MONTREAL — Prime Minister Mark Carney said he will consult with an independent advisory board set up under former prime minister Justin Trudeau before he moves to fill a growing list of Senate vacancies.

Carney has largely held his cards close to his chest on how he plans to go about making appointments to the Senate until now, and has yet to make an

The U.S. government wants Google to unmask an anonymous Canadian critic of President Donald Trump, a move the American Civil Liberties Union says could have a chilling effect on free speech.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration’s approach to the Iran war over the past 24 hours has pinballed from declarations that a tenuous ceasefire was holding and military operations were over to the Islamic Republic.

Tuesday started with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth explaining how the U.S. military was so they could traverse the Strait of Hormuz. He insisted it was a defensive operation and the truce was still in place even though at U.S. forces, which sank Tehran’s small attack boats.
