THE GLOBE AND MAIL
** The Liberal government is reiterating its support for a two-state solution in the Middle East but did not go to the same extent as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in strongly denouncing Israeli settlement-building following a stinging rebuke from the United Nations. https://tgam.ca/2iMmZAE
** A long-time Vancouver police officer honoured by the department for protecting young sex workers from exploitation is facing six criminal charges related to the alleged sexual assaults of two victims last year - one of whom was a minor at the time who may have been a witness in an ongoing court case. https://tgam.ca/2iMhbqE
** Georgia Collins, a candidate for British Columbia New Democratic Party nomination on Vancouver Island, has withdrawn from the race, saying she endured sexism and harassment during her campaign and that the opposition party's response to it was disappointing. https://tgam.ca/2iMc4H9
NATIONAL POST
** Four Canadian post-secondary schools, including the University of Toronto and McGill University, have landed on a provocative list of North America's 40 "worst" campuses for Jewish students. http://bit.ly/2iMmuXd
** For Canada, one of the first potential flashpoints in the new bilateral universe could be in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Even prior to Trump's election, the Americans were threatening to cut ferry services to the port city on the province's northern coast, unless Ottawa allows Buy America provisions to apply on Canadian soil - something the previous government called "an affront to Canadian sovereignty". http://bit.ly/2iMk4aP (Compiled by Shalini Nagarajan in Bengaluru)
