Trump administration issues another warning to international students

The Trump administration has issued another warning to international students, stating that dropping out or skipping classes or leaving your course without informing the school may result in the cancellation of the student visa and your possibility of getting a visa for the US in the future may also be canceled. It is worth noting that the Trump administration is getting stricter about US visa rules and new instructions are being issued every day for visa conditions, due to which many students going to study in the US are at risk of being sent back to their countries. A few days ago, the Tru

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

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

B.C. man sentenced on drug, firearm charges triggered by silencers found at airport

A Nanaimo, B.C., man has been sentenced to five years in prison and a lifetime firearm ban after an investigation triggered by the discovery of illegal silencers at Vancouver International Airport. The Canada Border Services Agency says officers intercepted three firearm suppressors at the airport in 2022, then in May 2023, CBSA and RCMP members executed search warrants at a residence and two vehicles in Nanaimo. The CBSA says officers seized illicit drugs and multiple firearms including two untraceable ghost guns, a prohibited shotgun, a rifle with a suppressor and two non-restricted rifles.

Saskatchewan Premier Supports Alberta’s Use of Notwithstanding Clause to End Teacher Strike

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he supports Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s decision to invoke the notwithstanding clause to bring an end to the province’s ongoing teachers’ strike. Moe said Alberta’s use of the clause, which temporarily overrides certain Charter rights, was justified to ensure that students could return to classrooms after weeks of labour disruption. He added that provincial governments have a responsibility to use “every tool available” to protect the interests of citizens, including the education of children. The Alberta government invoked the clause this w

Trump says Carney apologized over Ontario’s anti-tariff ad; trade talks remain off the table

U.S. President Donald Trump says Prime Minister Mark Carney has apologized for an Ontario government advertisement criticizing U.S. tariffs, a controversy that led Washington to suspend trade negotiations with Canada earlier this month. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said Carney offered an apology over what he called a “fraudulent” anti-tariff commercial. “He was very nice. He apologized for what they did with the commercial,” Trump said. However, when asked if trade talks with Canada would resume, the president replied, “No.” The Ontario government, led by Premi
