• PM says Conservatives are foreign interference risks, Trump doubles down on his threat to use military on U.S. citizens, and more
    Oct 16 2024

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre irresponsible for refusing security clearance. And says members of the Conservative Party are involved in or are at high risk for foreign interference. Trudeau also told the foreign interference inquiry about India's increasing presence in Canadian affairs. Just days ago, Ottawa expelled Indian diplomats over allegations of organised violence and extortion. We have numerous reports including analysis from Chief Political Correspondent Rosemary Barton.


    And: Donald Trump is again saying he’d turn the U.S. military on American citizens simply because they oppose his candidacy. His threat comes during a bizarre week of campaigning, in a neck and neck race.


    Plus: Patrolling the seas for illegal fishing, deaf man violently arrested by Phoenix police, a Canadian fighting for Ukraine, and more.

  • India-Canada political spat, inflation dips, Samidoun listed as terrorist entity, and more
    Oct 15 2024

    Canada's relationship with India is on the rocks again, after Ottawa expels six Indian diplomats. The RCMP says it has evidence that connects Indian agents to crimes of violence, extortion and coercion against Canadian citizens. We have reports from Ottawa and Delhi, where Indian officials and media say the allegations are vague and the evidence is weak.


    And: Canada’s inflation rate fell to 1.6% in September down from 2.0% the previous month. That raises speculation that more interest rate cuts may be on the way.


    Also: Samidoun, a group that says it advocates for Palestinian political prisoners, has been declared a terrorist entity by the U.S. and Canadian governments. Recently, at a Samidoun rally, a Canadian flag was burned with shouts of death to Canada.


    Plus: B.C. election, abortion as U.S. election issue, and foreign interference.
