    The Conservative Party brings their Khadr fight over the border. MP Peter Kent wrote a piece for the Wall Street Journal called “A Terrorist’s Big Payday, Courtesy of Trudeau,” MP Michelle Rempel made an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show and MP Cheryl Gallant accused the Canadian media of peddling fake news on the subject.

    The residents of Saint-Apollinaire, Quebec, reject a proposal for a Muslim cemetery.

    Trudeau releases his top jams.

    BuzzFeed news curator and social media editor Elamin Abdelmahmoud co-hosts.
