And: On his second day in New York, PM Justin Trudeau turns his attention to Haiti. Canada is pushing for more to be done to help rout violent gangs from the country and restore democracy.

Also: Grizzly bear attacks on people – including one earlier this month – are adding pressure on the Alberta government to launch its promised hunt of dangerous bears.
