Moscow, Beijing targeting Canada's secret info and technology, spy agency warns
Canada's spy agency is openly warning that Russia and China are out to steal the country's most prized secrets. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service, which rarely identifies security threats by name, makes the frank statement in briefing notes prepared for service director Michel Coulombe. While Canada grapples with the problem of jihadi-inspired extremists, the long-standing threat of espionage is also a worrisome preoccupation, the spy agency says in the notes.

A 2-year-old Virginia girl whose parents went to court to block a hospital from performing a brain death test on the child has died, the hospital said Monday. Mirranda Grace Lawson passed away Nov. 1, said Michael Porter, a spokesman for Virginia Commonwealth University Health System.

Global NewsPence, who touts openness, tries to stop document release
Lawyers for Indiana Governor and Republican Vice-President-elect Mike Pence argued in court Monday that the state's judicial branch has no authority to require him to comply with Indiana's public records law. The civil case before Indiana's Court of Appeals was brought by Indianapolis attorney William Groth, who sued in 2015 after the Pence administration denied a request for un-redacted records, including a document related to Republican efforts to stop President Barack Obama's immigration executive order. In March, Pence vetoed a bill that would have exempted private universities from releasing some police records, calling it "a disservice to the public and an unnecessary barrier to transparency." And on the campaign trail he aggressively criticized Democrat Hillary Clinton for refusing to release emails sent from a private server she maintained while secretary of state.

CBCTrump auditions Cabinet prospects high above Manhattan
Donald Trump held court from his perch high above Manhattan on Monday, receiving a line of former rivals, longtime allies and TV executives while overseeing a presidential transition that at times resembles a reality show like the one he once hosted. Trump met with nearly a dozen prospective hires, all of whom were paraded in front of the cameras set up in the Trump Tower lobby as they entered an elevator to see the president-elect. Unlike his predecessors, who often spoke with Cabinet candidates under a cloud of secrecy, Trump has turned the search into a very public audition process.
The Canadian PressLaine's blazing start mirrors Ovechkin; Bolts without Stamkos; Jagr looking his age?
How do Patrik Laine's dazzling first 21 games stack up against Alex Ovechkin, the superstar goal-scorer he's long been compared to? Ovechkin would eventually beat out Sidney Crosby for the Calder Trophy in 2006, finishing with 52 goals and 106 points. The Russian star is now the grizzled 31-year-old captain of the Capitals and easily the greatest scorer of his generation and one of the best all-time. Laine has a long way to go to reach those heights, but he's on the right track in the earliest stages of his highly touted NHL career.

PHOTOS: Trudeau's trip to Peru for APEC summit
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is back in Ottawa after concluding his tour of South America with a stop in Lima over the weekend. The Canadian leader attended the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) summit, where world leaders from 21 countries discussed trade relationships. In a Nov. 20 news release, Trudeau says he met with the leaders of Australia, Mexico, the U.S. and Vietnam. He also had “fruitful discussions” with the president of Peru and aimed to enhance exchanges with the country. “Peru remains a key partner for Canada in the Americas,” Trudeau said in a statement. There was also plenty of talk surrounding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal, which appears to be in limbo after Donald Trump was elected to the U.S. presidency with a campaign pledge to pull out of the 12-nation agreement, which includes Canada. Despite the uncertainty of U.S. involvement, Trudeau says he remains committed to world trade. “Canada feels strongly that trade and investment with other APEC economies, and support for our small and medium sized enterprises, are critical to our country's economic future and middle class growth,” Trudeau said.

The clash occurred late Sunday and early Monday as protesters trying to push past a long-blocked bridge on a state highway were turned back by authorities using tear gas, rubber bullets and water hoses. Protesters and officers massed at the bridge again late Monday morning, but protesters dispersed a few hours later at the request of tribal elders after police warned the crowd that they'd identified firearms and that anyone with a weapon should leave.
