Intercepted communications, provided by British intelligence and corroborated by Canadian authorities, implicate high-level Indian officials, including Prime Minister Modi’s right-hand man, in the 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a B.C.

The intercepted conversations, considered strong evidence due to their origin within the Five Eyes intelligence partnership, have emerged at a time when the Canadian government is seeking to strengthen ties with India. Despite these efforts, the World Sikh Organization of Canada has expressed concerns, arguing that the government’s approach betrays Sikh Canadians and Canada’s sovereignty. The RCMP has also stated that a much broader series of crimes had also been “orchestrated by agents of the government of India.”

President Trump announced that the United States and Canada would not be restarting trade talks following an apology from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The apology was made in response to an Ontario political advertisement featuring former President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs. Trump considered the advertisement to be inaccurate, and had previously paused negotiations and increased tariffs on Canada due to the ad.

Canada wants to seize a Russian transport plane and hand it over to Ukraine, and frankly, the whole situation is just… well, it’s been a long time coming.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is prepared to fight an election over his government’s upcoming budget, scheduled to be presented to Parliament. While the budget, which includes “generational investments” and plans to balance the operating account within three years, is deemed essential by Carney, it lacks guaranteed support from opposition parties, particularly the Conservatives and NDP, who have differing demands and concerns.
