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

Panthers beat Oilers, again, to repeat as Stanley Cup champions

Canada may be the home of hockey, but the Stanley Cup is maintaining its residence in the Sunshine State. For the second straight season, the Florida Panthers have extended Canada's Cup drought. 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

Canada, India agree to name new high commissioners at G7 meeting

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G-7 summit today. During the discussion, both countries decided to appoint new High Commissioners. Along with this, regular diplomatic services will be restored for citizens of both countries. Canada expelled six Indian diplomats and consular officials last fall. This decision was taken after law enforcement reported that Indian government agents were involved in a targeted campaign against Canadian citizens. Chinmoy Naik is currently serving as the Acting High Commissioner of India to Canada.

Panthers can clinch a 2nd consecutive Stanley Cup championship by beating the Oilers in Game 6

The Florida Panthers can win the Stanley Cup for the second year in a row by beating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the final. Their first chance to clinch the franchise's second championship comes at home after a dominant performance in Game 5 at Edmonton. Players say they learned important lessons from failing to close out the Oilers three timesin the final a year ago. Still, the Stanley Cup being in the building is enough to rile up the nerves in what could be the final game of the NHL season.

“Shameful Blame Game”: MLA Elenore Sturko Condemns Minister Garry Begg for Targeting Victims Amid Surrey Extortion Crisis

At a public safety forum in Surrey this weekend, frustration in the South Asian business community reached a boiling point. Community members, many of them extortion victims, spoke out about a justice system they no longer trust. Instead of standing with victims, NDP Public Safety Minister Garry Begg blamed the community for not coming forward. His comments, made in front of survivors and concerned citizens, shocked attendees and drew immediate condemnation from MLA Elenore Sturko, Official Opposition Critic for Solicitor General and Public Safety. “At yesterday’s public safety town hall

Global Affairs Canada says it hasn’t received any reports of Canadian injuries or deaths in the conflict.

He says strong protection must be a pr

Ford Pushes Back After Trump Again Refers to Canada as ‘51st State’

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is pushing back against renewed comments from U.S. President Donald Trump, who once again referred to Canada as the “51st state” in a social media post Tuesday.
