Trudeau to bring up US' threat to annex Canada in meeting with King Charles

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with King Charles III, the country's head of state, on Monday where he will discuss US President Donald Trump's threats to make Canada the 51st state. The king has come under criticism in Canada for being silent about Trump's threats to annex Canada. Trudeau said in London on Sunday he will discuss matters of importance to Canadians with Charles and said "nothing seems more important to Canadians right now than standing up for our sovereignty and our independence as a nation. Charles is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies. Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is small, but the silence of the monarch on Trump's threats have spurred talk in recent days. Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said for Canadians disappointed that King Charles has not commented on Trump's threats he can only act on the advice of Canada's prime minister. The Government of Canada should ask the H

Trump vows tariffs on Mexico, Canada from Mar 4, China faces extra 10%

President Donald Trump says he plans to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting Tuesday, in addition to doubling the 10 per cent universal tariff charged on imports from China. Posting on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump said that illicit drugs such as fentanyl are being smuggled into the United States at unacceptable levels" and that import taxes would force other countries to crackdown on the trafficking. We cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA, and therefore, until it stops, or is seriously limited, the proposed TARIFFS scheduled to go into effect on MARCH FOURTH will, indeed, go into effect, as scheduled, the Republican president wrote. China will likewise be charged an additional 10 per cent Tariff on that date. The prospect of escalating tariffs has already thrown the global economy into turmoil with consumers expressing fears about inflation worsening and the auto sector possibly suffering if America's two largest trading partners in Canada and Mexico ar

Canada, Mexico tariffs 'going forward' with more to come: Donald Trump

President Donald Trump said Monday that his tariffs on Canada and Mexico are starting next month, ending a monthlong suspension on the planned import taxes that could potentially hurt economic growth and worsen inflation. We're on time with the tariffs, and it seems like that's moving along very rapidly, the U.S. president said at a White House news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron. While Trump was answering a specific question about the taxes to be charged on America's two largest trading partners, the U.S. president also stressed more broadly that his intended reciprocal tariffs were on schedule to begin as soon as April. The tariffs are going forward on time, on schedule, Trump said. Trump has claimed that other countries charge unfair import taxes that have come at the expense of domestic manufacturing and jobs. His near constant threats of tariffs have already raised concerns among businesses and consumers about an economic slowdown and accelerating inflation.

ED conducts searches in Mohali in connection with Canada's gold heist case

The Enforcement Directorate on Friday searched the Mohali premises of a man who is an alleged suspect in Canada's biggest-ever gold heist of more than USD 20 million, official sources said. The sources identified the man as Simran Preet Panesar, who is in his thirties. The man could not be contacted for his response on the allegations. The federal probe agency has recently filed a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to investigate the said loot from Canada's Pearson International Airport in April, 2023. The premises of Panesar in Punjab's Mohali is being searched and the ED investigators will question him, the sources said. The ED had booked a case suo moto, without a request from Canada, as the PMLA allows for such an investigation into in an instance of cross-border ramification where an Indian national is suspected to be involved. The agency wants to probe if the "proceeds of crime" of this alleged heist travelled to India and if there were any ..

After US, Canada designates 7 Latin American groups as terrorist entities

Canada is designating seven Latin American criminal organisations as terrorist entities under the country's Criminal Code, giving Canadian law enforcement another tool in the fight against fentanyl trafficking, Public Safety Minister David McGuinty has said. The list includes Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, Jalisco New Generation Cartel and La Nueva Familia Michoacana, and was announced a day after the US government formally designated eight Latin American organized crime groups as "foreign terrorist organisations". "The measures will help keep fentanyl off Canadian streets and from entering the United States," McGuinty told a news conference. The announcement was Canada's latest response to US President Donald Trump 's claim that the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigration into the US were behind his threats of imposing a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods with the exception of 10 per cent on energy. Trump has paused the implementation of those tariffs until at least March 4. US
