Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrives in Normandy to mark 80th anniversary of D-Day
The sky was overcast but the sea was calm as a dark green amphibious vehicle rose up out of the gentle waves in Courseulles-sur-Mer, France, on Monday afternoon.
On board the restored Second World War-era vehicle, Jim Parks watched the shoreline of Juno Beach approach just as he did on June 6, 1944, as a 19-year-old member of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles.
The sea voyage was a surprise for Parks, a 99-year-old Canadian, arranged by Dutch friends who specialize in historical re-enactments.
Poll suggests half of Canadians have negative opinion of latest Liberal budget
A new poll suggests the Liberals have not won over voters with their latest budget, though there is broad support for their plan to build millions of homes.
Just shy of half the respondents to Leger's latest survey said they had a negative opinion of the federal budget, which was presented last Tuesday.
Only 21 per cent said they had a positive opinion, and one-third of respondents said they didn't know or preferred not to answer.
As NATO alliance marks 75 years, Russia and Donald Trump again threaten its future
Brussels is playing host to foreign ministers from 32 countries this week to mark 75 years since the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
As the alliance celebrates its anniversary, it's staring down the familiar threat of an unpredictable Russia.
It's also bracing for the prospect of another perilous situation that it has faced once before: a Donald Trump presidency.
Canadians helped plan U.S., U.K. attacks on Houthis in Yemen: Defence Department
Canadian Armed Forces members provided planning support for the U.S.-led attack on Houthi positions in Yemen, but the Defence Department said Friday that no Canadian assets were involved.
The U.S. said they and the U.K. attacked more than 60 targets at 16 sites used by the Iran-backed group in Yemen on Thursday to demonstrate that the allies will not tolerate the group’s attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
Mother of peacekeeper killed in Bosnia is this year's Silver Cross Mother
Chris Holopina called his mom in Manitoba every single week while he was deployed in Bosnia in 1996.
At 23, he was doing exactly what he'd always wanted to do: serving in the Canadian Armed Forces as a combat engineer.
Gloria Hooper remembers how grateful she was that he was able to find time for those weekly calls.
"I couldn't believe it," she said in an interview on Tuesday from her home in St. Claude, Man.
Almost half of Canadians living paycheque to paycheque as Tory support grows: poll
A new poll suggests nearly half of Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque as the cost of living crisis continues to squeeze household budgets, and young people are more likely to say their finances are in poor shape.
It also suggests the Conservatives, who are hammering home a message about affordability, are gaining popularity, with 38 per cent of respondents saying they'd vote for the Tories if an election were held today.
And support for the Liberals, who focused their recent cabinet retreat on the housing crisis, is slipping.
Two art heists, 50 years apart: expert says Canada is a 'soft target'
It’s not clear how they did it: was it a clandestine operation, carried out under the cloak of darkness? An elaborate ruse, designed to fool onlookers? Or something else?
However it happened, it’s clear those who stole a world-famous portrait of Sir Winston Churchill from the Château Laurier planned the heist meticulously.
It took more than eight months for anyone to realize the photo hanging from the wood-panelled walls of the Reading Lounge was a fake.
Château Laurier believes swap of famous Churchill portrait was by a 'professional'
The Château Laurier says it's been able to narrow down a time frame of when it believes a famous portrait of Sir Winston Churchill was stolen from its walls: sometime between Christmas Day last year and Jan. 6.
The hotel appealed for help from the public yesterday after a staff member noticed the photo wasn't hung correctly over the weekend, and an inspection revealed that the portrait was a copy, not an original.
Famous Yousuf Karsh portrait of Sir Winston Churchill stolen from Château Laurier
It sounds like a caper from a movie: a thief seems to have swapped out the famous portrait of a scowling Sir Winston Churchill, photographed by Yousuf Karsh in 1941, with a signed copy.
A staff member at Ottawa's Château Laurier noticed on Friday that the frame in the Reading Lounge wasn't hanging properly and didn't look the same as the others in the collection. An inspection revealed the photo in the frame was not the original, but it is not clear how long the copy has been hanging.
Investigator says missing Canadian woman found in Ohio after 42 years
On July 16, 1980, Dale Nancy Wyman left her Ottawa-area home with a suitcase full of her belongings, took a taxi to a Greyhound bus station and vanished. She didn't say where she was going and her family had no idea where to look.
More than four decades later, a woman from Ohio contacted Wyman's siblings, who had never stopped looking for her. She had seen a video of Wyman's younger sister, Brenda Larche, asking for information to help the family find peace and closure, and realized the woman Larche was looking for was her mother.
