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. Trump also downplayed the United States' reliance on Canadian imports, telling NBC his country doesn't need anything of Canada's. The U.S. imported $412.7 billion of Canad

The sexual assault trial of five former members of Canada's world junior hockey team is hearing today from other players who were on the 2018 team.

It's a day of remembrance and mourning in British Columbia today for victims of the deadly attack at a Filipino festival, as the suspect in the killings faces court. A community spokesman says the official day of mourning for the 11 people who died after an SUV sped through a crowded street will be part of the healing process but "certainly not the end of it."

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. Smith says she doesn't think Albertans have ``an appetite'' to pull out of the national pension program, and says the issue is further clouded by lack of detail on how much the province would get if it left. 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
