It's official: PM Justin Trudeau announced that he is resigning as leader of the Liberal party and as Prime Minister. This morning he asked the Governor General to prorogue Parliament until March 24.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Lara Burns, a retired FBI special agent with more than 23 years of experience leading teams in complex international terrorism investigations and Dr. Stephanie Carvin, Assistant Professor of International Affairs at Carleton University and an expert on national security issues. We now know that the man behind the terrorist attack in New Orleans, U.S citizen Shamsud-Din Jabbar, had visited Ontario in July of 2023.
