As Carney heads to India, Canada seeks to revoke citizenship of 2008 Mumbai attack ‘mastermind’
The Canadian government is pushing to revoke the citizenship of a Pakistan-born businessman accused of playing a key role in the 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India that left 166 dead.
Documents obtained by Global News show that immigration officials have notified Tahawwur Rana Hussain that they intend to strip him of the Canadian citizenship he acquired in 2001.
The 65-year-old immigrated to Canada in 1997, and was later convicted in the United States of plotting to attack staff at a Danish newspaper that printed cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Mohamed.
Minnesota Democrats’ Priorities: Owning AR-15 Gets You More Jail Time Than Attempted Rape
I’m not making this one up. Minnesota’s Democrats, called the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party because we are weird here, have proposed a law to make owning an AR-15, the most popular rifle in America, selling 3-4 million copies a year, a felony with a sentence of up to five years.
Attempting to rape somebody in the presence of a child is, in Minnesota statutes, a lessor crime than owning one if this law passes.

Canada’s artificial intelligence minister says he has summoned representatives from the technology company OpenAI after the company declined to alert police after suspending the account of a user who became the perpetrator of one of the country’s worst-ever school shootings.
Evan Solomon says he is “deeply disturbed” by reports that the company, which operates the popular ChatGPT chatbot, suspended the account of Jesse Van Rootselaar over the “furtherance of violent activities” in June 2025 but did not reach out to Canadian law enforcement.

Trump threatens ‘obnoxious’ tariffs as UK and EU seek clarity on trade deals
Donald Trump has declared that he can use tariffs in a “much more powerful and obnoxious way”, as the UK and the EU said they were seeking urgent clarity on the US trade deals they struck last summer.
Trump threatened to escalate his global tariff war on Monday, after a supreme court ruling last week that he had overstepped his legal authority to impose his “liberation day” measures last year.
Keir Starmer’s spokesperson said he did not expect Trump’s new 15% global tariff – announced on Saturday – to affect the majority of a UK-US economic deal that was agreed last year.

First Florida, then Cuba now Mexico. What are the March Break alternatives for Canadians?
“Don’t go to Mexico,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged travellers Monday after the killing of a powerful drug cartel boss by Mexico’s army Sunday led to burning cars and shootouts with security forces in cities across Mexico — and adding to the latest disruptions for Canadians seeking March Break beach getaways.
“It’s amazing how all of these things have sort of collided — the U.S. (tariff wars), the Cuban situation and then this,” said Richard Vanderlubbe, president of TripCentral.ca.

When Edmonton police arrested Arshdeep Singh for shoplifting at West Edmonton Mall last November, they launched an investigation that ultimately put the young Indian national at the heart of a network believed responsible for the extortion crisis plaguing Canadian communities.
Singh’s phone held a cache of images and messages linking him to an arson in Ontario, a shooting in Edmonton, extortion cases in Surrey and auto theft and insurance fraud in the Lower Mainland, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
There was even a photograph of Singh alongside the alleged “prime conspirator” behind a series of extortion-linked shootings at a Surrey café.
‘Burned and destroyed’: Locals and tourists describe Mexico unrest
Locals and tourists in Mexico have described the “heartbreaking” unrest after one of the most powerful and feared cartels in the country unleashed a wave of violence across several states.
It comes after Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho”, Mexico’s most wanted man and leader of the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) drug cartel, was killed during a security operation to arrest him on Sunday.
Footage recorded by locals and tourists showed burnt vehicles and plumes of smoke rising above several towns and cities, including the beach resort of Puerto Vallarta.
