It's time for fun and frivolity with Facebook Friday! I find the best from the best.

This one, "So the guy asked me who has more fun than people. Dogs, I said. Dogs have more fun than people."

Speaking of dogs, I like this, "I shouldn't let my dog sleep in my bed? Dude, my dog can take out a credit card in my name if he wants to."

Here's a friend who shares, "I've reached the age where I appreciate a nice handrail."

Canada’s unemployment rate held steady at 6.5 per cent last month as hiring remained weak across the economy.

Statistics Canada’s labour force survey on Friday said employment rose by a modest 15,000 jobs in October.

Business, building and support services saw the largest gain in employment.

Meanwhile, finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing experienced the largest decline.

Many economists see weakness in the job market continuing in the short term, before the Bank of Canada’s interest rate cuts spark a rebound in economic growth next year.

A veteran Ottawa Citizen journalist who was accused by a former cabinet minister of being a Russian asset said it is the "height of irony" that a parliamentary committee studying disinformation has fallen for it. 

David Pugliese told the House of Commons security committee on Thursday he found it astonishing that none of the MPs challenged the allegations when they were made last month. 

Moose Jaw North MLA Tim McLeod has been named to the provincial government’s cabinet with a new portfolio. 

Premier Scott Moe announced his cabinet on Thursday with McLeod being named the Minister of Justice and Attorney General and the Minister of Corrections and Public Safety McLeod was also named the Government House Leader.
