Trump claimed that Canada is "considering the offer." When asked about Trump's comments, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he won't negotiate in public.

RCMP arrest Edmonton teen allegedly connected to online terrorism network

RCMP say they have arrested an Alberta teen because investigators believe the youth will commit terrorism offences. Mounties allege a 15-year-old from Edmonton was planning to commit offences related to the COM/764. They say it is a violent online network that lures youth and encourages them to commit sexual acts, self-harm and animal torture. Investigators say they have commenced proceedings against the youth by way of a terrorism peace bond. A peace bond allows investigators to monitor people who appear likely to commit a crime when there's no evidence of an actual offence.

It is worth noting that Harvard University is a prestigious university in the US, in which thousands of students fr
