SM Group ‘cautiously optimistic’ for 2025
Southern University in Shreveport receives $25,000 from AT&T to support low-income studentsAnge Postecoglou vowed to keep fighting to revive Tottenham’s fortunes after receiving “some direct feedback” from disgruntled fans following a limp 1-0 Premier League loss to Bournemouth. Spurs boss Postecoglou was booed and heckled by a frustrated away end at the Vitality Stadium, having seen his toothless side condemned to defeat by Dean Huijsen’s 17th-minute header. The Australian refused to go into detail about the heated exchange but said he understood the supporters’ emotional reaction. “I didn’t like what was being said because I’m a human being but you’ve got to cop it,” said Postecoglou, whose team have won only one of their last six games in all competitions. “I’ve been around long enough to know that when things don’t go well you’ve got to understand the frustration and the disappointment. “They’re rightly disappointed tonight because we’ve let a game of football get away from us. I’m OK with all that. “They’re disappointed and rightly so. They gave me some direct feedback, which I guess is taken onboard. “All I can say is, I’m really disappointed with tonight and I’m determined to get it right and I will keep fighting until we do.” Asked what was said by the travelling support, Postecoglou replied: “Probably not for here, mate.” Tottenham began brightly in Dorset but created little during the 90 minutes and were fortunate not to lose by a bigger margin. Bournemouth midfielder Ryan Christie struck a post and the impressive hosts failed to capitalise on a host of other chances to put the result beyond doubt. Spurs dropped below the Cherries, into 10th position, ahead of Sunday’s London derby at home to high-flying Chelsea following the latest setback in a patchy season so far. To compound a miserable evening for the injury-hit north London club, defender Ben Davies limped out of his 300th Premier League appearance and faces a spell on the sidelines. “It looks like he’s done his hamstring,” said Postecoglou. “Him and Radu (Dragusin) have played every game, it’s the one sort of position we can’t rotate. “He’ll obviously be out for a period of time now, we’ll just have to wait and see how long it is. “It’s kind of the consequence of us having the squad we have at the moment.” Match-winner Huijsen became Bournemouth’s youngest Premier League goalscorer by nodding in Marcus Tavernier’s corner. The Spain Under-21 defender, who is aged 19 years and 235 days, was making only his third top-flight start since a summer switch from Juventus, in place of the injured Marcos Senesi. Cherries boss Andoni Iraola said: “Dean has shown from the beginning that he is someone with confidence in himself. With the injury of Marcos, for sure he will have to play more. “It’s a very good win. I liked especially the second half; the first half we were playing decently, we were not conceding chances but probably we were not being a threat as we’ve been in the second one. “Now we will not regret it because we finished winning but when we started missing the chances in the second half it was a dangerous moment. Luckily for us, we could finish the job.” Speaking about Senesi, who sustained a quad injury in Saturday’s 4-2 win at Wolves, Iraola said: “It’s quite significant so probably he will be out for some time but we still have to do more assessment.”OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could potentially receive the names of Conservatives allegedly tied to foreign meddling activities — and reveal that information to the public, a former head of Canada’s spy agency says. “The (Canadian Intelligence Security Service) can do what it wants or say what it wants, as long as it doesn’t violate a federal statute or the Constitution,” said Richard Fadden, who also served as national security adviser to both prime ministers Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau. “You have to go to a federal judge and convince them that, taking all of the circumstances into account, this is a reasonable thing for the service to do,” Fadden told the Star. He was referring to “threat reduction measures,” or TRMs, which are aimed at reducing threats to Canada’s security instead of gathering more intelligence to investigate the threats. One of the ways that can be done is by disclosing certain information to external parties, who can act to minimize the threat. CSIS has confirmed that Poilievre is set to receive a briefing through that pathway, sharing in a statement that “the disclosure of some information” through a threat reduction measure has been deemed “appropriate.” Poilievre’s office says the briefing is set to occur in “the near future.” Unlike other federal party leaders, Poilievre has refused to obtain the security clearances necessary to directly receive classified intelligence, arguing that he will not be “gagged” by confidentiality rules that would bar him from sharing information with Canadians. He has instead spent months pushing to obtain briefings through a TRM, which would allow him to publicly disclose what he learned since he would not be sworn to secrecy. At his October appearance at a public inquiry probing foreign interference in Canadian affairs, Trudeau said there was “no guarantee” that a briefing delivered through a TRM would include identifying details such as names. He also said that Poilievre’s chief of staff, Ian Todd — who has been cleared to receive classified briefings — cannot act on intelligence in the same way a party leader can. Neither CSIS nor Poilievre’s office has shared what the leader is expected to be briefed on, nor the nature of the threats. But back at that same October appearance before the foreign interference commission, Trudeau dropped a bombshell: he said he was the identities of “parliamentarians, former parliamentarians and or candidates in the Conservative Party of Canada who are engaged, or at high risk of, or for whom there’s clear intelligence, around foreign interference.” At the time, he said he had directed CSIS to “encourage” Poilievre to better “protect” his party. Two weeks later, Trudeau told the House of Commons that he had asked the country’s security and intelligence agencies to “figure out a way” to share intel, and “perhaps even some names,” with the Conservative leader. Poilievre’s office has previously stated that at no time has he, or Todd, been informed about any current or former Conservatives or candidates tied to interference activities CSIS on Monday did not answer the Star’s questions about what types of information Poilievre could receive, or whether he would definitively be able to share that information publicly. The agency did confirm to the Star, in response to queries about threat reduction measures in October, that there are “strict limits” on disclosing personal information about Canadians and those living in Canada, if “additional authorizations” are not obtained. Fadden said that while TRMs were “probably not written into law by Parliament for situations like this,” he is of the view that such a briefing would need to include identifying details. He said there are situations in which CSIS is able to “override” privacy laws if the agency obtains a warrant from a federal judge and if it is in Canada’s interests for the information to be shared. But Ward Elcock, who served as CSIS director from 1994 to 2004, said he expects that the spy agency will be approaching its briefing with Poilievre with the assumption that he could make whatever is shared public. “I would assume that that will also cause them to brief him in a way which may not give him enough information to actually act on the information he gets, and it may not be sufficiently precise and sufficiently clear (enough to) allow him to actually take action,” Elcock told the Star. “If they are in fact giving him all the information that he would get in a classified briefing, then they have created a new precedent, which is a little startling,” Elcock said. “But I would assume that that actually is not the case.” Both Fadden and Elcock believe Poilievre should have received the same security screenings as other party leaders. As prime minister, Trudeau is not required to undergo the clearances. Fadden said that should Poilievre receive personal details in his briefing, and if he chooses to disclose them, he’ll need to be cautious. “They risk ruining a person’s career and or life if they’re not careful,” Fadden said. “So I would assume Mr. Poilievre and his colleagues will think carefully before they would make the information public.”
