaza, triggered by a Hamas attack on Israel in October last year, and later pulled in Hezbollah too. The ceasefire does not extend to Gaza, where Israel’s military continues to fight Hamas as there is no progress on the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Yet, the ceasefire is a definite turning point in the conflict and raises hope for final resolution. The ceasefire comes as a good news for India not just because India has trade and business interests in the Middle East which will be harmed if a wider war breaks out, but also because a highly ambitious project, which was deferred due to the conflict, can be back on track. The most consequential announcement at last year's G20 Summit in Delhi was the commitment to build a rail-and-port network that will connect India to the Middle-East and the Middle-East to Europe and the US. It has been named the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC). Though no leader from the participating countries mentioned China, it is an obvious alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) that aims to connect the whole world to China through shipping, rail and road networks.
