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.

B.C. report warns youth suicide rates remain unchanged as province lags in prevention strategy

A new report commissioned by British Columbia’s chief coroner warns that despite years of concern and investment, the province has made little progress in preventing youth suicide. The findings echo long-standing national data showing that suicide remains one of the leading causes of death for young people across Canada. The review, led by Dr. Jatinder Baidwan, examined the deaths of 435 individuals aged nine to 25 between 2019 and 2023. It found that suicide continues to be the second most common cause of death among children and youth in B.C., and the third among those aged 19 to 29. Those

Flights delayed after B.C. airport hacked with pro-Hamas messages

The airport in Kelowna, B.C., says some flights were delayed after its terminal information screens and public address system were hacked, with social media posts showing pro-Hamas messages on the displays. The posts show screens at Kelowna International Airport saying "Israel lost the war, Hamas won," and calling U.S. President Donald Trump a pig. Other videos depict slogans being played over the airport's public announcement system. The airport has confirmed the incident on its website, adding that staff successfully removed the unauthorized messaging by a "third party." The update posted a

Talks stall between Alberta teachers, government in provincewide strike

Alberta's finance minister says there's a major divide between what the union representing striking teachers is asking for and what the government is willing to spend. Nate Horner says in an interview with CHED radio host Shaye Ganam that the union's latest contract proposal would require almost $2 billion more in spending than government has set aside for a deal. Horner says he was hoping for a more reasonable ask from the Alberta Teachers' Association, whose 51,000 members went on strike Oct. 6. The union's proposal was the subject of a bargaining meeting Tuesday, the first time the two side
