A former senior executive at St. Michael’s Hospital and the former president of an Ontario construction company have been charged as part of a long-standing criminal probe into corruption at one Canada’s premier healthcare facilities:

The rate of sexual-assault complaints that police reject as “unfounded” has dropped by more than half since a Globe and Mail investigation put a spotlight on the issue five years ago.

theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… Today, 8 per cent of sexual assaults reported to police are being closed as unfounded, a law-enforcement term that means the allegation is false or baseless.

This is down from the 19-per-cent rate that The Globe reported in its 2017 Unfounded series.

Pierre Poilievre’s critics have labelled him a Canadian Donald Trump, and he has mirrored populist MAGA techniques. tgam.ca/3qJLPlu But Mr. Poilievre is no Donald Trump in tenets or temperament. He doesn’t echo the anti-immigrant rhetoric, and abhors Mr. Trump’s gargantuan deficits. tgam.ca/3qJLPlu

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paid his respects to Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday, ahead of a gathering with King Charles and other prime ministers of the realm. tgam.ca/3LqCJn9 Mr. Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, attended the Queen’s lying-in-state with Canada’s High Commissioner to Britain, Ralph Goodale. tgam.ca/3LqCJn9
