Carney/Indigenous summit, Syria violence, voting at 16, and more
1Description
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s promise of “prosperity for generations” is not convincing all of the Indigenous leaders he met with today. They’re worried about legislation to push through infrastructure projects. The leaders say they aren’t being consulted.
And: Reports of more clashes between Druze and Bedouin groups and another Israeli airstrike in Southern Syria are putting pressure on a fragile ceasefire. Syria’s leadership is struggling to assert control and international officials are calling for calm.
Also: The next U.K. general election isn't expected for a few years. But when it happens, the government wants the electorate to be larger and younger. The government intends to lower the voting age to 16.
Plus: An experimental treatment uses the DNA of three people to create embryos without mitochondrial disease, Calgary defense lawyers say a police officer charged with double murder is getting preferential treatment, Arsenal pays $1.84 million for Canadian soccer star Olivia Smith, and more.
