Following a bitter U.S. election campaign, a triumphant Donald Trump returned to the White House for a meeting with President Joe Biden. It was part of the transfer of power between outgoing and incoming presidents. President-elect Trump has been naming key loyalists to senior roles within the administration. And Canada is watching closely. And: Nearly a decade after Canada started a national bank of umbilical cord blood, only a few dozen units out of several thousand have been used. Despite so few transfusions, advocates of the bank say the lifesaving possibilities in preserving cord blood makes it an important addition to the healthcare toolbox in Canada. Also: Swifties have descended on Toronto. Tens of thousands of fans are coming for Taylor Swift’s six-night concert run – and they’re bringing big business to Toronto. But it’s also a security challenge. The first of six shows is scheduled for Thursday night, and the city will find out if months of preparation have paid off. Plus: Tough conversations ahead between Canada and the U.S., settler violence in the occupied West Bank, congressional UFO hearing, and more.
