Speaking to the media, Dallewal criticized both the Centre and the Punjab government for their indifference to the issues faced by farmers.

Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who led the farmers' movement at the Khanauri border of Punjab-Haryana, paid obeisance at Sri Harmandir Sahib today and prayed for the successful completion of the Kisan Morcha.

Speaking to the media, Dallewal criticized both the Centre and the Punjab government for their indifference to the issues faced by farmers. He pointed out that while the state government once claimed to be pro-farmer, since the dismantling of the Kisan Morcha, the public’s anger toward the government has only grown. He warned that this sentiment would persist until the 2027 elections.

Police say man charged after Alberta youth launch 'catch a predator' scheme

Alberta RCMP say they have arrested and charged a Calgary man who, it was later determined, had been the focus of a ``catch a predator'' sting operation hatched by a group of youngsters. Mounties say the situation came to light in Airdrie on Monday night when a 12-year-old boy was abducted in a car only to escape at a stoplight and call police. The suspect, a 37-year-old, refused to stop for police and was later arrested at a Calgary residence. Subsequently, police said they learned the suspect had been targeted by at least seven youths in a ``catch a predator'' scheme. The you

Costs of Manitoba’s extreme wildfire season start to take shape, evacuations ongoing

The Manitoba government has signed a 30-million-dollar contract with the Canadian Red Cross for evacuee support and other services related to this year's wildfires. The recently disclosed contract is the first glimpse into the cost of this year's wildfire season, which provincial officials say is the most severe in at least 30 years. Finance Minister Adrien Sala (SAH'-lah) says it's still too early to estimate a final cost, and the government is committed to supporting people who need help.

Canada Post heads back into bargaining with union after delay

Canada Post and the union representing postal workers are set to return to the bargaining table today. Plans to rekindle talks late last week were delayed due to a lack of federal government mediators. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers claimed labour unrest at Air Canada was pulling attention from the postal service's dispute, which has stretched on for more than a year and a half. A few weeks ago, unionized postal workers rejected the Crown corporation's latest offer that would have included wage hikes of around 13 per cent over four years and added part-timers to the workforce.
