The U-N held an emergency debate on a chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians in an opposition-held town that left several dozen people dead.

U-S ambassador to the U-N Nikki Haley warned that the Trump administration will act if the United Nations doesn’t, and urged the security council adopt a resolution condemning the attack and threatening consequences.

The Russians say the resolution gets ahead of actions by assuming the Syrian Government is to blame.

The Mounties are getting a raise, with some back pay.

The Treasury Board has approved a salary increase of 1.25% as of January 1, 2015; another 1.25% as of January 1 last year.  Many will also get another 2.3% market adjustment next month.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says the raises will bring the RCMP in line with 8 other police forces who cover 90% of the population.
