Punjab Chief Minister seeks Canada’s help in catching Indian gangsters PUNJAB’S Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday requested Canadian High Commissioner in India, Cameron MacKay, for help in catching Indian gangsters operating in Canada and creating law and order problems in his state.

Mann tweeted after meeting MacKay at his residence in Chandigarh: “Discussed during the meeting with the High Commissioner of Canadian Affairs @HCCanInd in India. He considered my request and promised a speedy solution.”

MacKay tweeted: “Good discussion with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann about the strong connections between Canada and #Punjab. We will work together to support the rule of law and robust cooperation between our law enforcement agencies … Looking forward to building on our first meeting.”

The request from Mann comes in the wake of the brutal murder in Punjab of internationally famous singer Sidhu Moose Wala who was based in Brampton, Ontario. Indian police have alleged that Moose Wala’s killing was ordered by a Canada-based Punjabi gangster.

Indian police have alleged that Goldy Brar, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in Punjab, has claimed responsibility.

Indian media has reported that Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against Satinderjeet Singh alias Goldy Brar. Brar, a native of Sri Muktsar Sahib,

Memorial for Air India bombing victims in Vancouver on June 23 THE 37th annual memorial for the 329 victims of the terrorist bombing of Air India Flight 182 from Canada off the Irish coast will be held on Thursday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m. in Vancouver in Stanley Park’s Ceperley Playground area.

The bombing resulted in the killing of all 329 crew and passengers (of which 82 were children below the age of 13), including 268 Canadian citizens, 27 British citizens, 22 American citizens and 24 Indian citizens, and remains the worst terrorist attack against Canada. It also remains the biggest aviation disaster after 9/11.

Former MLA Dave Hayer said that this memorial will not only remember the 329 victims of this bombing, but also all their family members as well as two baggage handlers in Narita, Japan, who died when a bomb in the luggage meant for another Air India plane

THE Fiji Canada Business Association (FCBA) this week presented a cheque for $25,000 to the Progressive Intercultural Community Services (PICS) for its seniors’ care facility in Surrey.

The money raised through a gala hosted by FCBA on May 7 is part of a contribution of $100,000 from Fiji Canadians towards a new $85-million care facility built by PICS in Cloverdale, Surrey.

“The new facility will have one of the many hallways named as a Fijian landmark,” said Kavin Chand, FCBA President.

He noted: “There’s urgent need for facility expansion as our Fijian population in the Metro Vancouver and

At present, more than 50 percent of elders of Fijian ethnicity reside full-time at the PICS care facility.

Fiji-born Canadian businessman and philanthropist Peter Raju contributed half of the funds that were raised at the gala.

Raju has pledged to contribute and match the amount raised by Fijians in the future towards the PICS facility.

The FCBA was formed in 2017 and its members are mainly of Fijian ethnicity associated with businesses in the Metro Vancouver area.

CBC report on McCallum’s feet not being visible on video footage is very interesting VOICE OPINION COLUMN CBC reporter Jason Proctor in a June 11 report on the RCMP’s search warrant in Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum’s case — in which he had claimed that a woman ran over his foot with her car — that led to a public mischief charge against him brings out a very interesting fact.

Proctor wrote: “According to the search warrant, a “small shrub” obscures McCallum’s legs from the knee down in the video.

“As the [vehicle] was pulled away, McCallum began to angle his body away from the [vehicle],” the document says.

“McCallum does make a very small movement with his left leg, but due to the angle of the shrub,

it is unclear what was the cause or purpose of this movement.”

The search warrant also states further on: “As the [redacted] is driving away, the rear passenger side tire passes McCallum as he starts turning his body away from the [redacted] and starts to simultaneously walk as the tire passes him. [McCallum’s feet are not visible in this video clip as the same shrub mentioned earlier is blocking the view].”

Some analysts tell The VOICE that this fact could be a key defence argument in favour of McCallum.

McCallum’s lawyer is Richard Peck who is regarded as the best legal brain.

Also, Surrey-ites wonder what fairness McCallum can expect after

a judge allowed the search warrant to be unsealed before the trial.

Meanwhile, it’s quite clear that the RCMP’s main focus in Surrey is not on gangsters and terrorists – it is on McCallum.

Because it is all about trying to sabotage the ongoing transition from the RCMP to the Surrey Police Service.

Government sources tell The VOICE that the RCMP is still deliberately dragging its feet in the transition process. As is well known, the RCMP and its police union have been trying every trick in the book in coordination with some councillors to sabotage the process. The disgraceful rowdy demonstration in Surrey City Council recently by a group of old white people supporting the RCMP vividly shows how low this group can stoop and just how desperate they are.

However, government sources have also made it clear to The VOICE that there is no turning back the transition process no matter who wins in the upcoming municipal election.

Unchecked growth of money laundering in B.C. thanks to RCMP’s lack of attention: Cullen Commission

(EDITOR’S NOTE: RCMP bosses in their cozy digs in Ottawa were quite obviously least bothered about British Columbia. The arrogant Mounties just made token efforts and snubbed B.C. politicians.)

FORMER B.C. Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen has slammed the RCMP in his �inal report on money laundering in B.C. Under the heading “The RCMP’s lack of attention to money laundering has allowed for the unchecked growth of money laundering since at least 2012,” the Executive Summary of the �inal report that was released on Wednesday, states that “without a dedicated unit, RCMP money laundering investigations were subject to the federal prioritization process and were weighed against other pressures and priorities, such

body available to address the casino problem. Consequently, “the volume of suspicious cash entering BC casinos rose to unprecedented levels.”

Here’s the Executive Summary on this aspect:

The result was that money laundering and proceeds of crime investigations were given very little attention. Important investigations

in British Columbia, including the investigation into money laundering at BC casinos, were terminated.

In spite of repeated requests, after 2012 there was no enforcement

Prior to 2012, the RCMP maintained some capacity and expertise to pursue money laundering and proceeds of crime investigations.

A shift in focus in 2012 largely eliminated that capacity and expertise, leaving, for the next decade, a glaring enforcement gap.

This gap left money laundering to proliferate in this province, largely unchecked.

From 1990 to 2012, the RCMP maintained Integrated Proceeds of Crime (IPOC) units in each province.

“There was no sustained effort to investigate money laundering activity in British Columbia” CONTINUED FROM 3 These units were responsible for the most serious money laundering and proceeds of crime investigations. They developed a high level of expertise and were critical to the federal government’s strategy to combat organized crime.

In 2011, the officer-in-charge of the British Columbia IPOC unit became concerned about the large volume of $20 bills being received by BC casinos and initiated an investigation. The investigation revealed substantial amounts of cash entering BC casinos, which the investigators believed were from criminal activity. These investigators also correctly identified the typology being used to launder this cash – a group of cash facilitators were loaning large sums of cash to high-limit gamblers, who often paid back

the debt using a cross-border value and payment transfer system, which allows for cash to be advanced in one country and the debt repaid in another.

In 2012, the federal government made significant cuts to government services and disbanded the IPOC units. This left no enforcement body with primary responsibility to investigate money laundering or proceeds of crime in this province. The disbandment of the IPOC units was a pivotal moment, which allowed for the unchecked growth of money laundering in the gaming industry and other sectors of the economy for the better part of a decade.

Without a dedicated unit, RCMP money laundering investigations were subject to the federal prioritization process and were weighed against other pressures and priorities, such as national security. This resulted

in money laundering and proceeds of crime investigations being given very little attention. Important investigations in British Columbia, including the investigation into money laundering at BC casinos, were terminated.

After 2012, despite repeated requests, there was no enforcement body available to address the casino problem, and the volume of suspicious cash entering BC casinos rose to unprecedented levels.

In 2015, the BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC), in part by leveraging a personal relationship, was finally able to convince the Federal Serious and Organized Crime (FSOC) section of the RCMP to start an investigation. In that year, BCLC reported over $183 million in suspicious transactions to FINTRAC. Shortly into its investigation, FSOC was able to make a direct link between the suspicious

cash being provided to patrons at the River Rock Casino Resort and an unlicensed money services business in Richmond.

The investigation uncovered evidence suggesting that upwards of $220 million in illicit funds was being moved through this single money services business each year.

Unfortunately, this one investigation was an anomaly. There was no sustained effort to investigate money laundering activity in British Columbia. Between 2015 and 2020, there were only two other major money laundering investigations that progressed to the charge-approval stage. This level of attention by the RCMP to money laundering is not commensurate with the money laundering activity and risks in this province.

Cullen Commission Final Report: https://cullencommission.ca/com-rep/

The ‘enormous’ volume of money laundering in B.C. is profoundly concerning: Attorney General DAVID Eby, Attorney General, in response to the Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia, said on Wednesday that Commissioner Austin Cullen’s finding, after more than a year of study, that the volume of money

laundering in our province is ‘enormous’ is profoundly concerning.

In a statement, Eby said: “The findings of this commission validate the concerns of many British Columbians. They were right to be worried and right

to be demanding action on money laundering. The commissioner’s finding, after more than a year of study, that the volume of money laundering in our province is ‘enormous’ is profoundly concerning. It is also well grounded in testi-

This important conclusion and the commission’s connection of money laundering to violent crime and the illicit and poisoned drug trade also confirms our government’s reasons for taking action, and the need for further efforts from governments, regulators and businesses.

“The commission has confirmed there was a serious and decade-long problem of

organized crime laundering hundreds of millions of dollars in B.C. casinos, and that it was the work of our government in 2017 that uncovered this for the public and ended this criminality. I am proud of our response, and grateful for the support of colleagues, including then-minister of finance Carole James and Premier John Horgan who supported what needed to be done in our casinos, even though those actions jeopardized provincial revenue.

“Our government has continued work on anti-money laundering measures based on previous reports, and much of this work overlaps with the commission’s recommendations.

Our government will evaluate these new recommendations from the commissioner and co-ordinate them with the work government already has underway, in particular in relation to housing and real estate.

“I am appreciative of Canada’s participation in this inquiry.

This report is important for the federal government too. It contains significant and challenging findings and calls to action for our federal government. I hope and expect that the new federal minister with responsibility for this file will join with us in addressing this important shared challenge.

“I believe these recommendations will help us to transform the meaning of the ‘Vancouver model’ from a description of unchecked dirty money moving through our casinos to a model of governments responding forcefully to the threat of money laundering.

I look forward to working on these reforms with my colleagues both inside and outside government, and all British Columbians.”

Sikh rally in Ottawa targeted with false bomb threat THe World Sikh Organization of Canada (WSO) on Monday called on Canadian law enforcement agencies to fully investigate and prosecute those responsible for targeting a Sikh rally in Ottawa with a false bomb threat.

On Saturday, based on a false tip, police cordoned off and surrounded the area around Parliament Hill in Ottawa and detained two Sikh organizers of a rally commemorating the 1984 Indian Army attack on the Sri Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple) complex in Amritsar, Punjab.

According to law enforcement, the detailed tip included the names of the Sikh organizers, photographs and license plate numbers.

On Saturday night, sources confirmed to the media that a “major” national security investigation was underway related to “Sikh extremists.”

Tejinder Singh Sidhu After investigations turned up no actual threat or explosives, the two detained Sikhs were released without charges.

The WSO noted that this was not the first time the Canadian Sikh community has been targeted by false bomb threats. Such threats targeting the Sikh community were frequently made in the 1980s. In June 1985, a call was made to police to report that “Sikh extremists” were planning to bomb a concert at Maple Leaf Gardens featuring Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar. The tip was investigated and found to be a hoax.

The WSO added: “The false narrative of “Sikh extremism” has repeatedly been used in the past by the Government of India and Indian media to target legitimate Sikh expression and the Canadian Sikh community generally.

Unfortunately, this narrative has also been uncritically perpetuated by Canadian media, law enforcement and politics in the past.”

WSO President Tejinder Singh Sidhu said:

“The hoax bomb threat targeting a Sikh rally in Ottawa is deeply concerning. This was clearly an attempt to obstruct the commemoration of the 1984 Indian attack on Sri Darbar Sahib and to frighten Sikhs who attend such events. This is yet another example of false allegations of ‘Sikh extremism’ being used to thwart and suppress legitimate Sikh expression.

“Notably, throughout the week, Canadian MPs from all political parties also commemorated the 1984 attack on social media and a statement in the House of Commons was made by MP Ruby Sahota.

“We call on law enforcement agencies, including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to fully investigate this incident and ensure those responsible for making the false threat are fully prosecuted and held accountable.”

BY AMAN SINGH NDP MLA for Richmond-Queensborough JUNE is Pride Month.

Throughout this month, we honour and celebrate the origins of Pride Month, and the 2SLGBTQ+ community’s hard-fought journey to attain the basic human rights and freedoms that so many others take for granted.

The history of the rights of 2SLGBTQ+ people in North America include significant events like in New York in 1969, where riots began at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in response to years of suppression. As a result of these riots, the first Pride marches took place in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco one year later.

Canada has its own rich history. Here in British Columbia, the University of Victoria hosts the largest Transgender archives in the world. These records go back over 120 years and include original documents recording the history of pioneering activists, community leaders, and researchers who have contributed to the betterment of trans, non-binary, Two-Spirit, and other gender-diverse people. These documents are in 15 languages from 23 countries, and are accessible to everyone, free of charge.

As I take a moment to remember the history of Pride, I know there is more work to do.

2SLGBTQ+ people continue to face stigma and discrimination, which puts people at risk for much higher rates of violence, poverty, mental health issues, and other complex challenges. For Indigenous people and people of colour, this stigma and discrimination is compounded. That is why our government continues to work hard to advance the rights and freedoms for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Some actions our government has taken include re-establishing the B.C. Human Rights Commissioner and updating instances of gendered language across 15 ministries’ regulations to reflect the diversity of British Columbians. We have also taken action to ensure the spectrum of gender identity is included on B.C. government ID and that people can change their gender designation without confirmation of a phy-

Former Solicitor General Coleman says report proves BC Liberals were not ignoring money laundering FORMER Solicitor General Rich Coleman on Wednesday said in a statement that the the Cullen Commission’s conclusions prove that allegations that the BC Liberals were ignoring money laundering, or were corrupt, were politically-motivated oversimplifications that ignored the work the government was doing to address casino management.

“The taxpayers of BC have spent tens of millions of dollars over the past three years for this inquiry, and the conclusion is that we were all doing our jobs, and doing them as well as we could in difficult circumstances,” Coleman said. “As the NDP is learning, government is complicated, and the information received by ministers can often conflict with each other. But slinging mud at the professionals and public servants doing their best

Rich Coleman

on behalf of the people of BC is not in anyone’s interest.”

Coleman hopes the public will now know the truth: that the people responsible for BC casinos did their best to identify and stop a handful of bad actors, and actually had relatively positive outcomes while managing very challenging situations. As Cullen laid out in his report: “[No elected officials] knowingly encouraged, facilitated, or permitted money laundering to occur in order to obtain personal benefit or advantage, be it financial, political, or otherwise… after a thorough inquiry, I found no evidence of corruption.”

“The word corruption has been tossed around irresponsibly by media and politicians for several years, but the Commissioner

has found that to be utterly false,” said Coleman. “While hindsight is 20/20 and there is always more that could have been done, the idea that we were somehow purposefully ignoring or somehow aiding money laundering has been proven to be incorrect.”

In his final report, Cullen noted that Coleman received different advice from different branches of the public service, and that Coleman did the right thing by engaging an independent expert, Robert Kroeker, to review the differing information he was given.

“The Commissioner has reinforced clearly that this decision was, as he wrote, ‘prudent and appropriate’,” said Coleman. “The Commission’s toughest criticism was for federal law enforcement and specifically FINTRAC, concerns I share.”

Falcon must apologize for B.C. Liberal failures on money laundering, says MLA Andrew Mercier NDP Langley MLA Andrew Mercier pointed out on Thursday: “On March 15, 2022, B.C. Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon said: “I’m very interested in seeing the results of this [Cullen] commission [on money laundering].

And I want you to know this. That if it points out that while we were in government we were in any way responsible, I will absolutely apologize on behalf of our party.”

Mercier has now written to Falcon to ask him to apologize to British Columbians for his and his party’s failures on money laundering.

the Vancouver model persisted as a significant issue for approximately a decade until 2018.” (p. 640) As Finance Minister, your 2012-13 budget certainly included significant revenue from illegally laundered money.

Yesterday, your Attorney General Critic Mike de Jong even admitted “we are responsible.”

Hundreds of millions of dollars of the pro-

ceeds of crime were laundered in our province because of your government’s “lack of will.” The damage is difficult to measure.

It’s time to apologize to British Columbians for you and your government’s failures on money laundering.

Mercier states in his letter: Andrew Mercier showed “a significant failure of will” to fight money laundering.

He wrote: “What was lacking prior to 2018 was not the identification of an appropriate policy response, but rather the will – on the part of both government and industry – to take the kind of decisive action necessary to effectively respond to this problem.” (p.

15) He also found that the problem began five years before you left government: “…following its emergence in 2008, money laundering in the gaming industry through

Premier John Horgan Photo: BC Government with matches held in select host cities across North America. This World Cup will be the largest ever held, and the first to feature 48 teams playing in 80 matches. It is expected that the United States will host 60 matches, with Canada and Mexico expected to host 10 matches each.

The Province will work with FIFA to confirm the number of matches that will be held in Vancouver.

“B.C. has made its mark on the international stage, and I am thrilled that Vancouver was selected as one of the host cities for this tournament,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “We worked hard with all our partners to put our best foot forward for this bid. We are ready to welcome the world here, in Vancouver and all around the province.

This event will attract visitors from all over the world, and we know that when first-time visitors come to B.C, they return again and again, while promoting B.C. to others. They fill up our hotel rooms, buy from our local businesses, support our economy and have long-lasting benefits for our tourism sector. We can’t wait to show them what beautiful B.C. has to offer.”

Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart said: “Vancouver is thrilled to welcome the world to Vancouver in 2026. Following the success of hosting the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015, Vancouver is poised to take the next step and host the largest FIFA World Cup ever. With world-class amenities, excellent venues, one of the best stadiums in North America, and Canada’s biggest football fans, we can’t wait to partner with Host First Nations and the Province of B.C. to host the world’s largest sporting event.”

At this time, the estimated costs for planning, staging and hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026 in B.C. range from $240 million to $260 million.

This estimate is before considering offsetting contributions from the federal government and the City of Vancouver, stadium and training site rentals and other sources, and potential marketing opportunities that are expected to generate revenue. Additionally, early modelling from Destination BC and BC Stats estimates that the tournament could bring more than $1 billion in new revenue to B.C.’s tourism sector during the tournament and in the five years following, depending on the number of matches played in Vancouver.

Local First Nations communities have expressed their support, and further collaboration is expected to facilitate this tournament on their lands. These factors will have impacts on additional potential revenues. The ministry will provide ongoing updates on event details.

Quick Facts * The FIFA World Cup is an international soccer competition, highly popular among soccer fans and others around the world, and is hosted in a different country every four years. * The next FIFA World Cup will be held in Qatar in November 2022. * The Canadian men’s national team qualified for a place at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, a first since 1986. * Vancouver (including BC Place Stadium) was invited to apply to plan and stage matches in summer 2026, and the city was approved as one of 22 candidate host cities in April 2022.

Suspension of vaccine mandates for domestic travellers, transportation workers, federal employees

THE federal government announced on Tuesday that as of June 20 it will suspend vaccination requirements for domestic and outbound travel, federally regulated transportation sectors and federal government employees.

The government said that while the suspension of vaccine mandates reflects an improved public health situation in Canada, the COVID-19 virus continues to evolve and circulate in Canada and globally. Given this context, and because vaccination rates and virus control in other countries vary significantly, current vaccination requirements at the border will remain in effect. This will reduce the potential impact of international travel on Canada’s health care system and serve as added protection against any future variant.

Other public health measures, such as wearing a mask, continue to apply and will be enforced throughout a traveller’s journey on a plane or train.

Travellers and transportation workers * As of June 20, the vaccination requirement to board a plane or a train in Canada will be suspended. * In addition, federally regulated transport sector employers will no longer be required to have mandatory vaccination policies in place for employees. * Due to the unique nature of cruise ship travel, vaccination requirements for passengers and crew of cruise ships will continue to remain in effect. * Masking and other public health protection measures will continue to be in place and enforced on planes, trains, and ships. * Current border measures, including the existing vaccination requirement for most foreign nationals to enter Canada, and quarantine and testing requirements for Canadians who have not received their primary vaccine series, remain in effect.

Federal public service * Also on June 20, the “Policy on COVID-19 Vaccination for the Core Public Administration (CPA) Including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police” will be suspended.

* Employees of the CPA will be strongly encouraged to remain up to date with their vaccinations; however, they will no longer be required to be vaccinated as a condition of employment. * As such, employees who are on administrative leave without pay for noncompliance with the Policy in force until now will be contacted by their managers to arrange their return to regular work duties.

Crown corporations and separate agencies will also be asked to suspend vaccine requirements, and the vaccination requirement for supplier personnel accessing federal government workplaces will also be suspended. With the suspension of vaccination requirements, employees placed on unpaid leave may return to work. The government and other employers will ensure that these employees can resume their duties as seamlessly as possible.

Also, the Government of Canada is no longer moving forward with proposed regulations under Part II (Occupational Health and Safety) of the Canada Labour Code to make vaccination mandatory in all federally regulated workplaces.

The government said it will not hesitate to make adjustments based on the latest public health advice and science to keep Canadians safe. This could include an up-to-date vaccination mandate at the border, the reimposition of public service and transport vaccination mandates, and the introduction of vaccination mandates in federally regulated workplaces in the fall, if needed.

Entry requirements remain for travel to Canada from abroad Canadian citizens and Canadian permanent residents returning from international destinations who do not qualify for the fully vaccinated traveller exemption continue to be required to provide a valid pre-entry test result, remain subject to Day 1 and Day 8 molecular testing, and quarantine for 14 days.

In addition, all travellers entering Canada are required to input their mandatory information in ArriveCAN within 72 hours before their arrival in Canada. Travellers who arrive without completing their ArriveCAN

'-2- +%4-3 1MH]IEV 1IIXMRK :MVXYEPP] .YRI

submission may be subject to Day 1, Day 8 molecular testing, quarantine for 14 days, and to fines or other enforcement actions, regardless of their vaccination status.

Foreign nationals Vaccine requirements for entry into Canada

by foreign nationals remain unchanged at this time. Foreign nationals who are not fully vaccinated continue to be prohibited entry into Canada. With the suspension of the domestic mandate, unvaccinated foreign nationals will continue to be able to depart Canada by plane or train.

John Horgan’s unaffordable NDP are making life worse for British Columbians: BC Liberals THE BC Liberal Party on Tuesday unveiled a new ad campaign highlighting “the NDP’s failed record on affordability.”

Trevor Halford ality is life is more expensive than ever before,” said BC Liberal MLA Trevor Halford.

British Columbia has the highest gas prices in North America, the highest rents in Canada, and the highest housing costs in North America. It is clear the NDP’s policies aren’t working, said the BC Liberals.

“From gas, to housing, to groceries, to rent, life under John Horgan’s unaffordable NDP is getting more and more expensive. British Columbians are working harder and harder to get ahead while falling further and further behind because of the NDP’s inaction,” added Halford.

The BC Liberals said that while the NDP talks a big game on affordability, they aren’t doing anything to help people as they struggle to deal with rising costs.

“In the midst of a historic affordability crisis, the NDP’s core priorities are spending a billion dollars on a vanity mega-museum no one asked for and giving the premier and cabinet a $500,000 raise over the next four years,” said Halford.

“It’s clear John Horgan’s unaffordable NDP are more focused on boosting their own egos and padding their own pocketbooks rather than helping British Columbians.”

British Columbians can visit www.unaffordablendp.ca to share how the NDP’s record of failure is affecting them, said the BC Liberals.

Falcon continues to fight speculation tax even though it’s working: NDP

B.C. Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon and fellow MLA Ben Stewart have doubled down on their opposition to the speculation tax, one week after an independent report found the tax has caused owners of multiple homes to rent out their vacant properties, adding 20,000 rental units in Metro Vancouver.

Grace Lore Speaking to Mo Amir on Vancolour, Falcon repeated his defence of speculators with vacant homes: Falcon: “The speculation tax is about charging people who own second homes a fee for owning those homes.”

Mo Amir: “Vacant homes though, in high demand areas.”

Falcon: “But that includes cabins and cottages on lake fronts, et cetera, so they are going to be paying extra.”

In fact, areas that are primarily vacation homes are exempt. The tax focused on high-demand urban communities where there is a severe housing shortage.

Stewart jumped on Twitter to echo Falcon and claim the tax was unpopular: “Another BC NDP tax grab on second homes the hated Speculation Tax an additional cost to home buyers. Layered taxes cost homeowners and drive up housing prices.”

Polls have consistently shown that British Columbians overwhelmingly support the speculation tax.

NDP MLA Grace Lore said: “The speculation tax might be unpopular with the speculators that Kevin Falcon and Ben Stewart spend time with, but people in my community support it because it has provided housing for thousands of people. Kevin Falcon is working for speculators and the top 1% and would make everyone else pay the price.”

New athletics track and artificial turf field open at South Surrey Athletic Park enhance this project at South Surrey Athletic Park.”

The project includes new track surfacing, a practice throwing cage, improved track and field facilities and the addition of a new turf field to the City’s growing inventory of sports amenities.

The City thanked the many partners who contributed to this project, including Tire Stewardship BC, Peace Arch Peninsula Rotary Club, Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, Corix Utilities, SurreyCares, and Ocean Athletics.

South Surrey Athletic Park is home to a variety of sports communities and hosts local, regional, provincial and international tournaments. Track and field facilities and artificial turf fields are central sports features to many of these user groups and members of the community, providing opportunities from casual active recreation to competitive play.

Later this summer, walking tracks at Newton Athletic Park and Kabaddi Park will be completed, and in the coming months, the new Bear Creek Stadium will break ground.

Representatives from Tire Stewardship BC, Peace Arch Peninsula Rotary Club, Peace Arch Hospital Foundation, Corix Utilities and Ocean Athletics joined Mayor Doug McCallum and councillors Linda Annis, Laurie Guerra, Doug Elford and Allison Patton to celebrate the opening.

Surrey RCMP seize drugs, cash and loaded handgun from Whalley residence

SURREY RCMP’s Community Response Unit’s investigation has lead to the seizure of drugs, cash and a loaded handgun from a residence in the Whalley area.

On June 3, the CRU executed a search warrant on a residence located in the 13700-block of Grosvenor Road. The residence was identified by officers who were conducting proactive enforcement in the North Surrey area.

The search warrant led to the discovery and seizure of the following: • A loaded prohibited semi-automatic rifle • Over $12,000 cash • 43.42 grams of suspected cocaine • 176.86 grams of suspected fentanyl • 203.03 grams of suspected methamphetamine • 220 grams of suspected psilocybin mushrooms • 38.45 grams of hydromorphone pills • 4.38 grams of mixed pills, and • 3,800 packs of illegal cigarettes.

A total of nine people were arrested inside the residence, identified and released pending further investigation.

“Actions of officers resulted in weapons, drugs, and contraband being removed from our streets, and a suspect facing multiple criminal charges in the future,” said Surrey RCMP Community Response Unit, Staff-Sgt. Nigel Pronger, on Wednesday. “This is an example of the team working within our North Surrey neighbourhoods to improve safety for everyone in our community.”

19-year-old man shot in Burnaby

BURNABY RCMP’s Investigative Support Team is investigating a late night shooting that has left a victim with non-life-threatening injuries Police received a report of a possible shooting incident in the area of 19 Avenue and Humphries Avenue at around 11:20 p.m. on Friday. Frontline officers located a 19-year-old man with what is believed to be a non-lifethreatening gunshot wound.

The man, who is not currently cooperating with the police investigation, was treated on scene before being transported to the hospital.

Witnesses reported that a dark-coloured vehi-

cle left the area before police arrived. A short time later, a similar vehicle was located on fire in North Burnaby.

If you have dash-cam video in the area between 11 p.m. and 12 midnight, you are requested to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-6469999.

At this time, investigators do not believe this incident is related to the Lower Mainland Gang Conflict.

“This type of event can be frightening for everyone,” said Cpl. Mike Kalanj. “However, we do not believe this targeted attack poses any further danger to the public.”

Photos: City of Surrey AS part on ongoing city beautification efforts, new street furniture was unveiled for the Newton community on June 11 during the inaugural Car Free Day event hosted by the Newton Business Improvement Association (BIA).

“Great streets should also be great places for people, which is why the city has been working alongside the Newton BIA on strategies and projects to improve public spaces of Newton Town Centre”, said Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum. “The new street furniture will make the historic Town Centre even more pedestrian friendly. The City is advancing the livability of our neighbourhoods with beautification programs that not only enhances public spaces, but also builds community spirit and civic pride along the way.”

In 2022, the Newton BIA funded the design and installation of approximately 30 pieces of street furniture at 14 different sites on 137 Street between 72 Avenue and 74 Avenue. 137 Street in Newton is a significant pedestrian-friendly street in heart of Newton’s commercial hub that is activated throughout the year with programming and events by the Newton BIA. The new street furniture offers a range of seating options that include benches, chairs, and above ground planters. The furniture is meant to beautify the street and create a welcoming space for residents and patrons of local businesses.

The Newton BIA is made up of business and property owners working together to revitalize the Newton Town Centre and improve business opportunities in the area. The Newton BIA works continually to advance important projects that contribute to a positive environment for business and people in downtown Newton.

“The Newton BIA is extremely proud of the work that has been done in creating vibrant public spaces for the community and businesses,” said Philip Aguirre, Executive Director of the Newton BIA. “The importance of collaboration is essential when trying to implement large projects.

We hope that we can build on our success and continue to improve the Newton

Despite massive opposition to new museum, Horgan and NDP comfortably ahead of Falcon and BC Liberals NEW data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds most British Columbians oppose the $789-million Royal BC Museum’s rebuild project (69%) while one-in-five support it (22%).

Presented with the five options the government reportedly explored for the museum, most (62%) would have proceeded with the status quo and not undertaken a rebuild of the famed museum in Victoria. One-in-five (18%) would have pursued the plan chosen by the government – building a new museum on-site, plus another facility off-site for artifacts at the cost of $789 million.

While the preservation of B.C.’s historical artifacts and displays resonates with some, the decision to proceed with the rebuild of the Royal BC Museum comes as many have criticized the lack of staffing in B.C. health care, and the skyrocketing cost of living in the province. Indeed, asked to identify their

top priorities, cost of living (61%), health care (47%), and housing affordability (43%) dominate.

The performance of the B.C. government on many of those issues is heavily criticized.

At least seven-in-ten say the government is performing poorly when it comes to each of these top three issues, with 87 per cent saying the NDP are doing a poor job on housing affordability, the highest mark in the country.

However, while Premier John Horgan has taken a personal hit, BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon has not received a countervailing boost. Currently one-in-four (23%) Brit-

ish Columbians view the opposition leader favourably, while one-in-three still have no opinion of him.

The political fallout from economic challenges and the unpopular Royal BC Museum funding decision may indeed be felt in the coming months, but the evidence thus far is that B.C. residents would still offer the NDP a considerable advantage if an election were held. An election is not scheduled to take place in the province until 2024.

Premier Horgan’s popularity keeps taking a hit: Angus Reid Institute poll WHILE some of Canada’s premiers approach the summer in a decidedly more “chill” place with their respective electorates, others are feeling the burn, according to Angus Reid Institute.

The latest data from the non-profit Angus

Reid Institute shows Nova Scotia’s Tim Houston holding the distinction of being Canada’s most approved-of premier, while simultaneously seeing goodwill towards him decline the most over the last three months. Last quarter, Houston’s

approval stood at 73 per cent. It’s since dropped 11 points, to 62 per cent.

Movement has trended downward for most of the rest of the premier pack, with notable drops for B.C.’s John Horgan and Quebec’s François Legault (seven and eight points respectively).

Two premiers see statistically insignificant increases in approval. If Doug Ford was hoping for a renewed honeymoon with Ontarians on the heels of a majority re-election, he’ll have to settle instead for a two-point bump. And outgoing Premier Jason Kenney is also given a two-point increase in approval by Albertans on his way out the door after a fractious political civil war within the ranks of the governing UCP saw him put to a leadership review that failed to provide enough of an endorsement to convince Kenney to carry on.

HORGAN’S approval continues a downward trend. Just under half of British Columbians approve of Horgan, the lowest approval measured for the BC NDP leader

since before the onset of the pandemic in 2020.

In addition to a growing debacle surrounding the near $1-billion plan to demolish and rebuild the Royal B.C. Museum, Horgan’s government was forced to defend a lack of funding for new school construction, a shortage of family doctors and overall being “out of touch” with regular British Columbians by opposition parties.

The problems – and more – keep piling up at the door of the premier’s office.

PUNJAB Police on Thursday said they have identified four shooters in famous singer Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder.

Police are carrying out raids to arrest the suspects who have been identified as Priyawarat of Sonepat, his associate Ankit, Manu Kusa of Moga and Jagroop Roopa of Amritsar, Indian media reported.

Moose Wala aka Shubhdeep Singh was gunned down by shooters in Jawaharke village of Mansa district on May 29 while he was driving in his vehicle. His neighbour Gurwinder Singh and cousin Gurpreet Singh were also in the vehicle and sustained injuries.

Police said that a fuel receipt, dated May 25, from a Fatehabad gas station in Haryana state was recovered from the Bolero car which was used in the crime and later found abandoned near Khayala village, 13 km from the scene of the crime. Police collected CCTV footage from the gas station the same day.

Police said that have identified one of the persons in the CCTV footage who is possibly a shooter.

He is Priyawarat of Sonepat.

Also, the ownership of the Bolero was traced with the help of engine number and chassis number, police said.

Police say they have recovered all the vehicles used in the crime: a Mahindra Bolero, a Toyota Corolla and a white Alto car. The suspects in the Toyota Corolla, which had got damaged, had carjacked a white Alto car at gunpoint. They then drove towards Khara Barnala village followed by the Bolero. The Alto was found abandoned at 3:30 a.m. on May 30 near Dharamkot in Moga district.

Bishnoi, who was brought on a production warrant from Delhi's Tihar Jail, the other nine arrested accused have been identified as Charanjit Singh alias Chetan of Ballram Nagar in Bathinda; Sandeep Singh alias Kekda of Sirsa, Haryana; Manpreet Singh alias Manna of Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda; Manpreet Bhau of Dhaipai, Faridkot; Saraj Mintu of village Dode Kalsia, Amritsar; Prabhdeep Sidhu alias Pabbi of TakhatMall, Haryana; Monu Dagar of village Rewli in Sonipat, Haryana; Pawan Bishnoi and Naseeb, both residents of Fatehabad, Haryana.

All have been arrested for hatching a conspiracy, providing logistic support, conducting recces and harbouring the shooters.

Police said the person on whose name an affidavit of purchase for the Corolla was recovered was not the actual owner but had given his ‘Aadhaar Card’ to Manpreet Manna, a gangster lodged in Ferozepur Jail, and allegedly linked to a Canada-based gangster, the Tribune newspaper of Chandigarh reported.

Manpreet Bhau, who was arrested from Chamoli in Uttarakhand state on May 30 on suspicion of using the Corolla, reportedly revealed during interrogation that he had delivered the car to two suspected shooters identified as Manu Kusa of Moga and Jagroop Singh alias Roopa of Amritsar on the directions of Manpreet Manna. He also revealed that the shooters were provided by Saraj Mintu, who is a close aide of a Canada-based gangster, and Sachin Thapan.

Prabhdeep Sidhu alias Pabbi, who was arrested on June 3, revealed in his interrogation that he had provided shelter to two associates of the Canada-based gangster. He said he helped the associates who had stayed with him to conduct a recce of Sidhu Moose Wala’s house. He had also visited the house and interacted with the security and checked the cameras, etc.

Another suspect, Monu Dagar, a close associate of the Canada-based gangster and Lawrence Bishnoi, was brought on a production

warrant. Dagar allegedly confessed to having arranged two shooters -identified as Priyawarat and Ankit, both residents of Sonipat -- on the directions of the Canada-based gangster.

He also disclosed that Pawan Bishnoi and Naseeb -- both residents of Fatehabad -- had procured the Bolero from Sadul Shaher and handed it over to the shooters through a person identified as Keshav of Bathinda.

He had also provided them a hideout.

Sandeep Kekda, who was arrested on June 6, revealed that his brother Bittu of Kalianwali along with Nikku Takhat Mal of Sirsa in Haryana had been keeping an eye on Moose Wala’s movements.

He revealed that on May 29, Bittu had told him to accompany Nikku on his motorcycle to visit Moose Wala’s house and pose as his fans.

He confessed that they took a selfie with the singer on Nikku’s mobile phone and the latter made a video call to Sachin Thapan to inform him that Moose Wala had left his house without security and was sitting on the driver’s seat in his black Thar Jeep.

Police said that the investigation so far has revealed that the arrested accused were acting on the directions of the Canada-based gangster and Lawrance Bishnoi, along with Sachin Thapan, Anmol Bishnoi and Vikram Brar (now in Dubai). These gangsters had brazenly claimed responsibility for Moose Wala’s murder through Facebook profiles.

Lawrence Bishnoi, the Canada-based gangster and others have been named as accused and conspirators in this case along with their gang members.

Bilawal Bhutto makes pitch for re-engagement with India

Islamabad (IANS): Describing Pakistan as “internationally isolated and disengaged”, the country’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday made a strong pitch for re-engagement with India, asking whether cutting off ties with India served the nation’s interests, media reports said.

“Does it serve our interests, do we achieve our objectives whatever they may be, be it Kashmir, be it rising Islamophobia, the Hindutva supremacist nature of the new re-

gimes and the governments in India? Does it serve our objective that we have practically cut off all engagements?” asked Zaradari while speaking at the Institute of Strategic Studies in Islamabad, Express Tribune reported.

There was some hope of rapprochement in February 2021 when the two countries renewed the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC). The truce is still holding, but the two sides could not agree on the next steps

to resume talks.

But with the change of government, there has been a renewed hope for some level of engagement. It is believed that some kind of “back channels” are active to find a way out of the current impasse.

Against this backdrop, the statement of Zardari indicates that there is an eagerness on the part of the current government to bring some shift, Express Tribune reported.

Appointment of Chief of Defence Staff will be made soon: Rajnath Singh

New Delhi: Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said that the appointment of Chief of Defence Staff will be made soon.

This comes six months after General Bipin Rawat, India’s first Chief of Defence Staff, died in a helicopter crash in December 2021.

Now the government has amended service rules of the armed forces, making all serving and recently retired three-star officers — Lt

General, Air Marshal and Vice Admiral — under the age of 62 eligible for the post of CDS, according to notifications brought out by the government.

The new rules mean that the recently retired chiefs of services will not be considered.

The amendments also indicate that an announcement on the new CDS is imminent.

The CDS is the most senior uniformed of-

ficer in rank, the first among equals — the only four-star officers in the country are the CDS, the chiefs of the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force.

But according to the new rules, all three-star and four-star officers from the three services, including those who retired in the last two years, will be eligible for consideration.

The government, however, has put an age

limit of 62 years. Since service chiefs retire at the age of 62, the three service chiefs who retired in quick succession since September 2021 are ruled out.

General Bipin Rawat, the first CDS, died in a helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu on December 8, 2021. Appointed on December 31, 2019, he was to have a three-year tenure until the end of this year.

Punjab Chief Minister says ‘Agnipath’ scheme insult to Army, loss for Punjab youth Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday demanded an immediate rollback of the Centre’s Agnipath scheme, calling it an insult to the Army and a

loss for the state’s youth.

“After stopping recruitment to the Army for two years, the Centre’s new diktat is that stay in the Army for four years and then don’t

the youth of the country,” he said demanding an immediate rollback of the decision.

According to an official statement, the chief minister alleged that the Centre is running the country “recklessly” without bothering about the youth.

After farmers, the move is a serious attack on the youth, he said apparently referring to the stir against the Centre’s now-withdrawn farm laws.

“It is a huge loss for the

Punjabi youth who are ever ready to serve their motherland by joining the Army,” he said.

“This mindless decision has put the country on boil as the youth have come on roads to protest against this irresponsible move of the centre,” Mann added.

Interacting with reporters during a roadshow ahead of the Sangrur Assembly polls, Mann said, “Forces cannot be kept on rent. How can you say that go for training when you are of 17 years of age and come back and retire at 21 and become exsoldiers at age 21.”

Mann said “politicians never retire” and if it’s a good scheme, then let “sons of BJP leaders join the Army and come back after four years”.

He said the country’s armed forces work under very chal-

lenging conditions in places like Jaisalmer and Ganganagar where temperatures soar to 50-55 degrees Celsius while we sleep peacefully with our families in airconditioned rooms.

“So, will you keep them on rent telling them come join for four years and you will be made ex-soldier in four years,” he asked.

The Centre on Tuesday unveiled the ambitious scheme for recruitment of the youth aged between 17 and a half and 21 in the Army, Navy and the Air Force, largely on a four-year short-term contractual basis.

The youth recruited under the scheme will be known as “Agniveers”. After the completion of the four-year tenure, 25 per cent of the recruits from each specific batch will be offered regular service.

Include UK, Canada in e-visa for tourism growth: Goa tourism association Panaji (IANS): Expressing concern over the low number of foreign tourists due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues, the Travel and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG) has urged Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to convince the Centre to issue e-visas to the citizens of the UK, Canada, Kyrgyzstan and other nations.

TTAG President Nilesh Shah told IANS that they have also raised the issue of harassment done to tourists by the Goa Police. “They should not be treated like criminals. If they violate the traffic signals, then with good talks it should be handled, not by harassing them,” he said.

Shah said that the next season will be fully dependent on the arrival of charter flights, which

should be encouraged.

“Goa’s tourism sector has suffered due to withdrawal of e-visa for travellers from the UK, Canda, Kyrgyzstan and other countries. We have requested the Chief Minister to take this matter to the Central government and find a solution over it,” Shah said.

According to Shah, mostly senior citizens from the UK visit Goa and hence they find it difficult to apply for a regular paper visa at the Indian embassy, which involves additional cost of travelling and other expenses.

“That is why we have requested to include the UK in the e-visa service. This will help tourism in Goa,” he said.

Shah said that before the Covid pandemic, around 40 to 50 thousand UK nationals used to travel Goa by charter flights, also there was a good number of tourists coming by scheduled flights. “35 to 45 per cent of tourists we get from Russia,” he said.

“During Covid pandemic some travel companies had shut their operations, now few are interested in ventures. Hence, we hope that in the coming season we will get tourists from the UK and Russia,” he said, adding that repeat tourists from both these places travel to Goa. “Apart from this, the industry is facing online frauds while booking the hotels. Fraudsters have developed the websites of hotels and on

the pretext of providing rooms in the hotel they cheat tourists. Government should take action on such fraud practices, so the tourist is not looted before landing in Goa,” he said, adding TTAG had complained to the Goa Police in this regard.

He also said that Mopa airport will help the tourism sector as air traffic at Dabolim airport was limited. “Now travellers can come directly to Goa through scheduled flights once the services are in place,” Shah said.

He said along with good connectivity of bus transport service, Taxi meter implementation should take place so the tourist can travel paying a reasonable fare.

17 Opposition parties to field a candidate for Presidential poll

New Delhi: Gearing up for the upcoming Presidential elections, 17 Opposition parties attended a meeting hosted by West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress president Mamata Banerjee in New Delhi on Wednesday. At the end of the 90-minute meeting, the parties came up with a statement expressing their intent to field a common candidate, but no name was finalised.

The Trinamool had sent invites to 22 leaders - including eight Chief Ministers (Arvind Kejriwal, Pinarayi Vijayan, Naveen Patnaik, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, M.K. Stalin, Uddhav Thackeray, Hemant Soren and Bhagwant Mann). Leaders representing 17 political parties attended the meeting. The key absentees included the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).

The AAP, according to sources, has said it will wait and see whose name emerges and then decide. The TRS remains non-committal.

While there was consensus on NCP patriarch Sharad Pawar’s name, he declined the offer. Names of former West Bengal Governor Gopal Krishna Gandhi and former Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah are in contention as the Opposition’s candidate. The next meeting, hosted

by Pawar, will be held on June 20 in

MEANWHILE, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J.P. Nadda on Wednesday began the consultation process, on behalf of the NDA, for the upcoming polls for electing the new President of India, by dialling key Opposition leaders, NDA allies and neutral parties such as the Biju Janata Dal (BJD). Singh and Nadda had been empowered by the BJP to undertake this process of consultation, even as 17 Opposition parties held a meeting to arrive at a common candidate to be fielded by them for the polls.

Among the leaders whom Singh spoke to include Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav. Among NDA allies, Singh spoke to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He also spoke to Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, whose party the BJD is equidistant from both the NDA and the UPA, but who is expected to go with the NDA on the presidential polls.

Singh is also in touch with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, and is expected to reach out

to Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar and former Prime Minister and Janata Dal (S) leader H.D. Deve Gowda and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader O. Panneerselvam.

Sources said the opposition leaders asked Singh about the BJP-led NDA’s nominee for the presidential election, when he put a question on whether the opposition had any suggestions to offer. “Our response was that the NDA should share its ideas over who they thought would be the ruling alliance’s candidate,” said a source.

Nadda is also in touch with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), the National People’s Party (NPP), the National Conference (NC), the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), and the Nagaland People’s Front (NPF).

During the meeting convened by Banerjee, at least two more names emerged — NC supremo Farooq Abdullah and Gopalkrishna Gandhi, after Pawar declined to be a candidate.

The election for the President will be held on July 18, while the nomination process began from Wednesday. Incumbent Ram Nath Kovind’s term ends on July 24.

Moose Wala killing: Punjab Police get seven-day custody of Bishnoi

Chandigarh (IANS): A trial court in Punjab on Wednesday morning remanded gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, accused in the killing of Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh, popularly known as Sidhu Moose Wala, to police custody till June 22.

Bishnoi, who was brought from New Delhi after procuring the transit remand from Patiala House court, was produced in a Mansa court in Punjab at around 4 a.m. amid high-level security after his medical check-up.

After securing the police remand, he

was shifted to the Crime Investigating Agency (CIA) headquarters in Mohali, near here, for interrogation.

A day earlier, the Patiala House Court in Delhi allowed Punjab Police to take Bishnoi to Mansa court.

Punjab Police brought Bishnoi to Punjab from Delhi in a bulletproof car that was escorted by more than 50 police personnel.

The police have termed him as the mastermind behind the plot to kill Moose Wala.

Some of the accused arrested by

Punjab Police have revealed the name of Bishnoi as the main culprit who hired them to execute the killers.

In a major breakthrough, the police on June 14 arrested two members of the Lawrance Bishnoi gang.

Senior Superintendent of Police (Mohali) Vivek Sheel Soni said the two accused — Gagandeep Singh alias Gaagi and Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi — are residents of Dabbwali in Sirsa district of Haryana.

He said the duo was in regular

touch with a Canada-based person through gangster Manpreet Singh alias Manna, who provided the Toyota Corolla car to the assailants for killing Moose Wala.

Recently, Manpreet Singh was arrested in the murder case of Moose Wala.

Both the arrested accused were working on the directions of the Canada-based man and smuggled illegal weapons from the border area of Punjab and Rajasthan and delivered it to the shooters.

Punjabi version of English series on Guru Nanak Dev’s travels released Chandigarh (IANS): The Punjabi version of the English series on the iconic travels of Guru Nanak Dev across the distant lands of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Tibet, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka was released here on Wednesday by Singaporebased couple Amardeep Singh and Vininder Kaur.

To carry forward the legacy of Guru Nanak Dev, the couple took the road less travelled and created the Punjabi docuseries, which chronicles the vast expanse of multi-faith sites visited by Guru Nanak Dev for spiritual dialogues.

The series is freely available on https://thegurunanak.com The English version of this docuseries was released in September 2021 under the title “Allegory, A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels”.

This 24-episode docuseries is a joint production of Lost Heritage

Productions, a Singapore-based production house and Sikh Lens Productions, a US-based non-profit organization.

It has been filmed in over 150 multi-faith sites in nine countries where Guru Nanak Dev had travelled in the 15th century during a 22-year-long spiritual quest.

“In a world that is so fragile and volatile, there has never been a bet-

ter time to understand why Guru Nanak Dev travelled for 22 years to share his experiential wisdom and propagate the oneness of humankind,” said Amardeep Singh.

“Over 260 verses of Guru Nanak Dev rendered in the Raags to invoke critical thinking is the foundation of this docuseries. In addition, narratives of 14 saints from across the sub-continent, contemporaries

and predecessors of Guru Nanak Dev, whose verses are enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib have been presented in the docuseries,” said Vininder Kaur.

Aided by the analytical study of the oldest ‘Janamsakhis’ (biographies of Guru Nanak Dev) and supported by the allegoric messages in Guru Nanak Dev’s verses, the team spent over three years in research and filming all multi-faith sites in the lands visited by Guru Nanak Dev. Thereafter, it has taken them over two years to edit the data to create the 24-episode docuseries.

For Amardeep and Vininder, every moment in Guru Nanak Dev’s footsteps has been philosophically liberating. It encouraged them to challenge their own conditioning, unlearn, re-learn and assimilate the beauty of unity in diversity.

“We are seeking community sup-

port for this non-commercial endeavour to also produce the Hindi, Shahmukhi and Urdu versions of the docuseries. We would love to collaborate with like-minded people to spread the message of positivity and harmony across the globe,” Amardeep added.

While providing a sneak-peek into their illustrious expedition, Amardeep added, “We travelled from the deserts of Mecca in Saudi Arabia to Mount Kailash in Tibet, explored remote regions of perilous Afghanistan, experienced the scorching heat in Iraq, scaled the arid Baluchi mountains in Pakistan, and sailed across the waters of the Indian Ocean to disembark in Sri Lanka.

“Not only this, but we also blended with the Persian culture in Iran, crossed the delta region in Bangladesh and mapped all the four directions in India.”

Himachal High Court’s acting Chief Justice’s daughter held on murder charge

Chandigarh (IANS): The CBI on Wednesday arrested Kalyani Singh, daughter of Himachal Pradesh High Court acting Chief Justice Sabina, in connection with the murder of nationallevel shooter Sukhmanpreet Singh, a.k.a. Sippy Sidhu, in Chandigarh in September 2015.

In January 2016, the case was transferred to the CBI, after which the investigating agency registered a fresh murder case.

Advocate Sippy, 36, was shot dead on Sep-

tember 20, 2015, in a park in Sector 27. A .12 bore gun was used in the crime and four bullets were fired from it.

Chandigarh Police had registered a case of murder and recorded the statements of various suspects, including the judge’s daughter, who is believed to be a close friend of the victim, though it failed to make any headway.

She was questioned twice by the police. Sidhu’s family had held protests alleging that she

was being shielded by the police.

In December 2020, the CBI had informed the court that it has no evidence of the involvement of a former Punjab and Haryana high court judge’s daughter in the crime. However, it said it would keep investigations open as it has “strong suspicions about the role of a woman to eliminate Sippy.”

Sippy was a rifle shooter and had won the team gold along with Abhinav Bindra in the

Punjab National Games in 2001.

He had been on the shooting circuit for more than 15 years and won medals regularly at various shooting competitions. He was also a joint secretary of the Paralympic Committee of India.

On January 22, 2016, Chandigarh Administrator Kaptan Singh Solanki had transferred the case to the CBI, which questioned the investigating officer and other police personnel.

Indian police arrest an alleged shooter from Gujarat in murder of singer Moose Wale

Pune (Maharashtra): The Pune Police have arrested an alleged shooter and his aide in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala from the neighbouring state of Gujarat, according to Indian media.

Moosewala, 28, was shot dead on May 29 while he was driving his Mahindra Thar SUV. About a dozen assailants fired numerous shots at him. The Brampton-based singer’s autopsy report revealed that his body bore 19 bullet injury marks.

The alleged shooter, Santosh Jadhav, 24, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang that is allegedly responsible for Moose Wala’s murder, and his aide Navnath Suryavanshi, 27, were arrested on Sunday from Bhuj in Gujarat by a team of Pune rural police, according to Additional Director General (Law and Order) Kulwant Singh Sarangal.

He said Jadhav was apprehended in connection to a 2021 murder case registered in Pune

Sidhu Moose Wala district. He had been on the run for a year and had shaved his head and changed his appearance to avoid arrest.

(Earlier, it had been reported that the Special Cell of Delhi Police had identified two shoot-

ers from Maharashtra that were involved in Moose Wala’s murder. Their identities were revealed during the interrogation of their close aide, Sidhesh Hiraman Kamble a.k.a.

Mahakal, who was arrested from Pune during a joint operation by the Delhi Police and the Maharashtra Police.)

A Pune rural police team has also gone to Delhi to interrogate Bishnoi, who is in the Delhi Police special cell custody and is said to be the mastermind behind the killing of Moose Wala, Sarangal said. The names of Jadhav and Suryavanshi had cropped up in the murder probe.

Multiple police teams, including those from Delhi and Punjab, were searching from them.

Sarangal said Jadhav, Suryavanshi and Mahakal are associated with the Bishnoi gang and are suspected to have a role in the Moosewala murder case. Police are trying to figure out their exact roles.

Suryavanshi is from Satara district in Maha-

rashtra, but his father is settled in Gujarat.

Suryavanshi is accused of giving shelter to Jadhav.

“Both the accused have been arrested. They were produced before a court which remanded them to police custody till June 20,” Sarangal said.

Mahakal was arrested in a MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act) case registered against him at the Manchar police station in Pune. He was also interrogated by the Delhi Police’s special cell and Punjab Police in connection with the Moose Wala murder case.

Mahakal has also been interrogated by Mumbai Police in connection with a threat letter to scriptwriter Salim Khan and his son Salman Khan, Bollywood superstar.

Sarangal said Mahakal had knowledge about the threat letter given to Salim Khan, adding: “We are probing the case from all angles.”

‘You’ll meet the same end as Moosewala’, extortionists threaten Ludhiana bizman

New Delhi (IANS): Delhi Police have arrested two persons for allegedly threatening a Ludhiana-based businessman in the names of gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, an official said on Wednesday.

The arrested persons have been identified as S. Singh (29) and A.A. Khan (24), both residents of Chhattisgarh.

Furnishing the details, K.P.S. Malhotra, DCP, IFSO, Special Cell, said that on June 12, the

cyber police station of Ludhiana contacted the IFSO unit and sought help in tracing the accused persons.

The case was registered based on a complaint filed by a Ludhiana-based businessman, who alleged that he had been receiving threat calls from some unknown international and Indian phone numbers since June 4.

“The callers, who identified themselves to be from the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi and

Goldy Brar gangs, threatened him to pay a ransom of Rs 10 lakh [Rs 1 million]. They also threatened him that in case he fails to pay the amount, he will meet the same fate as slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala,” the DCP said.

The Punjab Police informed Delhi Police that the location of one of the phone numbers was traced to Delhi, and that the accused were changing their locations frequently.

Acting on the tip-off, Delhi Police followed the leads obtained through technical surveillance and digital footprints.

The user of the said mobile number was traced to Sector 22 in Gurugram from where he was subsequently apprehended along with another accused.

The duo was produced before a local court which handed over their custody to Punjab Police.

Mann, Kejriwal flag off bus service for international travellers

Jalandhar (IANS): Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday jointly flagged off the Volvo bus service to the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in New Delhi from here.

“This is a historic occasion when the Punjab government has fulfilled its promise with the people by ending monopoly of the private transporters and introducing cheap and luxury travel to IGI airport in merely Rs 1,170 thereby stopping loot of people,” said Mann while addressing the gathering.

The Chief Minister said daily seven Volvo buses would ply from the Jalandhar bus stand to the Delhi airport. Likewise, he said similar buses will also move from Amrit-

sar, Pathankot, Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala, Patiala and even from Chandigarh daily to the airport for facilitating the passengers.

Mann said with the plying of these buses, passengers will get a comfortable, luxurious and cheap travel to airport at a meagre price.

The Chief Minister said the passengers desirous of going to airport can get the online booking done prior to three months of travel whereas the tickets can be booked at the counters of bus stand six months ahead of the journey.

Squarely blaming the successive Congress and Akali governments for not plying government buses to the airport, he said vested interests of these leaders prohibited them from

doing so.

Mann said the transporter leaders of both these parties minted the money illegally by not allowing government buses to operate on this route.

Mann also thanked the Delhi government, especially his counterpart, for extending cooperation to them for this noble cause.

In his address, Kejriwal vowed to make Punjab a gangster-free land. He said gangster culture was nurtured by the Akalis and Congress who openly patronised these criminals. He said now when patronisations of these gangsters have ended they will be soon behind the bars.

He said it was a significant day for Punjab as the Volvo buses started departing to the IGI Airport. He said this facility would be smooth-

Ų

er and beneficial especially for the Punjabi diaspora.

He said the AAP’s government is an honest one, which has been working in a transparent manner, paving a way for implementation of pro-people initiatives.

Kejriwal said the AAP government had strongly and squarely hit the corruption in the state to wipe out this menace for the welfare of people. There was a rare example of honest government in the country as the AAP government had put its own minister behind the bars on the charges of graft.

He said the AAP government had also waged a war against transfer and transport mafia so that people could not be harassed for the works in offices.

Toyota Canada Foundation Announces $1 Million Re-Investment in Actua OTTAWA, ONTARIO: The Toyota Canada Foundation announced continued support of Actua through an additional $1 million dollar investment over four years.

Toyota Canada Foundation’s donation will support the engagement of youth from underserved communities across Canada and the launch of Actua’s new National Black Youth in STEM program.

“Toyota Canada Foundation is thrilled to announce an additional investment of $1 million dollars to support Actua programs engaging more girls and young women, Indigenous and Black youth, and youth living with disabilities in STEM,” says Leslie Miller, Treasurer, Toyota Canada Foundation. “Since 2017, we’ve been proud to help Actua reach segments of the Canadian population underrepresented in STEM, and we’re looking forward to extending our funding to support their important work over the next several years.”

“We are incredibly grateful for Toyota Canada Foundation’s significant re-investment,” says Jennifer Flanagan, CEO, Actua. “The pandemic has exposed and amplified a magnitude of pre-existing inequalities preventing youth from accessing and pursuing STEM education and skilldevelopment opportunities here in Canada. Toyota Canada MARKHAM, ON: Honda will introduce all-new CR-V this year, followed by Accord Hybrid Civic Hybrid will be added to the Honda lineup in the future Hybridelectric vehicles are a critical pathway in Honda’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through electrification As the next step in Honda’s electrification strategy in North America, the company will focus on increasing hybrid volume of core models - CR-V, Accord and, in the future, Civic.

Honda will introduce an allnew CR-V Hybrid this year with an all-new Accord Hybrid to follow, these hybrid offerings will eventually represent more than 50 percent of the sales mix of each model. Hybrid powerplants will be included in the top and best performing models in the Honda lineup.

These programs create safe and inclusive learning environments that ensure all youth can benefit from and feel a sense of belonging in STEM regardless of their race, ethnicity, sex, gender, ability, geography, and socioeconomic status. The funding will also support Actua’s programs focused on inclusion and access for youth living with disabilities and the development of a new program designed to pave the way for Black youth in STEM. These initiatives will create relevant and engaging learning spaces that reflect youths’ lived experiences and connect them with role models and peers.

Actua is Canada’s largest science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) youth outreach network representing over 40 university and college based members.

Each year, Actua’s growing network of member organizations reach over 350,000 young Canadians in 500 communities nationwide.

“Our recent investment of $1.38 billion to upgrade our Honda of Canada Mfg. (HCM) facilities in preparation for our electrified future is another step to realizing these goals as HCM will be the North American lead plant for building the all-new, 2023 CR-V Hybrid.”

Honda sales of electrified vehicles in Canada are expected to increase with more of our core and popular models available with hybrid power, including the all-new CR-V, Accord and Civic.

More information about the future Civic Hybrid, including timing and manufacturing details, will be available closer to the model’s launch.

In April 2021, Honda global CEO Toshihiro Mibe outlined the company’s vision for global sales of electrified vehicles as part of Honda’s strategy to achieve car-

bon-neutrality for its products and corporate activities by 2050.

This vision calls for 40 percent of North American sales to be battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles by 2030, increasing to 80 percent by 2035, and to 100 percent by 2040. More details about that announcement are available here. Honda has also recently announced additional electrification advancements towards achieving this zero-emissions future.

Honda will introduce the Prologue SUV in 2024, its first new volume battery-electric vehicle (BEV). Co-developed with GM and based on the Ultium platform. Honda then will introduce a series of electrified vehicles starting in 2026 based on its own Honda e:Architecture, with production of BEVs at Honda plants in North America. Honda will deploy 30 EV models by 2030, with more than 2/3 of those launched in China and North America.

Saturday, June 18, 2022 | Indo-Canadian Voice Main For off-roaders looking to go further off the grid, Ford today is debuting the new 2022 Ford Bronco® Everglades™ special edition – an SUV born to breathe when the air gets thick and designed to press on when the trail turns others around.

Bronco Everglades introduces a class-exclusive* signature snorkel. Designed and engineered by Ford, the snorkel – which runs up the passenger-side A-pillar – optimizes vehicle performance in dust, snow and water by raising the engine air intake above nasty trail conditions. Its design uses two easy-toswap plates to change the direction of the inlet based on trail and weather conditions.

Front and rear axles, transfer case and transmission also offer raised vents for improved water fording. Combined, these design changes lead to water fording capability of 36.4 inches.

For situations when Bronco Everglades or another vehicle needs extra traction beyond what the tires and engine can provide, a heavy-duty modular front bumper by Ford Performance with ZEON 10-S WARN® winch – featuring 10,000-pound capability† and a

Special-Edition Ford Bronco Everglades 100-foot synthetic line – is ready to help. Everglades also comes standard with a protective safari bar, rock rails and the same steel bash plates found on Black Diamond™ and Badlands™ Bronco models. A unique Carbonized Gray grille with gloss black Bronco lettering enhances its functional appearance.

The Sasquatch Package features 17-inch

Carbonized Gray-painted alloy wheels with 35-inch Goodyear mud-terrain tires. Additional exterior appointments include rock rails to protect the lower sills, plus a molded-in-colour hardtop and roof rack with crossbars.

The Bronco design team took advantage of the SUV’s patented off-road modular

design in creating the Everglades edition, further underscoring how this user-friendly platform can be stripped to its base structure and reconfigured for another new adventure with a different body setup.

The vehicle features unique squared front and rear wheel arches with matching Sasquatch-width fender flares.

Unique graphics with Everglades topography deliver style on the front quarter fenders, cleverly paying homage to the tropical wetlands that inspire the vehicle’s name.

In addition to mid-package content, Bronco Everglades features a class-exclusive 12inch SYNC® 4 system with Ford Power-Up over-the-air software updates – a unique combination based on customer feedback.

Its 2.3-litre EcoBoost® delivers 300 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque†, the most torque from a four-cylinder gas engine in its class, and is paired to a class-exclusive SelectShift® 10-speed automatic transmission with advanced 4x4 system and a maximum 67.8:1 crawl ratio.

Bronco Everglades will join the Bronco lineup of Built Wild™ 4x4 SUVs this summer.

Play it again, Sam. Watch a unique American Art form capture the soul of a city ( and nation) in the inspirational Jazz Story: A New Orleans City. Made with lots of heart here is a great documentary showing the effects of music on a community that would go on to become a juggernaut for hope and redemption. Fans of music and life itself should seek out this poignant Mongrel Media release now playing at the VIFF Film Centre in downtown Vancouver. Go to VIFF.org for showtimes and to book tickets, Music makes the world go round. How true it is. Known far and wide as a tremendous music festival Jazz Fest shows how the dream of one New York man named George Wein would go on, over time, to take on the world. Known officially as The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival this documentary is full of vintage interviews and footage that explores what jazz is all about and in particular it’s roots in New Orleans. Think Woodstock down in the Bayou and you get the picture.

You have to get your start somewhere and Jazz Fest gets up close and personal with scores of musicians and performers who got their start at this one of a kind musical event. Names like Jimmy Buffet and Earth Wind and Fire happen to be just two acts in a slew of groundbreaking talents who rose to fame thanks to this festival that no one at the time gave half a chance to succeed. Well indeed it did.

Get set to learn about all sorts of local music including Gospel and Cajun that were welcomed at this shrine of hope from the very start. Amazing footage of the creation of this event from scratch back in 1972 to its rebirth after the devastating Hurricane Ka-

Ease arthritis pain naturally

“WHY shoot a mouse with an elephant gun?”

It’s a good question to ask those suffering from osteoarthritis (the wear-and-tear type of arthritis). Why is it that so many of these people have never been advised to try natural approaches before using strong drugs which can cause major side effects and complications?

Vitamin C This vitamin is the most overlooked natural remedy in treating aging joints. Vitamin C is needed to produce healthy collagen, a vital component of cartilage. Deteriorated cartilage leads to bones grinding against one another causing pain. Researchers at Boston University Medical Center studied the vitamin C intake of 640 people. They discovered that those with a higher intake of vitamin C were protected against progression of osteoarthritis of the knee and slowed development of knee pain.

Remember, animals make vitamin C and humans do not. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel prize winner, knew that humans receive more than enough C in the food they eat to prevent scurvy. But diet alone does not offer near enough vitamin C to prevent arthritis and coronary attack. Pauling took 20,000 milligrams (mg) daily. The recommended daily dose is 75 mg. If you decide to take high doses of vitamin C, you might experience diarrhea, in which case dial back the dosage. But your cardiovascular system and aging joints will thank you for a generous daily supply.

Exercise If you don’t use your joints, you lose them.

Exercise gets the heart going, and this is the pumping mechanism that pushes vitamin C and other nutrients into joints to nourish cartilage. It is under-use and poor maintenance, not just over-use, that causes so many people need hip and knee replacements.

Diet A sound diet is powerful therapy for any condition and arthritis is no exception. Studies show that a mostly vegetarian diet has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect in improving joint pain. Patients with arthritis should concentrate on complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes and fruits.

Fish oils contain omega-3 essential fatty acids, high in EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which have been shown to reduce morning stiffness and swollen joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease. They help ease arthritis pain by decreasing the production of prostaglandins, molecules made at sites of tissue damage or infection that control processes such as inflammation, which in turn causes pain. Take supplements if you are not getting enough fish oil in your daily diet.

Boswellia Turn to herbal extracts used for centuries in Asia and Africa to treat pain. Boswellia, also known as Indian frankincense, is obtained from the Boswellia serrata tree. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory compound that in recent years has been attracting significant attention.

Boswellia has undergone human trials for knee pain and can be used in the prevention and treatment of diverse chronic diseases. It is devoid of toxicities. Look in natural health food stores for Casperome®, a new form of Boswellia better absorbed by the body. Faster absorption also means faster pain relief.

Natural approaches to treating arthritis are

safe and effective. But in North America every year, 26,000 people die from gastrointestinal bleeding due to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil (ibuprofen) Naproxen and others. Casperome® has been used safely and effectively together with NSAIDs, helping patients reduce the amount of NSAIDs needed to block pain.

Natural remedies can also have side-effects.

After all it was hemlock that killed Socrates!

But pound for pound, they are much safer than prescription drugs and it is logical to try them first.
