He has filed this case last year in connection with his acquittal by the Ontario Court of the two charges of breach of trust, in which he was charged with abuse of political office.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former MP Raj Grewal has sued the RCMP and Ontario's attorney general for $50-million in damages.

He has filed this case last year in connection with his acquittal by the Ontario Court of the two charges of breach of trust, in which he was charged with abuse of political office.

Grewal was accused of taking money to cover gambling losses to work on immigration files and to have two Brampton-area businessmen join the prime minister's program during Trudeau's 2018 visit to India.

The Ontario Superior Court dismissed both breach of trust charges in March last year. Grewal says that these allegations forced him to live with social stigma and irreparably damaged his budding political career.

Also there was difficulty in obtaining financial activities to purchase commercial and personal property. Grewal has sought $25.6 million in damages from the RCMP.

Farm Groups Plan Statewide Railway Blockade in Punjab on December 5

Farmer unions in Punjab say they will stage a statewide railway blockade on December 5 to highlight what they describe as unresolved demands related to minimum support price legislation and other pending issues. The action has been announced by the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Morcha, which has been leading several recent mobilizations in the state. Union representative Sarwan Singh Pandher said the protest will be symbolic and peaceful, adding that its purpose is to draw the attention of both the central and Punjab governments to long-standing commitments farmers believe remain unaddressed.

Petition urging Alberta to stay in Canada reaches required signature threshold

A provincewide petition asserting that Alberta should remain within Canada has met the legal threshold and has been formally validated by Elections Alberta.

Under provincial law, the successful verification sends the matter to an all-party committee of the Alberta legislature, which will determine whether a provincewide referendum on national unity should move ahead. The process is part of Alberta’s citizen-initiative

Algoma Steel announces 1,000 layoffs as U.S. tariffs force early transition to new production model

Algoma Steel says it will lay off roughly 1,000 employees as the company accelerates a major shift in its operations to respond to steep U.S. trade tariffs. The Sault Ste. Marie–based producer confirmed the notices were issued Monday, with the cuts taking effect in March. Company representatives say the 50 per cent tariff imposed by the United States last year sharply reduced access to its largest export market. With about 2,700 employees, Algoma has been among the Canadian steelmakers most affected by the ongoing trade dispute, which replaced a previously integrated North American steel sup

In a letter made public Thursday, Guilbeault wrote that he respects the prime minister’s efforts to navigate what he described as a period of “profound disruption,” but said he could not support the memorandum of understanding with Alberta.
