Trudeau's former MP filed a case against the Attorney General of Ontario

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 ye

That is the direct result of this government’s approach,” he said. The Conservative leader also pointed to rising public safety concerns, noting rep

Feds seek ideas at national summit to help put brakes on auto theft

Officials from various levels of government are set to gather with police and industry leaders in Ottawa today to brainstorm on fighting the scourge of automobile theft. The federal government says an estimated 90,000 cars are stolen annually in Canada, resulting in about $1 billion in costs to Canadian insurance policy-holders and taxpayers. It says auto theft increasingly involves organized crime groups, and the proceeds of these crimes are used to fund other illegal activities. Ottawa says most stolen autos shipped abroad are destined for Africa and the Middle East. On Wednesday, the govern

Immigration minister 'pissed off' that Canadians' families blocked from leaving Gaza

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says he's frustrated and "pissed off" that a list of people related to Canadians are being blocked from leaving the embattled Gaza Strip. Ottawa started accepting applications last month to reunite as many as 1,000 people in the Palestinian territory with extended family members in Canada. Canada has provided an initial list of pre-approved people to Israel and Egypt, who jointly control the only border crossing out of Gaza. Miller says he is exploring diplomatic options and doesn't want to give up, but he also doesn't want to offer families false hope that the

Angus Reid poll suggests tightening race in B.C. as Conservatives edge ahead of NDP

A new public opinion survey suggests a narrowing political contest in British Columbia, with the BC Conservatives slightly ahead of the governing NDP, according to findings released by the Angus Reid Institute.

The results point to a potential shift in voter sentiment in a province where the NDP, led by Premier David Eby, currently holds power. According to the Angus Reid report, one factor contributing to the shift is voter concern over
