    Lost Canadian soldier allegedly killed in avalanche in Switzerland

    The Canadian military said a soldier is believed to have died after getting trapped in an avalanche while on vacation in Switzerland.

    A message from the military says that Captain. Sean Thomas disappeared on the slide on April 1st.

    Local officials said three people died in an area without marked ski trails on the Riffelberg, near the famous Matterhorn mountain.

    The military said that Thomas joined the Armed Forces in 2018 and was sent to Jordan last November as part of the Canadian Training Assistance Team.

    He was going to come back home next month.

    No other soldiers from the Canadian Armed Forces were near the slide when it happened.

  • Official jet of Justin Trudeau breaks down again

    Official jet of Justin Trudeau breaks down again

    The airplane of Canada’s leader, Justin Trudeau, stopped working while he was on a trip to Jamaica. This is the second time in four months that he has had trouble during his travels.

    The Canadian military had to send another plane with a repair team to fix the problem.

    Mr Trudeau went to the Caribbean island for a vacation with his family.

    In September, Mr. Trudeau had to stay in India for two extra days because of a problem with the plane.

    The Prime Minister had to fly on a military plane for safety and went to Jamaica on 26th December.

    CBC news reports that the issue was found on 2 January.

    The next day, another plane took a team to fix the first one, according to a spokesperson from Canada’s defense department.

    He came back on 4 January like he was supposed to.

    Both planes were new CC-144 Challenger aircrafts owned by the Canadian Armed Forces.

    Mr Trudeau has had a lot of problems while traveling in the past few years.

    In September, his plane had a problem and was delayed when he was leaving Delhi after a G20 meeting.

    In 2019, while running for re-election, a bus carrying reporters crashed into the wing of an airplane rented by Mr. Trudeau’s Liberal party.

    Later that year, he had to use a different plane to go to a Nato meeting in London because the first plane was broken in an accident.

    However, there was a problem with the extra airplane, so the prime minister had to use another one to go back home.
