A judge has set January 10 as the date for sentencing former U.S. President Donald Trump on charges related to a hush money case involving a porn star. All eyes are on the court's decision, which will come 10 days before Trump is set to be sworn in as president for a second term.

However, Manhattan Judge Juan Marchon has indicated that Trump will not be sent to prison. Regardless of the final decision, it is certain that Trump will become the first president to reach the White House with a criminal conviction.

Donald Trump was convicted in May of 34 serious counts of tampering with business records.

In 2016, he paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 through his former personal lawyer to prevent her from revealing their sexual relationship that had occurred a decade earlier.

Former PM Harper blasts Liberal leadership candidate Carney's economic record

Former prime minister Stephen Harper is taking shots at Liberal leadership frontrunner Mark Carney's economic record.

Harper makes the attacks in a letter attached to a Conservative Party fundraising email. He argues that Carney does not have experience with managing the Canadia

Eby pledged that his BC NDP government would build new hospitals, expand rapid transit, and invest in schools if re-elected.
