India-Canada Row: Canada Accuses Indian Diplomats of 'Threatening Public Safety'

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidqKpIcQuCxf76" /></p>

<p>The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Commissioner, Mike Duheme, on Monday (Oct 14) made serious accusations against Indian government agents, claiming they have been involved in illegal activities within Canada.</p>

<p>“It is not our normal process to publicly disclose information about ongoing investigations, in an effort to preserve their integrity. However, we feel it is necessary to do so at this time due to the significant threat to public safety in our country,” stated an official release.</p>

<p>“Over the past few years, and more recently, law enforcement agencies in Canada, including the&nbsp;RCMP, have successfully investigated and charged a significant number of individuals for their direct involvement in homicides, extortions and other criminal acts of violence,” the statement continued.</p>

<p>In a gripping memoir, a Canadian widow exposed the dark details of her life and confessed about eating the ashes of her late husband after finding out about his infidelity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The husband of writer Jessica Waite, Sean, died in 2015 when he was on a work trip to Texas. After his death, the widow found that he had various affairs and also was involved with many high-priced escorts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the book, “A Widow’s Guide to Dead Bastards”, Waite recalled that she checked her porn-addicted husband’s iPad to find the number for the Houston hospital where his body was kept and found his unbelievable browsing history.</p>

<p>Waite stated that she began typing Houston in the browser and suggestions like “Houston escorts" started appearing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Then she also discovered searches for specific escorts along with their locations and prices.</p>

<p>She said that she opened the bag of her husband's ashes and brought it to her garden where she mixed it with her dog’s faeces.</p>

<p>“I’ve desecrated the remains of my partner in life. But then, in despair and guilt, took more of his ashes — and actually ate them.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau easily survived a vote of confidence on Wednesday after his main political rival failed to muster enough support to end nine years of Liberal Party rule. Legislators in the House of Commons voted 211-120 to defeat a motion by the official opposition Conservative party declaring a lack of confidence in Trudeau's minority Liberal government.

Canadian PM Trudeau Survives No-Confidence Motion, Threat To Regime Still Looms

<p>Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's minority Liberal government on Wednesday (September 25) survived a no-confidence vote initiated by the opposition Conservative Party. The vote ended with 211 lawmakers opposing the motion and 120 supporting it.</p>

<p>This vote came shortly after the New Democratic Party (NDP), unexpectedly pulled out of a 2022 deal that had been helping keep Trudeau's government stable. With the NDP no longer backing the Liberals, the government faced a higher risk of falling to a no-confidence motion.</p>

<p>"Today was a good day for the country because I don't think Canadians want an election," said Karina Gould, a senior Liberal who oversees government business in the House of Commons to news agency Reuters.

<p>Since taking office in 2015, Justin Trudeau's popularity has declined, largely due to the rising cost of living and an ongoing housing crisis.
