Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday called Prime Minister Modi and expressed grief over the 26 people killed in the Pahalgam terrorist attack and expressed full support to India in the fight against terrorism.

Putin said that those involved in the attack and those behind them should be brought to justice.

It is noteworthy that Putin is scheduled to visit India this year, but the information about the month or date of his visit has not yet been revealed. However, this will be Putin's first visit to India since the war with Ukraine began in 2022.

Earlier, in 2021, he had visited India for only 4 hours, during which 28 agreements were signed between the two countries. These included military and technical agreements.

B.C. health minister says about 6,000 on 'extended leave' from mental health care

British Columbia's health minister says almost 6,000 people were on leave from involuntary mental health care in the province last week, pushing back against Opposition claims that the patients aren't being tracked. The status is known as extended leave, in which a person receiving involuntary mental health treatment is allowed back into the community while remaining under care. It's been in focus since it emerged that the suspect in last month's Lapu Lapu Day festival attack that killed 11 people in Vancouver was on extended leave at the time. Claire Rattée, the B.C.

Driver arrested after car plows into celebrating Liverpool fans

A driver was arrested Monday after plowing into a crowd of Liverpool soccer fans who had been celebrating the city soccer team’s Premier League championship, police said. Merseyside Police said they were investigating reports that multiple pedestrians had been hit. A video on social media appeared to show a gray minivan strike at least one pedestrian and then veer into a larger crowd of people, carving a path through the group and pushing bodies along the street like a plow before coming to a stop. Harry Rashid, who was at the parade with his wife and two young daughters, said the car began

Alberta's Smith calls three byelections where NDP leader, separatist leader to run

Commercial kitchen faces sentencing in 2023 E. coli outbreak at Calgary daycares

A commercial kitchen is facing a sentencing hearing today after an E. coli outbreak at Calgary daycares in 2023 that saw hundreds of children fall ill. Fueling Minds Inc. pleaded guilty to four bylaw offences in April following charges stemming from the outbreak. Over the course of two months in the fall of 2023, 448 people were infected with E. coli and among them, 39 children and one adult were hospitalized. A joint submission from the lawyers has recommended a fine of $10,000. A report by Alberta Health Services last year said the outbreak was likely tied to meat loaf, but tha

Canada faces 'massive challenge' as NATO eyes new 5% spending target: expert

When representatives of NATO nations meet in The Hague late next month, they're expected to dramatically hike the alliance's defence spending target for members — the one Canada is failing to hit already. When Prime Minister Mark Carney attends the NATO summit next month, he'll likely be under pressure to commit to a new defence spending target of five per cent of national GDP. The meeting of NATO countries is scheduled to be held on June 24 and 25. At the 2024 NATO summit in Washington, after a series of U.S. politicians blasted Canada for failing to meet its commitments, Trudeau pledged
