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.

Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke Slams Release of High-Risk Offenders

Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke has expressed strong concern after two high-risk offenders were released into the city within just two days. Following a public warning issued by the Surrey Police Service, Locke said violent offenders such as Jonathan Muzichka and Skyler Pelletier should not be released to live in Surrey.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called on Prime Minister Mark Carney to clarify discussions surrounding Canada’s potential associate membership, special alliance or any other proposed arrangement with the European Union. Poilievre said the Conservative Party’s position is clear: it fully supports Canada’s decades-old free trade relationship and NATO alliance with Europe, but strongly opposes imposing any European taxes, laws or open-border immigration policies on Canadians.
