Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. “Coordinating Very Closely” with Canada After Attacks

HeadlineOct 24, 2014

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the Obama administration is working closely with Canada in the wake of the attacks.

Josh Earnest: “President Obama yesterday offered Canada any assistance that’s necessary in responding to these attacks, and our respective national security teams are coordinating very closely, including again today. As the president said yesterday, when it comes to dealing with terrorist activity, it is clear that Canada and the United States have to be entirely in sync. We have been in the past, and we will continue to be in the future.”

The shooting in Canada came one day after six Canadian fighter jets departed to join the U.S.-led war against the Islamic State in Iraq.
