Lest we forget
Last year the Commonwealth War Graves Commission asked for volunteers to lend a hand to the custodians of Canada’s war dead. Since then, more than 600 people have stepped up to look after the graves of the country’s warriors, scrubbing their headstones and trimming the weeds around their plots.
The context: The commission is responsible for caring for 15,000 such graves at nearly 3,000 Canadian sites. Until recently, tending them meant dispatching staff all over the country.

Carney to warn Xi against foreign interference
Prime Minister Mark Carney said he will tell Chinese President Xi Jinping when they meet privately next week that foreigners shouldn’t interfere in Canadian affairs. The visit comes as the FBI is looking into whether Nvidia chief executive officer Jensen Huang was a target of foreign intelligence, after he admitted having had an affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy for Beijing.
The agenda: Carney begins a whirlwind trip Wednesday that will take him to a gathering of European leaders in Ireland and then three Asian summits: the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in China, the Francophonie summit in Phnom Penh and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Manila.

U.S. House derails attempt to impeach Hegseth
The U.S. House of Representatives turned aside a resolution to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth for his conduct in office and his handling of the war in Iran. The vote may only delay an impeachment push, with Democrats set to take control of the House and Senate in January.
David Shribman says: The House voted down a bid to impeach Hegseth, but it’s clear Democrats will be gunning for him.

Nvidia shares plunge for second day
Nvidia shares extended losses yesterday, putting the chip giant on track to shed more than US$470-billion in market value over two sessions as concerns mounted over the fallout from CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy for Beijing.
Who is Alice Huang: Also known also as Huang Le, she built a career in Chinese finance before emerging in a very different arena: the global race for artificial-intelligence chips.
Opinion: Nvidia investors may make peace with the Jensen Huang affair sooner than you think.
The Take
The oddball accounting in the recent immigration levels plans obscures the fact that the number of people being granted permanent residency is rising.

Ottawa should be talking about the immigration system’s problems. A numbers game is not the way to restore public trust, writes The Globe’s Editorial Board.
