PM Trudeau is suggesting a probable link between Sunday's deadly attack in London and online hate

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is suggesting a probable link between Sunday's deadly attack on a Muslim family in London, Ont., and online hate. ``We just had a terrible tragedy a couple of nights ago, where a Muslim family three generations out for a walk on the side of the road, and they were viciously and inexplicably rundown deliberately,'' Trudeau said this morning during an online conference on government and the internet. ``And we don't yet know all the causes or reasons, but there is probably an element of online invitation to violence or access to things that we have to think about.''

But users and those working to reduce the deadly toll from the ongoing illicit drug crisis say naloxone is not enough as BC endures the highest-ever rate of overdoses, r

French leader Macron slapped in face on visit to small town

French President Emmanuel Macron has been slapped in the face by a man during a visit to a small town in southeast France. The incident on Tuesday prompted a wide show of support from politicians across the ideological spectrum. A video shows a man slapping Macron in the face and the president's bodyguards pushing the aggressor away as the head of state was quickly rushed from the scene in the town of Tain-l'Hermitage. The man appears to have cried out ``Montjoie! Saint Denis!'' a centuries-old royalist war cry, before finishing with ``A bas la Macronie,'' or ``Down with Macron.'' French broa
