Gander Marks 25 Years Since 9/11

Newfoundland and Labrador is once again welcoming back the Americans who were stranded in Gander when the September 11, 2001 attacks grounded flights across North America. A quarter century later, many of those same travellers are returning for anniversary events in the small town that famously took in thousands of stranded passengers.

Distancing From Washington

According to CBC, several of the Americans gathering in Gander this week are using the moment to distance themselves from their country's current political leadership, amid ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States.
