A big blow to Manish Sisodia, the High Court made a strong comment while rejecting the bail petition

Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia did not get relief from the High Court and Rouse Avenue Court in the money laundering case related to the liquor scam. The Delhi High Court canceled his bail. They had approached the High Court against the decision of the Rouse Avenue court. The trial court had denied him bail on April 30. The High Court said that Sisodia is an influential person. Many people have given statements against him. So the possibility cannot be ruled out that they can go out on bail and ask those people to change their statements. However, the high court allowed Sis

Liberal party spokesman Parker Lund says the language was auto-populated, and is standard language for events posted on their website. He bl

The office of Immigration Minister Marc Miller says he is on track to present a proposal to his fellow cabinet ministers before Parliament rises for its summer break next month.

Calgary Chamber Warns of Economic Fallout From Alberta Split

A report commissioned by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce warns of significant economic consequences if Alberta were to separate from Canada.

The report notes that Alberta is Canada’s most trade-exposed jurisdiction, making the province particularly vulnerable to higher trade costs. The report comes three weeks before Albertans vote on 10 referendum questions, including one on
