Prime Minister Mark Carney's national security adviser says India has "absolutely" committed to co-operating and sharing information with Canadian police for ongoing investigations.

Nathalie Drouin told reporters outside the cabinet room on Parliament Hill today that she had a "very productive meeting" last week with Indian government officials.

Drouin travelled to India and met with Ajit Doval, New Delhi's national security adviser, to talk about mutual security issues and transnational repression.

Bilateral relations have been strained since then-prime minister Justin Trudeau revealed in 2023 that Canada had evidence of Indian government involvement in the assassination of a Sikh activist on Canadian soil.

But signs of a thaw in the years-long diplomatic chill started to emerge in June, when Carney met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G7 summit in Kananaskis.

India's new high commissioner to Canada officially started his new job in Ottawa on Wednesday.

Singh fought with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in Europe, was twice wounded in action, and later died of tuberculosis in 1919. His gravesite in

Saskatchewan Premier Supports Alberta’s Use of Notwithstanding Clause to End Teacher Strike

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he supports Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s decision to invoke the notwithstanding clause to bring an end to the province’s ongoing teachers’ strike. Moe said Alberta’s use of the clause, which temporarily overrides certain Charter rights, was justified to ensure that students could return to classrooms after weeks of labour disruption. He added that provincial governments have a responsibility to use “every tool available” to protect the interests of citizens, including the education of children. The Alberta government invoked the clause this w

Trump says Carney apologized over Ontario’s anti-tariff ad; trade talks remain off the table

U.S. President Donald Trump says Prime Minister Mark Carney has apologized for an Ontario government advertisement criticizing U.S. tariffs, a controversy that led Washington to suspend trade negotiations with Canada earlier this month. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said Carney offered an apology over what he called a “fraudulent” anti-tariff commercial. “He was very nice. He apologized for what they did with the commercial,” Trump said. However, when asked if trade talks with Canada would resume, the president replied, “No.” The Ontario government, led by Premi
