Mounties announced terrorism charges Monday against a man accused of firing a gun and igniting a Molotov cocktail at Edmonton City Hall in January.
Bezhani Sarvar, who is 28, is charged with counselling commission of a terrorism offence and possession of property for terrorist purposes, said the RCMP Federal Policing Integrated National Security Enforcement Team.
The 2024 federal budget will be presented on Tuesday, April 16, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced Monday.
The 2024 federal budget will provide Canadians a full picture of the state of the country’s finances and an overall economic outlook, as well as further Liberal spending plans amid an ongoing affordability crisis.
According to the finance minister, the massive fiscal document will “unlock pathways to a good middle class life for the next generation.”

… Joseph Kay, creator of CTV’s hit procedural “Transplant” and showrunner of CBC’s 2015 drama “This Life,” worried about what the broadcaster’s cuts will mean for the future of original programming in Canada.
“You look at a show like ’Sort Of.’ Would a great show like that be bought by any other network in Canada? I’m not sure.’” he said of the series, starring Bilal Baig, who CBC touted as the first queer South Asian and Muslim actor to lead a Canadian prime time television series.

And that’s got wildlife officials across the U.S. worried these massive northern prairie porkers — with razor-sharp tusks and weighing up to 630 pounds — could soon pose a multi-billion dollar threat if they become unwanted ‘immigrunts’ by crossing the 49th parallel.
Canada’s biggest grocers are investing money and space in discount stores such as No Frills, Food Basics and FreshCo as shoppers look for ways to save on food amid the higher cost of living.
Converting grocery stores to discount is a relatively easy move, experts say, and one that is helping the grocers keep profits steady despite consumers seeking ways to rein in their spending.
“There’s all sorts of things that … people are doing, but one of them is looking for cheaper options. And so they are going to discount stores,” said Michael von Massow, a food economy professor at the University of Guelph.
Most Canadians are unaware of new policies that seriously endanger Canada’s prosperity and way of life.
These policies recommend that all private businesses, educational institutions, and government organizations (including the military) change their hiring, promotion, compensation, and student admission policies to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in their workforces and student bodies. The owners of businesses are expected to change their policies to include in their activities the effect they have on the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) conditions in Canada and the world.
Canada’s foreign affairs minister has announced another round of sanctions against the Russian government, which she says are in response to last month’s death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and Russia’s “continued gross and systematic violations of human rights.”
The loud protesters who chanted “there is only one solution, intifada revolution” — and even attempted to injure a federal cabinet minister — at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) Saturday night must feel like they’re in charge.
Just like that, there would be no gala dinner for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, inside the art gallery. Outside, cabinet minister Ahmed Hussen, who represents a Toronto riding, had something thrown at him twice by Pro-Hamas protesters as he unsuccessfully attempted to enter.
They eat their own, at roughly the 18 second mark one of the protesters lobs something at Hussen’s head.

It’s evident the TPS have been told “hands off” and will only pursue Hamas miscreants if a significant public outcry occurs.
I doubt tossing garbage at Hussen qualifies for investigation. Some crimes are best left unsolved.

A high-security lab. Ebola. A mysterious package. The Chinese military.
The release earlier this week of hundreds of documents related to the dismissal of two scientists — Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng — has pulled back the curtain on an explosive national security probe at the Winnipeg-based National Microbiology Lab, part of the Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health (CSCHAH).
The investigation — and the fight to make information about the investigation public — took years.
The brother of an American man who died after consuming a product linked to accused suicide salesman Kenneth Law says he hopes more countries will follow the lead of Canadian legislators in considering stricter laws meant to protect vulnerable internet users.
“It just can’t be that easy,” Gerald Cohn, 38, told CTV News Toronto in an interview from the U.S. “All he had to do was go to one website, and it was so easy to access.”
Justin Trudeau should pay very close attention to the legacy treatment afforded former prime minister Brian Mulroney, who died on Thursday at age 84.
There’s the roadmap to a happy future for the ailing Liberal leader in the outpouring of all-party respect and affection for Mulroney, a politician so despised in 1993 that the annihilated Progressive Conservative caucus could’ve fit inside a sportscar in the election just ten weeks after he left office.
The first obvious lesson for the current prime minister is knowing when to leave.
OTTAWA — After being kept in the dark for years, we now know why Xiangguo Qiu and her husband Keding Cheng were fired from Winnipeg’s National Microbiology Lab (NML), Canada’s highest security lab and the country’s only facility authorized to handle deadly viruses such as Ebola.
The former federal executive criticized for his failure to disclose records of security breaches at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg retired just weeks before cabinet tabled the long-awaited documents on Feb. 28.
Iain Stewart became the first manager to be censured by Parliament since 1891. He retired as National Research Council president after more than six years in the post.
