Holding pattern in Ottawa, Trump taunt, Montreal synagogue arson, and more
1Description
Justin Trudeau hasn’t said anything about Chrystia Freeland’s resignation. And that silence is being filled by the voices of others – some calling on him to resign, others wondering if he will shuffle the cabinet and try to hold on.
And: Donald Trump posts again about Canada becoming the 51st state. He’s tying it to his demands about the border and claims the U.S. is subsidizing Canada. Ottawa has shown a willingness to meet some of Trump’s demands, despite the insults.
Also: A Montreal synagogue is attacked – again. An incendiary device caused a small fire, and the window of a Jewish advocacy group next door was smashed. The prime minister condemns it as a “vile antisemitic attack”.
Plus: The dipping loonie, misinformation from India, astonishing recovery from a shark attack, and more.
