In the news today: Remembrance Day, Carney goes to Europe, B.C. rainstorm
Carney will leave after the ceremony for summit meetings in Ireland, the Philippines, Cambodia and China to advance trade and security ties.
Prime Minister Mark Carney joins Governor General Louise Arbour and other dignitaries at Ottawa's National War Memorial this morning for the annual Remembrance Day Ceremony organized by the Royal Canadian Legion.
This year's ceremonies occur weeks after a tragic fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright claimed the lives of four soldiers during a training exercise gone wrong, injuring dozens of others.
Shortly after the ceremony, Carney will depart for Dublin to kick off a one-day closed-door meeting of the European Political Community tomorrow, marking the start of his extended summit circuit.
The trip encompasses stops in Ireland, the Philippines, Cambodia, and China, positioning Carney amid high-stakes diplomacy between the United States, China, and Russia during critical international negotiations.
Meanwhile, Environment Canada has issued orange rainfall warnings for British Columbia's south coast, with atmospheric river systems delivering up to 160 millimetres of rain and conditions expected to persist into the weekend.
