2. Would or wouldn't? U.S. President Donald Trump now claims that when he said he didn’t see any reason why Russia "would" interfere in the 2016 U.S. election, he had meant to say "wouldn’t."

4. Abdoul Abdi case: Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale tweeted Tuesday that the government “will not pursue deportation” for Abdoul Abdi, a former child refugee who pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer.
5. Public health warning: Following a public health investigation, an Ottawa medical clinic has sent letters to 4,600 of its patients advising them to get tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV because of issues with “improperly cleaned medical instruments.”
