A man convicted of murdering a young teenage Burnaby girl has repeatedly told a pre-sentencing hearing that he didn’t kill her, after refusing to listen to his interpreter during an impact statement by the girl’s father.
A portion of the recorded statement was being played to test equipment ahead of Friday’s sentencing hearing for Ibrahim Ali, who faces a life term for the 2017 killing.
Justin Trudeau’s half-brother says the prime minister is a loveable person but should come clean, “repent” and apologize when he leaves office for things he’s done wrong.

Canada’s spy chief says that political leaders could take steps to make sure parliamentarians accused of cooperating with foreign governments face consequences, even if they don’t face criminal prosecution.
David Vigneault, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), suggested to a parliamentary committee Thursday that party leaders could disallow any of their MPs suspected of collusion from running for the party again, or expel them from caucus over the allegations they cooperated with foreign states like China and India.
God forbid they face real consequences for their treason.
OTTAWA — A Jewish group and an independent MP are pushing for the government to classify commonly used antisemitic chants as hate speech, with a petition signed by 13,000 Canadians tabled in the House of Commons.
The petition, tabled Wednesday by Spadina-Fort York MP Kevin Vuong, comes in response to the increased and overt use of chants such as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” in anti-Israel protests across Canada.

Canada is searching for an international grocer to enter its domestic market, after years of anger from shoppers over high food prices, much of it directed at one of the big players. But would an Aldi or a Lidl solve the problem?
Late last year, Emily Johnson took to Reddit to share her frustration with how expensive food in Canada has become.
She fixated on one grocer in particular: Loblaw, the dominant food retailer in Canada, boasting nearly 2,500 stores.

Chrystia Freeland put out the bunting after her April 16th budget.
The fiscal plan had three targets or “guideposts”: keeping the deficit below $40 billion in 2023/24; lowering the debt-to-GDP ratio in the current fiscal year, compared to last fall’s financial statement; and keeping deficits below one per cent of GDP in 2026/27.
With the stroke of her pen, Freeland proclaimed victory.
“In this budget, every single one of these objectives is met,” she said.
NSICOP chair says it’s up to the RCMP to probe allegations of foreign interference
The chair of an intelligence review body that released an explosive report earlier this week alleging some Canadian parliamentarians “wittingly” helped foreign state actors says it’s now up to RCMP to decide whether it can pursue charges.
On Monday, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), a cross-party committee of MPs and senators with top security clearances, released a long-anticipated report that looked at foreign political interference in Canada.
The heavily redacted document alleges some parliamentarians have actively helped foreign governments like China and India meddle in Canadian politics.
Talk about whether the Senate would thwart the will of the elected House whenever a change of government is expected in Ottawa is almost a right of passage in Canadian politics. And even though Prime Minister Justin Trudeau packed the upper chamber with ostensibly independent senators, the debate remains the same this time around.

He’ll probably be a Liberal candidate next election.

Canada made a promise to block imports of products made by forced labour, to keep those goods from entering this continent as part of the new North American trade agreement.
Now a U.S. senator heavily involved in the issue offers a blunt answer when asked by CBC News whether Canada is keeping that promise.
“No, not yet,” Sen. Jeff Merkley, an Oregon Democrat who co-wrote his own country’s legislation on the topic, said, followed by a dead silence.
OTTAWA — As Israel continues to both recover from and deal with the aftermath of the October 7 terror attacks, a visiting member of the country’s legislature is calling Canada out for turning its back on its longtime ally.
Sitting down with the National Post during a visit to Ottawa this week, Knesset member Sharren Haskel expressed concerns over Canada’s lack of support for Israel after the October 7 massacre.
Votes matter, nothing else comes close for Trudeau.
An increasing number of Canadians can’t afford a house or find a decent-paying job. Some can’t find a date or are fed up with the bitter politics, while others are in search of adventure, are sick of the cold winters, or simply miss home. The solution they seek? Leave Canada.
The rising cost of living, record-high immigration, a stagnating economy, and political tensions are prompting rising numbers of Canadians—both native and naturalized—to leave the country.
