Tuesday: Iraq combat - Mulcair, Ron Francis obituary, Agatha Christie trunk, and more...
Opposition leader Tom Mulcair has been a vocal critic of the government's plan to fight ISIS -- and tonight, he'll make the case against the case for war...RCMP Corporal Ron Francis went public with his fight to use medical marijuana last year. Yesterday, the 43-year-old was found dead in his home...and a story about Agatha Christie, her mother, her mother's trunk, and the discovery of some secret jewels.
Part One
Iraq combat: Mulcair
With Canada's combat mission set to launch, Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair calls for a more "grounded" approach to the fight against ISIS.
Ron Francis obituary
Corporal Ron Francis, the New Brunswick RCMP officer who became known for fighting for his right to smoke marijuana while in uniform, was found dead yesterday at his home on the Kingsclear First Nation, at the age of 43.
Twin Peaks returns
Presumably, the owls will still not be what they seem. Or maybe they will, this time. There are a lot of questions about the return of "Twin Peaks", but one thing's for sure: the owner of the restaurant featured in the show will keep serving damn good coffee.
Part Two
Oilsands labels
The EU drops its plan to label the stuff from Canada's oilsands "dirty" -- but one European Member of Parliament still wants to make sure we don't get away clean.
Agatha Christie trunk
Jennifer Grant thought she'd scored a deal after buying a trunk at an Agatha Christie estate sale. But what she eventually found inside the trunk turned out to be even better.
Part Three
Afghan soldier
An Afghan army officer seeking asylum protection was rebuffed at the Canadian border after he went AWOL from a U.S. military training exercise.
Oilsands monitoring
No strategy on climate change, no plan to reduce emissions: no member of the federal government will be providing a blurb for the damning new report by Canada's Environment Commissioner.
