Canada orders deportation of ‘bottom-tier’ member of Bishnoi gang
The crackdown on India-based organized crime continued on Friday as Canada’s immigration tribunal ordered the deportation of an accused member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Described as a “bottom-tier” associate of the Bishnoi gang in Edmonton, Jashandeep Singh is the latest Indian citizen to face deportation for his involvement in the violent crime group.
Trump administration subpoenas New York Times journalists over new Air Force One reporting
The Trump administration has issued subpoenas to several New York Times journalists after the newspaper reported on security concerns with the president’s new plane, according to the outlet.
The Times said its journalists were subpoenaed on Friday by the US justice department to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan five days later, marking the latest effort by the Trump White House to compel testimony from journalists under the threat of penalty. Agents delivered some of the subpoenas to the Times reporters at their homes, the paper added.
A US justice department statement responding to a request for comment about the subpoenas mentioned investigating “breaches of national security”.
Study says 40% of Canadian businesses looking to relocate to U.S.
The exodus to the U.S. continues for some Canadian-based businesses.
A new study by KPMG found that 40% or manufacturers in Canada have moved production south of the border or are considering the idea as they adapt to trade uncertainty and competitive pressure.
“Manufacturers have shown incredible resilience, adapting to tariffs and uncertainty to navigate this period of heightened volatility,” said Anamika Gadia, Partner and National Leader of Industrial Markets at KPMG Canada.
Carney’s call to arms has yielded less than 1% of the 50 Million needed for the restoration of 24 Sussex Drive.
Cuba Falling: Code Pink and Other Commies Plan to Riot in the U.S. to Support the Regime
I was just reading an essay on social media in which a Cuban woman calls the island nation a “concentration camp,” and she has a point. The humanitarian situation there is worse than it has ever been. Earlier this week, the country experienced yet another nationwide blackout. Food and potable water are becoming more and more scarce, as is medical care. Hundreds of political prisoners remain in detention centers. Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are ready to fix these results of systematic oppression — that has lasted nearly seven decades — but the regime refuses to allow it. Instead, it does a lot of blaming and chest thumping, and promises major reforms in name only.
The pain at the grocery store is real. Can Ottawa’s $3-billion food strategy actually help Canadians deal with food inflation
Lea Reambeault can walk to three discount supermarkets in minutes from her Toronto apartment above a Food Basics store. Still, grocery shopping is a chore she often leaves to her partner out of anxiety.
The 36-year-old mother of three has been out of work since the birth of her youngest daughter a year ago. Her family of five — squeezed into a two-bedroom unit — relies on her partner’s roughly $80,000 annual income and spends about $600 a week on groceries and household essentials. Sometimes the couple has to put off rent to keep food on the table.

Trump warns US military will ‘destroy all areas of Iran’ in the event he’s assassinated by regime: ‘1,000 Missiles Locked and Loaded’
President Trump on Friday night doubled down on his threat to “decimate and destroy” Iran should the regime succeed in assassinating him.
“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
SNOBELEN: Canada’s trucking industry rolling into a dangerous era
There is a pattern to building a respectable business.
Small family businesses mark milestones along a growth trajectory that builds over time into a mature, stable and sometimes profitable business.
Our little trucking business was like that. The first new truck. A bigger rented yard and shop. The first big company party. And finally, our first, heavily mortgaged and built-to-spec. truck yard.
Stupid Crooks like This Make Life Easier for Everyone
There’s a surprising amount of policework that is really just not being dumb. My late father, for example, got an “attaboy” from the chief because of his diligent work solving a theft. What happened was that he simply followed the stolen lawnmower’s tracks in the dirt alley that led right to the thief.
A lot of it is much, much more complicated than that, admittedly, but sometimes, it’s just not.
Gordie Howe International Bridge to open July 27, Ottawa confirms
The Gordie Howe International Bridge connecting Ontario to Michigan will open July 27, the federal government has confirmed.
Canada and Michigan agreed on Friday to open the bridge with the support of the United States government, according to a news release issued just after 7 p.m. ET by the Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities.
“To support this opening and ensure that benefits are felt on both sides of the border, Canada and the United States have agreed to a series of co-operative measures focused on toll governance and transparency,” the release said.
‘Teen takeovers’ confound cities struggling to define the problem — and find solutions
RALEIGH, N.C. — The scene unfolding outside his patrol car at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday startled even the veteran police chief.
“It was chaotic,” Chief Rico Boyce recounted to city leaders at a public meeting days later. “Something I had never seen in my 26 years here at the Raleigh Police Department.”
Authorities had planned for large crowds in North Carolina’s capital over the holiday weekend, Boyce said, but this went beyond that. He described hordes of rowdy young people — police estimated as many as 8,000, many juveniles, many from outside the city — that gathered first in one commercial area, then converged later on another known as Glenwood South.

Mark Carney won’t let Donald Trump see him sweat, but it comes at a cost
Watch Mark Carney, not long ago thought to be a political novice, work a press scrum. We’re now used to the half-beat pause before the prime minister answers, the banker’s habit of restating the question in duller language, draining it of drama, and the refusal, almost physical, to take the bait.
That composure can come across as a personality quirk but it’s more likely a construction. This week, a remarkable two-part Wall Street Journal (WSJ) investigation shows us what it was built to withstand.
Europe considering proposals to allow navigational fees in strait of Hormuz
Europe is studying proposals that may allow the charging of navigational fees in the strait of Hormuz so long as the tolls are not compulsory and have the support of the UN agency that regulates maritime transport.
Britain’s deputy prime minister, David Lammy, said the imposition of compulsory tolls would be disastrous. But some of his cabinet colleagues said they recognised that systems of payments for specific navigational services were permissible in many natural waterways, including the strait of Malacca and the Channel.
Canada’s next defence fight won’t be over spending. It’ll be over trust
If there’s one catchphrase to sum up the dilemma facing Canada and other allies post-NATO summit, it might very well be: Show me the money.
It may be cliché. It may be somewhat worn out — after all, it’s a pop reference to the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire. But it probably best captures a stirring public sentiment.
Britain found out the hard way recently that being able to account for an avalanche of money going to defence and security is a live, visceral political and policy issue that is capable of causing damage and casualties.
Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei vows revenge for father’s killing
Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed to exact revenge on the United States and Israel for the killing of his father and predecessor as Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
Khamenei was killed in an airstrike on February 28, at the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran.
“Revenge is the demand of the nation and must certainly be carried out,” according to a written statement attributed to Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, which was broadcast on state television.
