Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks:
"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

VICTORY! In late 2023 I (among many others) wrote about the reckless plan to destroy the historic probate records after digitising them. My column from the time is here inews.co.uk/opinion/gove... Today the government has confirmed it has had a rethink and dropped the plan. Good sense prevails
