The top lieutenant of the Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldy Brar arrived in Canada in 2017, ostensibly to attend Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C.
But it is “unknown” if he ever went to class, records show.
Instead, he helped Bishnoi expand his criminal organization into Canada, allegedly instigating high-profile murders, a political assassination and an extortion crisis.
A classified intelligence report obtained by Global News reveals the Bishnoi gang’s Canadian franchise has relied heavily on Indian youths who, like Brar, entered the country on student visas.
Written by the Canada Border Services Agency, the report cites the gang’s “growing operational presence in Canada” and “demonstrated use of Canada’s immigration programs for criminal purposes.”
“Investigations increasingly identify Indian foreign nationals on study permits and work permits as participants in these organized criminal activities,” the CBSA’s Intelligence and Investigations Directorate wrote.
“The sustained expansion of Bishnoi-linked extortions and the involvement of student permit and work permit holders raises significant concerns for CBSA operations.”
Our son-in-law was laid off in Winnipeg a few weeks ago, his company closed down in Canada. He is 33, a software engineer, and he and our daughter have a new baby.
Now Roblox has recruited him to Silicon Valley. Our daughter will be able to stay at home with our granddaughter, which she would not have been able to do in Winnipeg, like most working parents we know. A huge plus, considering the woke goofball education systems everywhere in the West.
We are proud of him. He earned this. It is an extraordinary opportunity for their young family.
Ignoring the obvious contradiction in the funding announcement, why are we throwing even more tax dollars at a chronic money loser? There was a time when Canada built plenty of locomotives, but apparently we lost all that knowledge and now need to relearn it. Who knew?
“Locomotive assembly is returning to Canada,” Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon said Wednesday at a news conference in Montreal, where the plant will be built.
Ottawa says the trains will be built by Switzerland-based Stadler. The first nine are to be built in Spain, while the remaining 36 will be built in Canada after Canadian workers learn how to assemble them from their Spanish counterparts.
Canadian lumber giant is shifting corporate support operations to Georgia
Canadian lumber giant Interfor Corp., which blamed U.S. tariffs on softwood lumber when it idled two Northern Ontario sawmills indefinitely in April, has told employees it plans to shift its corporate and functional support operations from the company’s current headquarters in Burnaby, B.C., to an office in Georgia.
In a memo sent to employees earlier this month and viewed by the Financial Post, chief executive Ian Fillinger said the Peachtree City office, which is on the outskirts of Atlanta, will be established as Interfor’s “primary hub for corporate and functional support.”[…]
Since last year, Interfor and other lumber companies have been grappling with the impact of U.S. tariffs on softwood lumber. A 10 per cent tariff came on top of longstanding anti-dumping and countervailing duties, and softwood lumber shipments to the U.S. now face a cumulative levy of 45 per cent.
The United States is a big customer for Interfor. According to a November 2025 investor presentation, the U.S. accounted for 84 per cent of Interfor’s lumber sales by market. At the time, 62 per cent of the company’s operations were in the U.S. south and northwest, with the balance in the B.C. interior and eastern Canada.
Still nothing at the CBC this morning.
It’s all well and good to end the requirements for useless ingredients for streaming services, but why turn around and pay streamers directly for stuff no one watches?
The federal government will “eliminate” the financial contribution requirement for streamers set by the CRTC and replace it with government funding, it said in a court document.
Nonetheless, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether this will actually happen or not.
The office of Culture Minister Marc Miller did not immediately respond when asked to clarify the government’s stance or state whether the government plans to eliminate the contribution requirement permanently or temporarily.
When the Liberal backroom boys start to admit that the rest of the world couldn’t care less about Canada, you just know that your chances of “sticking it” to Trump are somewhere between slim and zero.
Clow said that while the world should have stuck together 18 months ago, it would be the wrong approach for Canada to unilaterally retaliate now.
“The ship has kind of sailed here,” he said. “For Canada to now move on its own and implement a whole bunch of retaliatory tariffs, I think, would leave us even more exposed to further escalation and further pain from the Trump administration.”
Well, maybe everything except for an end to supply mismanagement and the US booze ban. It never occurs to our political masters that concessions on those items would actually be a win/win for everyone. David Eby needs to be reminded that Canada is like the guy at the poker table holding deuce-seven off suit. An all-in bet probably wouldn’t be a wise choice.
Ford called for tit-for-tat tariffs on Tuesday and suggested the provinces could “dismantle the U.S. if we wanted to” by exerting pressure through energy exports.
“If you need cards to get the agreement that we need on softwood lumber, to get the agreement that we need on growing prosperity for Americans and for Canadians again … then British Columbia will be there,” Eby said.
‘Even with U.S. tariffs, it’s still cheaper to sell in America than it is in Canada’

When your currency starts to outpace the Japanese Yen in the race to get to the bottom of the dirty laundry pile, you just know that’s not a good outcome.
Net short Canadian dollar positions held by non-commercial accounts stood at $12.5 billion in the latest weekly data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that was released on Friday….
It was the highest net short position for a second straight week of any currency traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the largest in the loonie since December 2024.

My friends, watch out for the little fellow with raised elbows: The entire ribbon cutting ceremony for the Gordie Howe bridge has been cancelled, not just the participation of officials from Canada’s federal government. Also, the full agreement on the bridge is released and it’s not good for Canada.
Apparently most provincial premiers cannot grasp that these tactics have the same chance of success as an economy sedan playing chicken with a bus. Wiser leaders would know enough to concede before it’s too late.
British Columbia Premier David Eby delivered the starkest message: “There is not a chance in hell that U.S. alcohol is going back on the shelves in British Columbia.”

The U.S. said Monday it will be imposing an additional 50 per cent tariff on Canadian imports due to retaliatory and “discriminatory” measures Canada took in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Trump signed three executive orders, each one using a different justification for the new tariff: the provincial and territorial boycotts on American alcohol products, Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S.-made vehicles and auto parts, and quotas on American dairy imports under Canada’s supply management system.
The new tariff will take effect in 30 days and will apply to goods covered by the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade (CUSMA), a senior administration official told reporters on background.
“Over the past year and a half, only two countries have chosen to retaliate against President Trump’s tariffs rather than negotiate a deal with the United States: the People’s Republic of China and Canada,” the White House said in a statement on the new tariff.
Canada exports approximately $1.4 billion worth of alcoholic beverages to U.S. annually. U.S. receives roughly 90% of Canada’s total alcohol exports, with spirits.
Canada exports about $360 million worth of dairy products to the U.S. annually.

According to @globalnews, a third round of detailed 🇲🇽–🇺🇸 negotiations is scheduled for next week, followed by two more meetings in August.
U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra confirmed that none are scheduled with 🇨🇦.
Mexico is at the table. Canada is still waiting for an invitation. That should concern every Canadian.
We are so screwed.
