'Country today faces grave challenge'
"Our country today faces a grave challenge. The incoming administration in the United States is pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 per cent tariffs," the Deputy PM said. 
She stressed, "We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war."
Freeland added, "That means pushing back against 'America First' economic nationalism" with a determined effort to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they bring.

She further mentioned that PM Trudeau told her on Friday that he does not want her to serve as finance minister and offered her another position in the Cabinet.
"Upon reflection, I have concluded that the only honest and viable path is for me to resign from the Cabinet," she said.
Freeland was first elected to parliament in 2013, however, she joined Trudeau's cabinet two years later when the Liberals swept to power. 
The Canadian deputy PM announced her resignation just hours before she was due to deliver a fiscal and economic update in parliament, Bloomberg reported. 
It still remains unclear whether that document will be released or not.

Canada: Indian Government Urges Probe Into Student Murders, As Immigration Tightens Rules

There has been a spirited exchange between President-elect Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, hinting at potential tensions in the US-Canada relationship. Trump, in his characteristic style, referred to Trudeau as the "governor of the great state of Canada" in a social media post earlier yesterday. This comment follows a recent dinner between the two leaders at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where Trump reportedly joked about Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States.

Trump's Tariffs: A Trade Gamble With Mexico & Canada | GRAVITAS

Canada’s largest province is threatening to block energy exports to US in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff warning. In a recent social media post, the GOP leader declared he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming into the US from Canada. Trump says these tariffs are retaliation to Canada’s failure in securing their parts of the border from fentanyl traffickers and illegal migrants. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has said we will cut off “their energy” to protect Canadian interests.

“We will go to the extent of cutting off their energy — going down to Michigan, going down to New York State and over to Wisconsin. I don’t want this to happen, but my number one job is to protect Ontarians and Canadians as a whole,” Ford said during a meeting of premiers called by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Parliament Hill Wednesday (Dec 11).

The Ontario premier added that Canada needed “to be ready, ready to fight”. “This fight is coming 100 percent on Jan 20 or Jan 21.”

While Trump has been accusing Canada of not doing enough to rein in illegal migration, Ottawa maintains the risk regarding drug and human trafficking is much lower on the northern border.

<h2>Can Canada afford to impose sanctions on US?</h2>

Threats and warnings aside, if Ottawa blocks energy exports to the US, both neighbours stand to lose a lot. It is to be noted that US consumes over 97 per cent of Canada’s crude oil exports.

Moreover, US sources its 60 per cent of all oil imports from Canada only. Any hindrance in this trade can significantly weigh down both economies.

Three climbers from the United States and Canada who went missing on New Zealand's highest mountain last week are believed to have died, police said on Friday.

US&nbsp;nationals Kurt Blair, 56, and Carlos Romero, 50, and a Canadian man whom police have not named, flew by helicopter on Saturday to a camp on Mount Cook, or Aoraki, with plans to summit the 3,724 metre (12,218 ft) mountain.

The three men did not turn up for their return flight on Monday morning, triggering a search-and-rescue effort. Items belonging to the men were found on Tuesday before the search was called off due to bad weather. It only resumed on Friday.

"Reviewing the number of days the climbers have been missing, no communication, the items we have received, and our reconnaissance today, we do not believe the men have survived," Vicki Walker, a senior New Zealand police officer investigating the men's disappearance, told a news conference on Friday.

Police have informed the men's families, she added.

Over the past century, dozens of climbers have died on Mount Cook, where rockfalls are common and avalanches often occur at higher altitudes. Local media reported in 2014 that 78 people had died on the mountain since 1907. 
 
Scores more have died in the surrounding national park, which is known for its mountains and glaciers.

The intelligence partners of the "Five Eyes" have warned about the radicalisation of young people online, the news agency Reuters reported on Thursday (Dec 5) citing a research paper from the alliance. The Five Eyes, which includes the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, said in the paper that mental health, education, and social services needed to intervene in many cases before the behaviour of minors became a police issue.

'Five Eyes' Intelligence Partners Warn Over Terrorist Radicalisation Of Youth

An Indian student lost his life in Canada in a stabbing that took place in the early hours of Sunday (Dec. 1).

Police received a call regarding a stabbing incident, after which they reached a residence located in Ontario province and found “a deceased adult male and took a second individual into custody”, said local law enforcement.

After the post-mortem and police investigation, the victim was identified as 22-year-old Gurasis Singh, who was studying business at Lambton College.

“Students are at the heart of Lambton College, and the loss of a student is a tragedy of the highest magnitude. We extend our deepest condolences to Gurasis’s family, loved ones, and friends,” the Sarnia-based college said in a statement released on Tuesday confirming the death of Singh.

Indian student fatally stabbed in Canada, suspect arrested

The government of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau splashed billions in loan to ineligible recipients during the COVID-19 pandemic, an audit report revealed Monday (Dec 2). Auditor General Karen Hogan tabled the report in the House of Commons, which highlighted several irregularities in granting the contract involving public money and ensuring efficiency.

It is to be noted that Ottawa launched its Canadian Emergency Business Account (CEBA) programme in the face of the raging pandemic to help businesses deal with the&nbsp;resultant&nbsp;economic crisis. The programme saw the distribution of more than $49 billion in loan to over 900,000 small businesses. Now, Hogan’s report has found that over $3.5 billion of this fund went to ineligible and wrong beneficiaries.

According to the audit report, Canada’s Department of Finance also failed to provide “effective oversight” of more than $853 million in administrative spending.

“CEBA represented a significant expenditure of public funds to support small Canadian businesses facing economic challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Hogan’s report highlighted.

“While there was some flexibility in how government organisations approached programme planning, reporting, and contract processes during the pandemic to achieve results quickly, there was still an expectation of due diligence and controls around how public money was spent,” the report added.

It said the Trudeau government failed to manage the programme and over-relied on a single private contractor —Accenture, a global IT giant— to manage the fund.

The government of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau splashed billions in loan to ineligible recipients during the COVID-19 pandemic, an audit report revealed Monday (Dec 2).

The government of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau splashed billions in loan to ineligible recipients during the COVID-19 pandemic, an audit report revealed Monday (Dec 2). Auditor General Karen Hogan tabled the report in the House of Commons, which highlighted several irregularities in granting the contract involving public money and ensuring efficiency. It is to be noted that Ottawa launched its Canadian Emergency Business Account (CEBA) programme in the face of the raging pandemic to help businesses deal with the resultant economic crisis. The programme saw the distribution of more than $49 billion in loan to over 900,000 small businesses. Now, Hogan’s report has found that over $3.5 billion of this fund went to ineligible and wrong beneficiaries. According to the audit report, Canada’s Department of Finance also failed to provide “effective oversight” of more than $853 million in administrative spending. Also read: Canada`s Trudeau holds emergency meeting as Trump threatens to hit Canadian goods with 25% tariff “CEBA represented a significant expenditure of public funds to support small Canadian businesses facing economic challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Hogan’s report highlighted. “While there was some flexibility in how government organisations approached programme planning, reporting, and contract processes during the pandemic to achieve results quickly, there was still an expectation of due diligence and controls around how public money was spent,” the report added. It said the Trudeau government failed to manage the programme and over-relied on a single private contractor —Accenture, a global IT giant— to manage the fund.

Justin Trudeau had an "excellent conversation" with Donald Trump at the president-elect's Florida estate, Canada's prime minister said Saturday, as the United States' neighbours scramble to blunt the impact of Trump's trade threats.

Trudeau flew for a dinner at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, after Trump earlier this week announced plans for import tariffs against Canada and Mexico and rival China.&nbsp;

"It was an excellent conversation," Trudeau told reporters Saturday morning as he was leaving a hotel in West Palm Beach to catch a flight back to Canada.

Trudeau was the latest high-profile guest of Trump, whose impending second term -- which starts in January -- is already overshadowing the last few months of President Joe Biden's administration.

A photograph released by Pennsylvania Senator-elect David McCormick showed Trump and Trudeau side-by-side at the table, surrounded by a dozen guests including Howard Lutnick, Donald Trump's pick for commerce secretary, and Mike Waltz, his choice for national security advisor.

In a social media post on Monday, Trump said he would slap a 25 per cent tariff on Mexico and Canada, accusing the two US neighbours of allowing an "invasion" of the United States by illicit drugs, namely fentanyl, and undocumented migrants.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke with Trump by phone on Wednesday, though the two leaders' accounts of the conversation differed drastically.

Trump claimed that Mexico's left-wing president had "agreed to stop migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border."

Sheinbaum later said she had discussed US-supported anti-migration policies that have long been in place in Mexico.

She said that after that, the talks had no longer revolved around the threat of tariff hikes, downplaying the risk of a trade war.

Biden warned that same day that Trump's tariff threats could "screw up" Washington's relationships with Ottawa and Mexico City.

"I think it's a counterproductive thing to do," Biden told reporters.

For Canada, the stakes of any new tariffs are high.

More than three-quarters of Canadian exports, or Can$592.7 billion ($423 billion), went to the United States last year, and nearly two million Canadian jobs are dependent on trade.

A Canadian government source told AFP that Canada is considering possible retaliatory tariffs against the United States.

Some analysts have suggested Trump's tariff threat may be bluster or an opening salvo in future trade negotiations. But Trudeau rejected those views when he spoke with reporters earlier in Prince Edward Island province.

"Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out," Trudeau said. "There's no question about it.

Trudeau calls Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump an 'excellent conversation' amid trade tensions

A Canadian court issued an interlocutory injunction which prohibits Khalistan protesters from gathering within 100 metres of the premises of the Lakshmi Narayan Temple in Toronto.

The Lakshmi Narayan Mandir Hindu Cultural Society in Scarborough released a statement saying that the order by the Canadian court was aimed at ensuring the safety and sanctity of the temple.

“The Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, has issued an interlocutory injunction prohibiting all protest activities, including physically preventing, or interfering with access to within a 100-metre&nbsp;radius of the Lakshmi Narayan Temple in Scarborough from 8 am to 6 pm on Saturday, November 30th, 2024. This order aims to ensure the safety and sanctity of the temple premises and individuals during the specified hours,” the society said.

“The Hindu Cultural Society Shree Lakshmi Narayan Mandir Scarborough extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Toronto Police Service and 42 Division for their outstanding support in facilitating the Indian Consular Camp held at our temple. Your commitment to ensuring the safety and security of our community during this important event was exemplary and greatly appreciated. By providing a secure and welcoming environment, you enabled countless community members to access vital consular services with peace of mind. We are truly thankful for your dedication and partnership, which contribute to fostering harmony and trust within our diverse community. Thank you for your service!” the statement further added.

This comes after Khalistani elements launched a violent attack on Hindu devotees at the Hindu Sabha temple early in November. The radicals wanted to disrupt the event, co-organised by the Indian Consulate.

They clashed with people outside the temple and threatened the security of Indian officials.

The brazen attack even prompted a reaction from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who took to X to condemn this “deliberate attack.”

"I strongly condemn the deliberate attack on a Hindu temple in Canada. Equally appalling are the cowardly attempts to intimidate our diplomats. Such acts of violence will never weaken India's resolve," PM Modi posted on X.

"We expect the Canadian government to ensure justice and uphold the rule of law," the Indian leader added.

Canadian court restricts pro-Khalistan elements from gathering within 100m of temple in Toronto

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Florida to meet Donald Trump and talk about the 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods the latter has threatened to impose. Trudeau is hoping to fend off the problem during the talks. Watch in for more details!

USA News: Canada PM In Florida To Meet Trump: Reports

Canada's Competition Bureau has filed a lawsuit against Alphabet's Google, alleging that the tech giant engaged in anti-competitive behaviour in the online advertising sector.

The application filed by the Bureau before the Competition Tribunal is seeking a court order compelling Google to divest two of its key ad technology tools. The watchdog is also seeking a penalty to ensure Google complies with Canada's competition laws.

Google responded to this claim, saying that the suit "overlooks the incredibly competitive nature of the ad-buying market, with a large number of willing buyers and sellers."

According to Google, "our ad tech tools help websites and apps pay for their content, and help businesses of all sizes connect with new customers." Google VP of Global Ads Dan Taylor said in response to the complaint that he and the company look forward to the opportunity to explain its position in court.

The Competition Bureau initiated investigations into Google in 2020. The agency of competition probed whether or not the company had ever indulged in anti-competitive practices in the advertisement business line online.

The research expanded early this year as it went beyond Google's merely search business to its advertisement technology services. The agency stated that Google has controlled the majority share of the nation's ad tech market with the aid of its allegedly anticompetitive methods, said the Bureau.

This lawsuit comes in tandem with similar antitrust initiatives launched by the US Department of Justice that alleged Google is monopolising the market for publisher ad servers and advertiser ad networks.

Google defended its activities and said the US case was selective as it focused only on one portion of the online advertisement business while ignoring competition in other sectors.

It said the decisions made for its business are legitimate, and that there is competition in the marketplace.

Reuters earlier this year reported Google trying to end an antitrust investigation in the European Union by offering to sell an ad exchange platform. It said European publishers rejected this offer as insufficient to remedy the issues raised by a competition probe.

The president-elect declared that he would enact universal tariffs on the first day and that they would remain in effect until China, Canada, and Mexico stopped the influx of migrants and narcotics.

US Mexico: Trade War Looms Between Mexico & US

US President-elect Donald Trump on Monday (Nov 25) said that he will impose a massive 25 per cent tariff on all products which will be imported from Mexico and Canada over the neighbouring countries' failure to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs trade. He also vowed to slap another 10 per cent tariff on China over drug trafficking.

“As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before,” wrote Trump on his social media platform Truth Social.&nbsp;

It is important to levy the duty to crack down on drug smuggling and illegal immigration in the northern and southern parts of America, he said while announcing the many first decisions that he would take as the US commander-in-chief.

“Right now a caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border," he added.

The president-elect spoke about his first of “many” executive orders which he will take on January 20.&nbsp;

The imposition of tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico could be a deathknell to Nafta, the a regional free trade agreement of America with its neighbours.

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” said Trump.

He added that the tariff will “remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular, Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”

“Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!”&nbsp;

<h2>Trump announces additional 10 per cent on goods from China</h2>

Trump also said he would&nbsp;impose an additional 10 per cent tariff on China because the country has not been able to curb the export of illicit fentanyl.

“I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States – But to no avail,” Trump wrote in another&nbsp; post.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Representatives of China told me that they would institute their maximum penalty, that of death, for any drug dealers caught doing this but, unfortunately, they never followed through, and drugs are pouring into our Country, mostly through Mexico, at levels never seen before,” he added.

“Until such time as they stop, we will be charging China an additional 10% Tariff, above any additional Tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States of America,” he announced.&nbsp;

“Thank you for your attention to this matter,” concluded the president-elect.&nbsp;

While campaigning for the presidential elections, Trump had said he would impose blanket tariffs of 10 per cent to 20 per cent on virtually all imports.

He had also proposed to impose tariffs higher than 200 per cent on Mexican-made automobiles, stating that a lot of manufacturing plants located in the south of the border are either owned or supported by China.&nbsp;

He had also threatened to impose 60 per cent tariffs on Chinese goods.

Trump will take over as the next president of the United States on January 20 after clinching a thumping victory in the presidential elections of November 5.
