Your lookahead horoscope: November 9, 2025

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY You won’t lack for good ideas over the coming year, but your birthday chart warns that only one or two of them will be worth pursuing. Set yourself one major goal and have a second goal as a backup for those days when you get bored. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): If you learn something to your advantage during the early part of the week be smart and keep it to yourself. That might sound selfish but the universe wants you to have a good crack at the opportunity before your rivals wise up. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): You may feel the need to be more adventurous but with luck planet Jupiter about to begin its retrograde phase that may not be the best idea you’ve ever had. Consolidate your recent gains over the next few days rather than risk losing them. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): You may want to boost your finances but the planets warn you could end up making a drastic move that is completely unnecessary.

Parliament's Last-Minute Decision on $21B Spending Bill


                                                                        

 In a dramatic turn of events, Members of Parliament are gearing up for an eleventh-hour vote on a $21.6 billion spending bill. The vote, which is set to take place late tonight, comes just hours before the crucial deadline of December 10th.

The bill, proposed by the Liberals, seeks to allocate funds for various programs, including the First Nations child and family services program and compensation for Quebec's services for asylum seekers. However, the path to this vote has been anything but smooth. Parliament has been in a deadlock for months as Conservatives have been pressing the Liberals to release documents related to alleged misspending on a green-tech fund.

In a surprising move last week, Speaker Greg Fergus ruled to pause the ongoing privilege debate, allowing the spending bill vote to proceed. This decision underscores the urgency and importance of the bill, which includes $561 million for the Department of National Defence's Canadian multi-mission aircraft project.

Government House leader Karina Gould expressed cautious optimism, stating, "I'm looking forward to having the vote. There's a lot of really good things in there for Canadians, and it's important we get this done."

The outcome of this vote will have significant implications for various government programs and services, making it a pivotal moment for Canadian politics.
