O'Toole says Conservative caucus is united despite vote giving MPs power to oust him

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says the party caucus is fully united. Speaking after the party's first caucus meeting since last month's election defeat, O'Toole said all Conservatives were disappointed with the outcome, none more so than him. He says that's why it was announced today that outgoing Edmonton Centre MP James Cumming will hold a review of the Tory campaign. O'Toole says the review will ensure a thorough probe of where the party fell short and what it did right, so that it can win an election that could be here in the next 18 months.

PM accused of "callousness" for heading to Tofino during reconciliation events

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing continued backlash over his decision to fly to British Columbia to spend time with his family on the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. The Native Women's Association of Canada says it is shocked that Trudeau, in its words, ``ducked out entirely'' from a national day set aside to reflect on the legacy of residential schools. The Prime Minister's Office says he spent several hours on the phone talking to residential school survivors. He also participated in a ceremony on Parliament Hill on Wednesday night.

Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan puts names to 300 of 751 unmarked graves

A Saskatchewan First Nation says it has identified about 300 unmarked graves at a former Indian Residential School site.

In the months since, The First Nation has worked with the Roman Catholic Church, the RCMP and Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada to put names to the unmar

B.C. Premier-Designate Lorne Doerkson Calls for Immediate Halt to Work at George Massey Tunnel Site

British Columbia Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson is taking action on the proposed new George Massey Bridge, calling on the outgoing B.C.

Doerkson said only work that could support the construction of a new bridge should continue at the site. He said the move is aimed at preventing unnecessary taxpayer spending, as the incoming government plans to review the possibility of replacing the existing George Massey Tunnel with a bridge. The B.C. Conservatives, who are set to take office on November 20,
