Support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to bring in 25,000 refugees by the end of the year appears to have ebbed in the aftermath of the Paris terrorism attacks, with a majority of Canadians surveyed disapproving of the policy.

Canadians broadly approve of both the country’s bombing mission against Islamic State and its program of training those who fight the militant group.

We’ve heard Senators coach Dave Cameron and Senators players talk about the need to play grittier. Now let’s hear assistant coach Jason Smith’s explanation for how the Senators can be harder to play against in their own end. “We could be a little more competitive and be on the inside (of the ice) and work […]
