There is a lot of misinformation circulating right now.
Misinformation can result in people being left uninformed & can put lives at risk during a crisis.
Take a minute to pause & verify facts.
We are profoundly saddened to learn of the death of Senator Ian Shugart, former clerk of the Privy Council. A dedicated public servant, he serves as an inspiration to all of us. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.

The RCMP is closely monitoring the events in Israel. While we are not aware of any specific threats to Jewish communities in Canada, we are working closely with policing partners, domestically and internationally, to ensure the safety of our citizens.
Today is Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. Every year we hold a service to honour all Canadian police and peace officers who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Today, the flag on the Peace Tower will be flown at half-mast from sunrise to sunset to mark Firefighters’ National Memorial Day. This day pays tribute to the firefighters who died in the line of duty.
