Trump’s invasion threats violate international law: Canadian ambassador
The Canadian ambassador to France says threats by United States President Donald Trump to invade another country violate international law.
"I'm just saying that in order to respect international law, you don't threaten your neighbours by invasion," Stéphane Dion said.
Trump has said he wouldn’t rule out using military force to take over Greenland, which is part of Denmark.
Trump said again Sunday that he wants to see Canada become a U.S. state after being asked about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent comments saying that Trump is not joking.

CBSA to use facial recognition app for people facing deportation: documents
The Canada Border Services Agency plans to implement an app that uses facial recognition technology to keep track of people who have been ordered to be deported from the country.

Canada's foreign worker program 'breeding ground' for modern slavery: report
A recently released international report says Canada's temporary foreign worker program is a "breeding ground" for contemporary slavery.
The final report by a United Nations special rapporteur who visited Canada last year says a power imbalance prevents workers from exercising their rights.
A worker's status is dependent on a closed work permit that is specific to their employer. If an individual is fired, they may be deported from Canada.
Workers are subject to a wide range of abuses and aren't always aware of their rights, the report says.
Strike for Canadian border workers on hold until Wednesday: union
The union that represents 9,000 CBSA workers said Friday they won't strike until at least Wednesday, as mediation continues.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada initially said border workers were set to strike as early as 4 p.m. Friday if the two sides hadn't reached a deal.
But shortly after 4 p.m., a spokesperson for the union said negotiations would continue.
The spokesperson said later Friday that a new strike deadline would be set in the coming days and job action was still possible if an agreement couldn't be reached at the table.
