"The most trusted and esteemed program in American journalism, the legacy of our loved ones’ hard work and its accompanying sacrifices on the home front, has, in [Scott] Pelley’s words, been murdered," writes Sarah Safer, daughter of Morley Safer, who was a 60 Minutes correspondent for 46 years.

My father joined the program when I was eight months old and retired 46 years later. He would be encouraging journalists at CBS to speak out

I grew up in northern AB in a rural area full of brown, black, & grizzly bears. I've also lived in 6 different countries. And I can say without hesitation, I would choose the bear🐻 every👏🏻time👏🏻 A society where women feel safer with a 600-pound apex predator than a man is not a joke. It’s our reality.

Instagram-style post from user “gracieslvss” over a blurred fashion photo background. Text reads: “Why would you choose a bear over a man? Because since 1784 there have been 180 fatal bear attacks, while in 2021 alone, 81,100 women and girls were intentionally killed by men.” Instagram interface icons and a like count of 4,663 appear on the right side.

David McGuinty, Canada's Minister of National Defence, has responded to Donald Trump's claim that America has "never really asked anything" of NATO, that the alliance sent only "some troops" to Afghanistan and that "they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines." It's pretty blunt.

“There was no standing back. Only standing side by side, together on the front lines with our allies. From 2001-2014, Canada joined allies in the fight against terror in Afghanistan. CAF men and women were on the ground from the beginning, not because we had to, but because it was the right thing to do. Canadian troops led allied efforts in the perilous Kandahar Province. Combat operations were regular duty, demanding sacrifice from our soldiers. ​ 158 of our personnel, along with a Canadian diplomat paid the ultimate price. Lest we forget.”
