File - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is offering his family's best wishes to U.S. President Donald Trump and the first lady.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is offering his family's best wishes to U.S. President Donald Trump and the first lady.

Trudeau says he and his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, hope the president and Melania Trump recover fully from COVID-19.

Trump announced early this morning that both he and his wife have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Gregoire Trudeau tested positive for COVID-19 in March after returning from a trip to England.

She recovered within weeks, and the prime minister never contracted the virus.

But Trudeau points out it's the same news many Canadians are getting.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is among the world leaders sending their best wishes to US President Donald Trump and his wife after their positive COVID-19 tests.

Johnson says on hearing the news, he got in touch with the White House immediately.

However, underlying inflation has eased, offering some relief to the central bank. Ongoing trade tensions with the United States and the crisis in the Middle East could put further upward pressure on inflation. According to KPMG Canada, the Bank of Canada i

Eby Urges Green Party Voters to Back NDP as Emily Lowan Fires Back Ahead of B.C. Election

Political activity has intensified in the final week of British Columbia’s provincial election campaign, with NDP Leader David Eby urging Green Party supporters to vote for the NDP, prompting a sharp response from Green Party Leader Emily Lowan.

Four Canadian Soldiers Killed in Explosion at Alberta Military Training Base

Four Canadian Armed Forces personnel were killed in an explosion following a wildfire at the Wainwright military training base in Alberta on Saturday, while 39 other soldiers suffered serious burn injuries. Nineteen of the injured remain in critical condition. Military officials acknowledged that they had been aware of the fire but initially did not consider it a threat, as it was approximately one kilometre away and appeared to be under control. Live-fire training was therefore allowed to continue. However, strong gusts of wind suddenly changed the fire’s direction in the evening, allowing
