An Ipsos poll for Global TV suggests that 60% of Canadians think Justin Trudeau is doing a good job handling Donald Trump. The poll also suggests that the more highly educated a person is, the more likely the person is to support the Democratic Party, while those with less education tend to support Republicans. Older people – age 55 and up –  are more likely to think Trump is performing better than expected, while younger people are not.(Photo: Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press) Learn more about your ad choices.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says ISIS terrorists who have returned to Canada could be an "extraordinarily powerful voice" against being radicalized and traveling abroad to join a terror group.

The Roy Green Show According to a poll from Rasmussen Reports, most Americans believe that Donald Trump should resign from the office of U.S. President if he is guilty of the sexual harassment of which he has been accused. Meanwhile, there is concern that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible Russian involvement in the 2016 election has illegally obtained thousands of emails.
