The rebel faction of the Shiromani Akali Dal has completely rejected Sukhbir Badal's decision to expel them from the party.

A meeting of the rebel faction was held in Chandigarh today under the leadership of Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa. On this occasion, Dhindsa also announced that a general meeting will be called soon to elect a new president of the party. This is a direct challenge to Sukhbir Badal.

Dhindsa said that the head of the political wing of Dera Sacha Sauda has revealed the truth about Sukhbir Badal's meetings with Ram Rahim, so now Sukhbir has no right to remain the party president.

It is to be noted that yesterday the disciplinary committee headed by Balwinder Singh Bhundar announced the expulsion of 8 rebel leaders including Bibi Jagir Kaur, Professor Prem Singh Chandumajra, Parminder Singh Dhindsa and Sikandar Singh Maluka from Shiromani Akali Dal.

Canadian population growth continued to slow with almost no increase in Q1: StatCan

Statistics Canada says population growth stalled in the first quarter. The agency says the Canadian population rose by 20,107 people from Jan. 1 to April 1 to 41,548,787, the smallest increase since the third quarter of 2020 when it contracted by 1,232 people. It was the sixth consecutive quarter of slower population growth after a decision by the federal government in 2024 to lower the levels of both temporary and permanent immigration. However, immigration still accounted for all of the population growth in the quarter as there were 5,628 more deaths than births in Canada. Canada admitted 10

Premier Eby says deal to hire Chinese shipyard not "preferred" but will not interfere

B.C. Premier David Eby says he shares the concerns of union leaders who have criticized BC Ferries' decision to build four large ferries in China. But Eby says he will not interfere with the company's decision to contract a Chinese shipyard owned by the Communist government to build four new ferries, calling the vessels "urgently needed" despite the deal not being his "preferred outcome." The decision by BC Ferries, a company that operates independently of the provincial government but is wholly owned by it, has drawn widespread criticism from groups including the BC Federation of Labour.

And once again, it has come at the expense of the Edmonton Oilers. Sam Reinhart of North Vancouver, B.C., scored four goals, including two into an empty net, as the Panthers claimed their second straight Cup on Tuesday night with a 5-1 win over Edmonton in Game 6 of the NHL's championship series. Either the Panthers or the state-rival Tampa Bay Lightning have appeared in the last six Cup finals, with e
