A recent post on for KING & COUNTRY's Facebook page has hit record views according to the band.

Since sharing 14-year-old Jaukeem Forston's performance of  "God Only Knows" on The Voice on Facebook, the video has reached over 53 million views. 

"Jaukeem! Mate, you did an amazing job with God Only Knows!" said the band in a post on Facebook. "We are truly honoured, and we are cheering you on in the journey." 

If no political party is willing to say uncle, the drawn-out stalemate in the House of Commons is heading for an unprecedented situation that could amount to a tacit lack of confidence in the government, without anyone in Parliament casting a vote. 

The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have already announced plans to try to bring down the government and trigger an election with a non-confidence motion at the next opportunity. But there's no telling when that opportunity will come, because the House has been gridlocked in a filibuster for more than a month.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government could have acted faster on reining in immigration programs, after blaming "bad actors" for gaming the system.

Trudeau released a nearly seven-minute video on YouTube Sunday talking about the recent reduction in permanent residents being admitted to Canada and changes to the temporary foreign worker program. 

Over the next two years, the permanent residency stream is being reduced by about 20 per cent to 365,000 in 2027.

Two men are to stand trial on human smuggling charges this week, almost three years after a family from India was found frozen to death on the border between Manitoba and Minnesota.

Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel and Steve Shand are accused of being part of a large operation that brought Indian nationals to Canada on student visas and then smuggled them across the United States border.

The men have pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to transport aliens causing serious bodily injury and placing lives in jeopardy.

A spokesperson for CAA says now is the time to make sure your vehicle is ready for the winter driving season.

Nadia Matos is Manager of External Communications with CAA. She says when daytime highs are a consistent seven degrees for one week, you should consider getting your winter tires installed. 

"If you haven't already booked your appointment with your mechanic, do so, the snow is coming, we know it is," she says. "It's really kind of take action right now."

A system moving up from Texas is expected to bring winter weather to Winnipeg and southern Manitoba this week. 

"It's a low-pressure system coming from the United States," says Kyle McAulay, a meteorologist with Environment Canada. "It's going to be affecting the province starting tonight, just after midnight. It's going to generally start as rain and some chances of freezing rain."

November has brought warmer-than-usual temperatures to southern Manitoba.
