Deportation hearing for Indian extortion suspect halted when officials can’t find him

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.

As Iran ceasefire wobbles, Houthis hold next potential choke point on oil, commerce

ISTANBUL — The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran cracked on the first day. Israel on Wednesday launched its largest strike on Lebanon since the war began, killing more than 250 people. Iran called it a grave violation and threatened strong responses.

The Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed. Peace talks are scheduled in Islamabad on Friday.

The Yemen-based Houthis — Iranian proxies waging civil war against their own government while regularly lobbing missiles at Israel — were not party to any of it. They have not said a word.

Vance previews Iran negotiations as he departs for Islamabad: ‘Extend the open hand’

Vice President JD Vance departed for Islamabad, Pakistan, on Friday morning, forecasting “positive” negotiations as he leads the U.S. delegation for peace talks with Iran.

“We’re looking forward to the negotiation. I think it’s going to be positive,” Vance told reporters as he boarded Air Force Two.

President Donald Trump dispatched Vance to lead the U.S. envoys for this weekend’s negotiations, which aim to find an end to the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. The president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff will join Vance as part of the U.S. contingent.

After Oct. 7, hate-speech laws looked like the answer. Europe shows why they aren’t

After Oct. 7, hate-speech laws looked like the answer. Europe shows why they aren’t

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, recording the horrors and sharing them online. The attack triggered a bloody Israeli invasion of Gaza that killed tens of thousands of Palestinians. It also had immediate consequences far beyond the region.

In Canada, Jewish communities experienced what Deborah Lyons, the former Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, called an “unprecedented wave” of antisemitism involving “harassment, intimidation, threats of violence” and a near tripling of hate crimes. In Europe, pro-Palestinian demonstrations were marred by antisemitic chants. In Berlin, a synagogue was attacked with firebombs while Stars of David were scrawled on apartments housing Jews, reminiscent of Nazi intimidation.

Netanyahu says there is no ceasefire in Lebanon as Israel launches fresh strikes

Netanyahu says there is no ceasefire in Lebanon as Israel launches fresh strikes

Benjamin Netanyahu has said there is “no ceasefire in Lebanon” and Israel would continue “to strike Hezbollah with full force” as the country’s military launched fresh strikes.

The Israeli prime minister’s remarks and latest attacks on what the IDF called “Hezbollah launch sites” came shortly after Donald Trump said he had asked Netanyahu to be more “low-key” in Lebanon.

Despite the latest bombardment, Netanyahu said he had instructed his government to “open direct negotiations with Lebanon as soon as possible”. He said the talks should focus on the disarmament of Hezbollah and the establishment of “peace relations” with Lebanon.

Killer’s Indigenous heritage cited in lesser sentence for shooting of wife

Killer’s Indigenous heritage cited in lesser sentence for shooting of wife

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.

US has let in 4,499 refugees since October – all but three were South African

President Donald Trump’s overhaul of US refugee policies has created a major shift in the number and nationalities of people admitted to the country, US government data shows.

Since October 2025, 4,499 refugees were resettled in the US, according to the Refugee Processing Center. All, except three from Afghanistan, were South African.

In the last full fiscal year of the Biden administration, which started in October 2023, 125,000 people were accepted from 85 countries.

‘Throw them out’ of Parliament: Poilievre in favour of recall petition for floor-crossers

‘Throw them out’ of Parliament: Poilievre in favour of recall petition for floor-crossers

After losing another of his MPs to the Liberals, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he personally supports recall petitions — a way for constituents to remove a representative if they garner enough local support.

“When a member of Parliament goes back on the word they made to their constituents and switches parties, constituents should be able to petition to throw them out and have a byelection,” he said during a news conference on Thursday.

“That would put the people back in charge of our democracy rather than having dirty backroom deals.”

Mamdani’s New York: ‘All I Know Is I Want to Start Terror, Bro’

Nobody got too excited about it, but there was an Islamic State (ISIS) attempted bombing in New York City a few weeks ago, and new details are emerging about exactly what happened. Now dashcam footage capturing a conversation between the two would-be jihad murderers has just emerged, and it further sets the record straight about one of the most wildly misreported events of our propaganda-laden age.

Why 173 seats — and not needing the Speaker’s vote — matters to the Liberals

Why 173 seats — and not needing the Speaker’s vote — matters to the Liberals

OTTAWA — Ontario Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu’s floor crossing gives the Liberals a virtual lock on a majority, and one that would allow them to do far more than simply survive confidence votes — because not all majorities are created equal.

Two of the three April 13 contests — in the Toronto ridings of University–Rosedale and Scarborough Southwest — are widely considered safe Liberal seats, while the Montreal riding of Terrebonne is expected to be more competitive.
