Trump says 'highly unlikely' U.S. ever uses military force to annex Canada
U.S. President Donald Trump says it is "highly unlikely" the United States would ever use military force to annex Canada.
In a wide-ranging interview on NBC's "Meet The Press" which aired Sunday, Trump says he wouldn't rule it out against Greenland, but says he doesn't see it happening with Canada.
The remarks come as Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to have his first face-to-face meeting with Trump this week in Washington.

Alberta's Smith says she doesn't see 'an appetite' for provincial pension plan
The idea of Alberta opting out of the Canada Pension Plan isn't going anywhere -- at least for now. Premier Danielle Smith says she won't be putting the creation of a provincial pension plan to a referendum any time soon.

In December, Canada's chief actuary published a report saying Alberta's perceived stake of the Canadian Pension Plan's overall assets was substantially over

PM Carney said that this would be a big drop from the 7.3 per cent in recent years.
At the same time, the prime minister said that work will be done to attract the best talent from around the
