Tory MP sorry for Mulcair comment
OTTAWA -- Conservatives found themselves cringing once again Monday at the ramblings of caucus colleague Rob Anders -- this time a brazen suggestion NDP Leader Tom Mulcair helped hasten the death of predecessor Jack Layton.
The Calgary MP dropped a whopper in an interview published Monday by political news website iPolitics.
"I actually think one of the great stories that was missed by journalists was that Mr. Mulcair, with his arm twisted behind the scenes, helped to hasten Jack Layton's death," Anders was quoted by iPolitics as saying.
Anders quickly issued a written apology for what he described as his "insensitive and inconsiderate" remarks. Olivia Chow, Layton's widow, said she accepted it.
Remains of missing Canadian found
ELKO, Nev. -- The remains of a missing Canadian man whose wife survived for seven weeks in the Nevada wilderness after the couple got lost have been found a year and a half after he disappeared.
Albert Chretien's whereabouts have been a mystery since the couple's van got stuck in March 2011.
Det. Dennis Journigan of the Elko County Sheriff's Office said Chretien's remains were discovered Saturday by two elk hunters in a secluded area of Merritt Mountain, about 11 kilometres west from where he set off. Journigan said Chretien was identified by items found in his pockets, including an address book.
Trudeau launching leadership campaign
OTTAWA -- Justin Trudeau is launching his leadership campaign today with an evening rally designed to demonstrate he's got the steak, as well as the sizzle, needed to resuscitate the once-mighty federal Liberal party.
As many as 500 supporters are expected to attend the launch at a community centre in Trudeau's Montreal riding of Papineau.
