Canada: Trudeau On The Edge As Freeland Resigns In Defiance

Canada: Justin Trudeau Faces Resignation Calls From Own MPs

<p>A Russian woman earlier accused of stowing away on a flight from New York to Paris was arrested again while on her way to Canada, authorities confirmed on Monday (Dec 16). Following her Paris flight fiasco, she was held in Philadelphia and was ordered not to leave the area except for court proceedings or meetings with her lawyers. However, she allegedly cut off her GPS-monitoring ankle device and boarded a bus to Canada.</p>

<p>The New York Times reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Buffalo had arrested her again. The woman, named Svetlana Dali, is now scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday (Dec 17).</p>

<p>Last month, Dali grabbed global headlines after managing to enter a Delta fight without a boarding pass. She was spotted at John F Kennedy International Airport on November 26. Later, it was revealed that she entered the aircraft “through a special lane for airline employees masked by a large Air Europa flight crew."</p>

<p>The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said in a statement, “This is the only reported case of unauthorized access when over 18 million passengers were screened at TSA security checkpoints during the busiest Thanksgiving travel season ever. No one has ever fully breached the TSA security screening process."</p>

A Russian woman earlier accused of stowing away on a flight from New York to Paris was arrested again while on her way to Canada, authorities confirmed on Monday (Dec 16).

<p>Canada’s largest province is threatening to block energy exports to US in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff warning. In a recent social media post, the GOP leader declared he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming into the US from Canada. Trump says these tariffs are retaliation to Canada’s failure in securing their parts of the border from fentanyl traffickers and illegal migrants. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has said we will cut off “their energy” to protect Canadian interests.</p>

<p>“We will go to the extent of cutting off their energy — going down to Michigan, going down to New York State and over to Wisconsin. I don’t want this to happen, but my number one job is to protect Ontarians and Canadians as a whole,” Ford said during a meeting of premiers called by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Parliament Hill Wednesday (Dec 11).</p>

<p>The Ontario premier added that Canada needed “to be ready, ready to fight”. “This fight is coming 100 percent on Jan 20 or Jan 21.”</p>

Three climbers from the United States and Canada who went missing on New Zealand's highest mountain last week are believed to have died, police said on Friday. US nationals Kurt Blair, 56, and Carlos Romero, 50, and a Canadian man whom police have not named, flew by helicopter on Saturday to a camp on Mount Cook, or Aoraki, with plans to summit the 3,724 metre (12,218 ft) mountain.
