Canada's next prime minister Mark Carney slammed US President Donald Trump for "unjustified tariffs", saying Americans should make no mistake as Canada will win the trade war just as it wins in hockey. Carney, who won the election for the leadership of the ruling Liberal Party to succeed Justin Trudeau as prime minister, in his victory speech Sunday also hit out at the American president for suggesting that Canada should join America as its 51st state. "America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn't ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves," 59-year-old Carney said. "So, Americans should make no mistake In trade, as in hockey, Canada will win. But this victory will not be easy. We are facing the most significant crisis of our lives.

Canadian report finds 'no definitive link' between Nijjar killing and India

A Canada commission report has said that "no definitive link" with a "foreign state" in the killing of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was "proven", smashing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations that accused the involvement of Indian agents in the killing. In September 2023, Trudeau said Canada had credible evidence that agents of the Indian government were involved in the murder of Nijjar in British Columbia in June 2023. The report titled "Public Inquiry Into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions' was released on Tuesday. In the report commissioner Marie-Josee Hogue said "Disinformation is used as a retaliatory tactic to punish decisions that run contrary to a state's interests." The report has suggested India spread disinformation on the killing of Nijjar. "This may have been the case with a disinformation campaign that followed the Prime Minister's announcement regarding suspected Indian involvement in the .

Made mistakes in immigration policy, will reduce their number: Trudeau

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has admitted that his government made "mistakes" in its immigration policy which led to "bad actors" like "fake colleges" and big corporations exploiting the system for their vested interests.
