The RCMP initiated internal inquiries after Kash Patel, director of the FBI, criticized a CBC/Radio-Canada guideline regarding the use of the word "terrorism." Sources indicate that these inquiries were to assess whether the FBI had halted intelligence sharing with the RCMP as a result of Mr. Patel’s criticism and subsequent threats on X (formerly Twitter). However, according to three national-security sources, no evidence was found indicating an interruption in cooperation between the RCMP and the FBI.

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.
