The US ambassador to Canada told Canadian news network CTV that information shared by members of the ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence-sharing alliance was part of what Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used to make public allegations of the Indian government's possible involvement in the assassination of a Sikh Canadian, the U.S. ambassador to Canada said. The relationship between Canada and India reached its lowest point in recent history last week when Trudeau said there were “credible allegations” of Indian involvement in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a 45-year-old Sikh separatist, in June in a Vancouver suburb. Both countries have expelled some top diplomats. India, which has called the allegations “absurd,” also has stopped issuing visas to Canadian citizens and told Canada to reduce its diplomatic staff. The “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing alliance is made up of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

How are we supposed to live with the knowledge that we, and everyone we love, are here for only a limited time? Most of us try to avoid thinking about it, but in this episode I recommend a different approach, one that can truly help you fall in love with the life you actually have, no matter what that looks like for you on any given day. Engaging with the light and the dark, the full spectrum of living, is one of the surest paths to deeper, more fulfilling, more satisfying life and relationships. 

In this episode we talk about: 

• My husband’s dance with cancer and our dance with his mortality 
• We can’t fully feel joy unless we also let ourselves feel other emotions 
• Everyone has pain in life, the key is to integrate it 
• Living with an awareness of mortality is the best path to a life you truly love

A newly discovered letter seems to suggest that World War II era Pope Pius XII had detailed information about Nazi atrocities during the war. The correspondence seems to show detailed information from a trusted German Jesuit that at least 6000 Jews and Poles were being gassed each day in German-occupied Poland. The documentation undercuts the Holy See’s argument that it couldn’t verify diplomatic reports of Nazi atrocities to denounce them. The document from the Vatican archives was released this weekend by Italian daily Corriere della Sera. Corriere is reproducing a letter dated Dec. 14, 1942 from the German Jesuit priest to Pius’ secretary which is contained in an upcoming book about the newly opened files of Pius’ pontificate by Giovanni Coco, a researcher and archivist in the Vatican’s Apostolic Archives.
