Top Indian diplomat lashes out at Canadian advocates for a Sikh homeland

OTTAWA — India’s envoy to Ottawa says Canadians who advocate for a separate Sikh homeland in India’s Punjab region are a “national security threat” and a “red line” in bilateral relations as diplomatic tensions between Canada and the government of Narendra Modi continue.

Speaking in Montreal on Monday, High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma said India does not recognize dual nationality, and that Indians who adopt Canadian citizenship are “foreigners” who have no right to weigh in on matters of Indian politics.

CSIS warns that Chinese-backed interference isn’t going anywhere in latest report

As the dust settles on the landmark findings of the foreign interference inquiry, Canada’s intelligence agency is warning that China likely will back more meddling campaigns and expand its online pressure tactics over the coming year.

In its latest annual report, released Tuesday, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says the People’s Republic of China (PRC) remains “an enduring threat” to Canadian technology, democracy and diaspora communities.

“The PRC’s negative perceptions of select Canadian domestic and foreign policy initiatives may also drive more foreign interference, disinformation efforts and cyber activity in 2024,” said the report.

Ottawa cancels public ceremony for Israeli flag-raising, citing fucking horrid immigration policy concerns

OTTAWA – City officials say they’ve cancelled plans to host a flag-raising ceremony at Ottawa City Hall marking the establishment of Israel because of security concerns.

The Israeli flag will be raised next Tuesday to mark Yom Ha’atzmaut, but a ceremony involving the mayor, diplomats and members of the Jewish community will not go ahead.

The city said it has intelligence that suggests the event would pose “a substantial risk to public safety.” It did not offer details about the nature of that concern.

A warning from the breakdown nations

At a time when two big economies, the US and India, are attracting a lot of hype for their enduring strength, it is worth looking at nations that not too long ago were billed as star performers but are now breaking down. All are among the world’s 50 largest economies and, so far this decade, have suffered both a sharp decline in real per capita income growth, and a fall in their share of global gross domestic product.

Led by Canada, Chile, Germany, South Africa and Thailand, these “breakdown nations” carry a lesson. Growth is hard, sustaining it even harder, so the stars of today are not necessarily the stars of tomorrow.

‘It’s a disgrace’: Critics slam Trudeau government’s record of preventing imports of goods suspected to be made by forced labour

OTTAWA — Border agents still have not prevented a single shipment from entering Canada on suspicion it was linked to forced labour, new data shows, almost four years after the country adopted new rules under the renegotiated North American trade pact.

That’s a stark contrast to enforcement in the United States, where authorities report they have denied thousands of shipments of goods within the past two years over concerns they were made or sourced using forced labour.

Tom Mulcair: Turfing Poilievre from House a clear sign of desperation by Trudeau Liberals

When all hell broke loose in the House last week, those of us who have experience as parliamentarians simply couldn’t believe our eyes. Speaker Greg Fergus(opens in a new tab) had tossed out the Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, Pierre Poilievre, on the flimsiest of pretenses.

Fergus is highly partisan. We all knew that when Trudeau backed him in the election to replace Anthony Rota(opens in a new tab), who’d been forced to step down after introducing a former Nazi soldier in Parliament.

Do protests like the University of Toronto encampment actually change policy or minds? Poll finds Canadians skeptical

As pro-Palestinian protesters continue their encampments at universities across Canada and the United States, a new poll sheds light on what Canadians think about the value of protests, generally, and of their ability to effect change.

While the vast majority of respondents say protests are effective at raising awareness, far fewer say they believe the demonstrations can actually change the positions of governments or institutions — and even fewer say they think protests can sway the opinions of people on the other side of an issue, according to a new poll from the Angus Reid Institute released Tuesday.

Gee I am much more sympathetic to Hamas since they explained their baby killing.

India Wouldn’t Let Trudeau’s Plane Land Until He Agreed To Meeting About Harboring Sikh Extremists In Canada

India forced meeting about Sikh activists by keeping Trudeau’s plane in air during 2018 trip

India refused to let Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plane land during a visit in 2018 unless he and his defence minister agreed to meet with a government official to air grievances about Sikh separatists in Canada, including Hardeep Singh Nijjar, according to a source with direct knowledge.

During the meeting, India’s minister for the Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh, handed Mr. Trudeau and then-defence minister Harjit Sajjan a dossier containing the names of about 10 Sikh activists whose activities the Indian government wanted curtailed, the source said.

‘How quickly do they want to sell?’ The Liberals’ Trans Mountain drama opens on a new scene

OTTAWA — When Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland delivered her budget speech last month, she gave a nod to the workers on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, a $34-billion, government-owned project more than a decade in the making that, after multiple cost overruns and delays, will this month finally begin carrying Alberta oil to the West Coast.

Freeland used the opportunity to take a shot at those who, she said, think government only stands in the way of development.

Three MPPs asked to leave Queen’s Park legislature after Speaker clarifies where the Hamas rag can be worn

Checks all boxes, Black, female, disabled, hates Jews

Speaker Ted Arnott says the kaffiyeh can be worn in the Ontario legislative building — but not in the chamber itself.

Shortly after his remarks during Monday’s question period — which he said were to clarify his previous ruling that banned the black-and-white scarves at Queen’s Park — three MPPs were told to leave the chamber for donning kaffiyehs, which they did.

New Democrats Kristyn Wong-Tam (Toronto Centre), Joel Harden (Ottawa Centre) and former NDP now Independent MPP Sarah Jama told reporters after that they disagree with the ban.
