The deportation of a Bishnoi extortion gang member was put off on Thursday after federal officials could not find the suspect.
Just minutes into Abjeet Kingra’s deportation hearing, the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) said it had lost track of the Indian citizen.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which is attempting to deport Kingra, also said it no longer knew his whereabouts.
Four British nationals were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents in a remote stretch of Somerset County woods after illegally crossing from Canada into the United States on April 3, federal court documents filed this week reveal.
One of them captured the whole thing on a GoPro camera, narrating a celebration as the group set foot on American soil.

An Indigenous B.C. man who shot his sleeping wife in the head after a 17-hour drinking binge has been sentenced to under seven years for her death.
The sentence is far below the Crown prosecutor’s request for 16 years and is partially the result of the judge finding the defendant’s Indigenous heritage a significant mitigating factor.
The US Supreme Court is diving into the heated debate over ‘birthright’ citizenship, and it’s time Canada had the same conversation.
Birthright citizenship is pretty straightforward — if you’re born here, you’re a citizen, no questions asked. It’s what lawyers call jus soli, or “right of soil.”
WASHINGTON — Today two of the most powerful committees in Washington have jointly demanded that the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department take immediate enforcement action against Chinese Communist Party-linked organizations operating inside America’s tax-exempt sector — citing, among other evidence, the same New York diaspora networks that featured prominently in the high-profile foreign influence prosecution of former New York State government aide Linda Sun, and in investigative reporting by The Bureau and the New York Times into Chinese consulate influence over New York City elections.
Had you been engaged in the gender-identity debate back in 2018, you might recall a case out of Canada, where a man named Jonathan / Jessica Yaniv contacted a number of Vancouver-based beauticians to request a ‘Brazilian bikini wax’.
A former international student in Canada has pleaded guilty to a terrorism charge Wednesday, telling the court it was a “morally reprehensible idea” to support the Islamic State group by plotting to use automatic weapons to kill Jewish people at a Brooklyn centre.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 21, said he answered the group’s call for Muslims to kill Jewish people by plotting to attack the Jewish centre in October 2024.
Oh but he’s reformed!
You can’t screen because all Muslims believe in Jihad so ban them all.
About 170,000 Canadian children had a parent in jail over a six-year span, a new study shows.
The estimate comes from a first-of-its-kind study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One. It tracked data from five provinces between 2015 and 2021, and found that thousands of children experienced a parent going to jail — some more than once. Until now, available data didn’t capture how many children were affected by having a jailed parent or how it shapes their lives, a gap researchers say has made it difficult to design effective supports and services.
Of course the parents who aren’t in jail will have to pony up for this latest crusade to “fix” the unfixable.
More than 84,300 houses across Ontario — around the number you’d find in a mid-sized city like Markham — were owned as investments by businesses or for-profit government entities such as public-sector pension funds in 2023, according to data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program.
This data, released in recent months, offers a glimpse at where, and how acutely, businesses of all types have invested in Canadian single-family housing stock.
Let’s just do the right thing by Heritage Canada and rename it for what it is, the Canadian Ministry of Propaganda. Or if you want to follow the official style sheet, Propaganda Canada.
Top of mind today is a draft rewrite of Canada’s Citizenship Guide, Discover Canada. This is the book they give prospective immigrants, an explanation of how the Government of Canada sees itself, the country, and the people living in it. The present one was published in 2012 during the Stephen Harper ministry, when Heritage Canada was known as Canada Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism.
The conventional wisdom is that the Canadian economy should be a big winner from the surge in oil prices following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. Canada is the fourth-largest exporter of crude oil in the world: when prices rise, Canadian oil generates more revenue, corporate income, higher wages, and government royalties.
The OECD’s latest outlook points to a more complicated reality. Canada is no longer a petrostate; while the oil and gas sector is still large enough to cushion Canada from the worst macroeconomic consequences of the Iran war, the structure and geography of Canadian economic growth have added many more trade-offs to managing resource profits.
A First Nation in Alberta has said that a separatist push for the province to secede from Canada is “consummately irresponsible and dishonourable” and should be shut down, arguing in court that a proposed referendum would violate their treaty rights.
A minority of residents of the oil-rich province have long argued that the province’s woes are due to the structure of payments to the federal government and a perceived inability to get their vast fossil fuel reserves to market.
In recent months, separatists have seized on the sentiment and collected nearly 180,000 signatures to request a referendum. But the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, near Edmonton, has asked a court to halt the campaign.
OTTAWA – Almost a third of police investigations involving members of foreign diplomatic missions in Canada between 2020 and 2025 saw the subjects of the probes leave the country before their cases could be resolved through the legal process.
Documents obtained by The Canadian Press through an access to information request list 67 incidents involving members of foreign missions that required police involvement over that time period.
In 22 of those cases, the person facing the criminal allegations left Canada before charges could be laid or the court process was completed.
OTTAWA—Hours after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to end “a whole civilization” in Iran with a deadly bombing planned today, Prime Minister Mark Carney urged “all parties” in the Middle East crisis to respect international law on war and humanitarian protections.
Responding to media questions about Trump’s threat against Iran that warned “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Carney said he has privately called for restraint as the threat of more devastating strikes loomed large.
In December, the Liberals extended Canadian citizenship to everyone in the world over the age of three months who can prove that one of their ancestors was born here, no matter how far back.
This was the result of Bill C-3. It means that potentially millions of people with no natural democratic right to intervene in our politics will soon be able to vote in our elections. Millions who haven’t contributed a cent to our economy will become eligible for our social safety net. Among them will be organized criminals, terrorists spawned from parents who left Canada to engage in barbarism overseas, people who can’t speak English or French, scammers, drug dealers, and many more undesirables.
