And: The federal Liberals have been gaining MPs after two crossed the floor from the Conservatives. In a year-end interview with CBC’s Rosemary Barton, Prime Minister Mark Carney says more MPs could cross the floor to join the government.


Also: U.S. ski resorts are bracing for a holiday season without the typical boost from Canadian travelers. Canadians have been avoiding travelling to the United States since President Donald Trump launched a trade war and joked about Canada becoming the 51st state.
