Welcome back to Your Midday Sun where in case you were wondering, if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were to set foot in Canada, Justin Trudeau would have him arrested.

In the wake of the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu, his former defence minister as well as Hamas officials, Trudeau said Canada would abide by the court's ruling, Bryan Passifiume reported.

Now, as far as Hamas supporters are concerned, that was music to their ears, Joe Warmington writes, as the tune Trudeau is playing is clear: Canada stands with Hamas.

Pat King, one of the most prominent figures of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa in January 2022, has been found guilty of two counts of mischief.

His defence argued that King was peacefully protesting during the three-week demonstration in Ottawa that gridlocked downtown streets to oppose COVID-19 public health restrictions.

But the Crown alleged he was a protest leader who was instrumental to the disruption it caused the city and people who lived and worked nearby.

Meta is refusing to publicly disclose information that could determine whether it is subject to the Online News Act despite blocking news from its platforms.

It has declined to follow CRTC directions to either publicly release that information or explain in detail why it should remain confidential, a move that Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge’s office says sends "a troubling message."

The Liberal government maintains the company could still fall under Online News Act, but that would be up to the CRTC to determine.

•  Ukraine’s parliament cancelled a session as security was tightened after Russia deployed a new ballistic missile while Russian troops also struck the city of Sumy with Shahed drones, killing two people and injuring 12 more.

•  A high-ranking leader of a Mexican drug cartel who lived in the U.S. under a phony identity after faking his own death has been arrested on federal charges.

In recent years, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford teamed up to hand $57 billion in electric vehicle manufacturing subsidies to wealthy auto giants like Volkswagen, Stellantis, Honda and General Motors.

Trudeau and Ford put billions of dollars on the line to coax automakers to build cars people aren’t buying. And it's only going to get worse with U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump about to retake the White House. That’s why taxpayers must demand Trudeau and Ford commit to ending EV corporate welfare.

For the first time since last April, the Toronto Raptors have won two straight games, thanks to a solid effort on Thursday night which included the return of Scottie Barnes.

And while he showed shades of rustiness after missing 11 games, Barnes played unselfishly while showing the kind of confidence the Raptors need ahead of a four-game road trip. Read on for the rest of Ryan Wolstat's takeaways from the Raptors' 110-105 win over the Timberwolves.

Golf influencer Paige Spiranac and pop singer Sabrina Carpenter are both beautiful, blonde, talented — and are infamous for embracing their sexuality in their careers.

But while one (Carpenter) is being praised for it during her performances, the other (Spiranac) has had to fight off trolls about it on social media. And Spiranac has had enough. More from Dan Bilicki.
