Trudeau's former MP filed a case against the Attorney General of Ontario

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former MP Raj Grewal has sued the RCMP and Ontario's attorney general for $50-million in damages.

Feds seek ideas at national summit to help put brakes on auto theft

Miller says he is exploring diplomatic options and doesn't want to give up, but he also doesn't want to offer families false hope that the
