The New York Times reports that Kash Patel temporarily halted some FBI cooperation with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) after the CBC reminded its journalists not to refer to the September 11 attacks as “terrorism” without expert attribution. This decision was seen as an "extraordinary move" by Patel, who criticized the CBC's language policy and warned that any agency supporting this stance would face consequences from the FBI. The disruption in cooperation was brief but affected some aspects of intelligence-sharing between the two agencies.

Story summary
On Wednesday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford praised Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow during a press conference for her work and their relationship, hinting at support for her re-election bid. This followed the announcement of a new financial deal between the province and the city, leading some to interpret Ford's comments as an endorsement. However, over 30 hours later, on Thursday evening, Ford’s office issued a statement clarifying that these remarks were not intended as an official endorsement and that he will not endorse any candidate in Toronto’s mayoral race. The clarification came after Chow’s main rival, Brad Bradford, claimed Ford had endorsed Chow. Ford and Chow have developed a working relationship despite their different political backgrounds, with the Premier highlighting over $9 billion in funding provided to the city under his leadership.

The source of Patel’s ire, according to The Times, was a memo CBC circulated to reporters and editors across its news platforms ahead of the 9/11 anniversary reminding them not to refer to the attacks that claimed 3,000 lives and changed the modern world as “terrorist attacks.”

The CBC quickly reversed its policy after the memo was leaked to the media and criticized by Canadian and U.S. officials, including the U.S. ambassador to Canada and Patel.

In a pointed critique, the FBI director referred to the language policy as a “bastardization of history.”

Patel’s “abrupt move,” The Times said, “risked disrupting F.B.I. operations with Canada and jeopardizing the organization’s relationship with Canada’s national law enforcement agency, which works closely with the bureau on a wide range of issues, including terrorism and cybersecurity cases.”
