And the Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says that in B.C., ​emissions are going up despite it being home to Canada's highest carbon tax.

Dr. Bjorn Lomborg was declared by TIME magazine to be amount the world's 100 Most Influential People.

He says it is real and in the long term will be a problem, but its impact is less than we might believe.

Now Pentagon Chief of Staff, Admiral Kevin Sweeney has announced his resignation. Is the U.S. military sending the President a message?

Sworn in this past Thursday as new Utah GOP Senator, Mitt Romney, after accepting Donald Trump's endorsement prior to the November U.S. election, wrote an op ed for the Washington Post in which he declares President Trump has not risen to the demands of the Office.
