Trump’s expansionism includes Canada, Liberals plan leadership, tuberculosis in Montreal, and more
Description
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says he is prepared to use economic force to take over Canada. He says the U.S. is spending billions a year to protect Canada, and it would make sense to make it the 51st state. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted on X: “There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States.” Trump also wouldn’t rule out using the military to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal.
And: The federal Liberals are setting the rules for a leadership race, now that Justin Trudeau is stepping down. We’ll have a look at who might run, and what’s ahead for the party. The Conservatives are taking the opportunity to say that no matter who runs for Liberal leader, the ideas will be the same, and it’s time for change.
Also: Tuberculosis cases are on the rise in some Canadian cities. Health researchers say TB is affecting newcomers because of lower vaccination rates and wider infection rates in their home countries.
Plus: Earthquake in Tibet kills more than 120, Saskatchewan goes after wild pigs, and more.
