Scene from anti-G7 protests in Geneva, where thousands have gathered to march.

The city has a heavy police presence and many businesses are boarded up.

These measures are part of lessons learned after anti-G8 Summit protests in 2003 led to riots. #G7 #cdnpoli

1/9 (A Thread) I very rarely do this but DND/PSPC/DIA left me no choice. What you’re about to read is an important accountability lesson for Canada’s government - in a space where tens of billions of dollars are being spent - or about to be spent.

The Defence Minister has now issued a clarification. He said he was informed "immediately" about the strike and this morning's comments were in reference to when he knew about the media report.

[Jordan Gowling @GowlingJordan]

Today the Defence Minister said he only learned about the Iranian missile attack on the Ali Al-salem Air Base in Kuwait where CAF were stationed after La Presse reported on it.

Defense Minister David McGuinty yesterday: revealing the fact Camp Canada in Kuwait was struck by missile(s) could “compromise” security.

Some personal news, starting Monday I will be moving over to the @nationalpost as a general assignment reporter covering politics!

I have enjoyed my time @financialpost covering the economy beat and I want to thank my FP colleagues. I'm excited for this next chapter.

The Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% this morning, as expected.

The central bank said the economy has been more resilient and there is some improvement in the labour market.

The bank said uncertainty remains and will be prepared to respond if needed. #cdnecon

Canada's unemployment rate fell to 6.5% in November, down from its peak of 7.1% in September.

The Canadian economy added 54,000 jobs last month, mostly in part-time work. Notably, the labour force also shrunk by 26,000.

Wholesale and manufacturing still struggling.
