… According to Canada’s anti-money-laundering watchdog, FinTRAC, organized-crime groups based in India have been recruiting people living in Canada – often vulnerable young men from India on study permits – to launder the proceeds of extortion targeting Canada’s South Asian diaspora. The BCSC only has jurisdiction when the dirty money is linked to an investment fraud, according to Mr. Wu.
The United States has refused to back the United Nations’ latest migration declaration, with the State Department accusing UN agencies of working to “advocate and facilitate replacement immigration in the United States and across the broader West”.
In a statement published on May 11, the department said Washington did not take part in the second International Migration Review Forum (IMRF), held at UN headquarters in New York from May 5 to 8, and would not endorse its concluding “progress” declaration.
Wait times for people seeking care at emergency departments across Ontario have dramatically increased over the past five years amid a “deepening Ontario hospital funding crisis,” according to a new report.
The study, published Monday by the left-leaning think tank Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, found that 90 per cent of patients waited 4.5 hours for an initial assessment by a physician at a hospital emergency room in Ontario in 2024/2025, up from 2.7 hours in 2020-21. This, the report states, represents an alarming 67 per cent increase over a five-year period.
“Emergency department wait times are a canary in the coal mine for health system performance,” Andrew Longhurst, the author of the study, said at a news conference on Monday morning.
Labour has banned seven “far-Right agitators” from attending Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom rally this weekend.
Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, has barred the seven entry to the UK based on the view that their presence is “not conducive to the public good”.
With all having been outspoken on immigration, race or sexual issues, the Home Office has cancelled or refused their electronic travel authorisations entitling them to come to Britain.
I wonder if Starmer will still be PM by the weekend?
The Ontario Liberal Party is standing by the results of its nomination contest in Scarborough Southwest as losing candidate Nate Erskine-Smith met with his team to discuss next steps after raising concerns about the race.
On Saturday, Liberal members in the east Toronto riding chose businessman Ahsanul Hafiz as their next provincial candidate in a yet-to-be-announced by-election, beating Mr. Erskine-Smith in a close contest. The nomination was seen as a critical step in Mr. Erskine-Smith’s plan to run for leader of the Ontario Liberal party. He is currently a federal MP for the neighbouring riding of Beaches-East York.

A major political dispute has opened in Austria after it was revealed that the country has quietly overseen transports of close to €20 billion to Kyiv over the past four years.
The sum was unveiled in response to a parliamentary question from Austria’s right-wing populist FPÖ, following Hungary’s interception in March of an armoured cash convoy carrying tens of millions of dollars and gold from Austria to Ukraine. Hungary has since returned the seized assets in a less-than-transparent move, following the electoral defeat of the ruling Fidesz party.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Many Canadians and Americans have at least one thing in common: They’d like to see someone other than Donald Trump in the White House.
In the United States, this bias largely falls along partisan lines, but in Canada, resentment over the president’s “51st state” rhetoric and punishing trade tariffs is held by a majority of people. Polls show that majorities of Conservative, Liberal, and NDP supporters disapprove of Trump’s leadership and are critical of how he has treated Canada.

A young woman in New York City said she declined pressing charges against a violent suspect because she didn’t want to put ‘another black man in jail,’ weeks before he allegedly killed a 76-year-old retired teacher.
The 23-year-old woman anonymously detailed how she and a friend narrowly escaped Rhamell Burke, 32, after he allegedly attacked them while riding the subway on April 2.
The straphanger told the New York Post she now completely regrets her decision not to work with prosecutors after Burke was charged with murder on Friday for allegedly shoving 76-year-old Ross Falzone down a flight of stairs to his death at a subway station Thursday night.

BC Parks plans to close Joffre Lakes Park to the public for a week this summer and for 23 days this fall to allow local First Nations the opportunity to “connect with the land.”
Similar closures have been carried out over the past few years, cutting off public access to the hiking trails and lake areas at the southwestern B.C. park 35 kilometres east of Pemberton.

CALGARY — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government has committed $180 million in taxpayer money to a World Bank climate initiative aimed at accelerating the global transition away from fossil fuels to clean energy and addressing “gender equality gaps” in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
According to the federal government’s grants and contributions website, the funding was provided to the World Bank through the “World Bank Clean Energy and SIDS Resilience Facility (CESR).”
