Amidst tensions between India and Canada over the murder plot of a pro-Khalistan activist, opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has stated that any foreign interference in Canadian affairs, including from India, is unacceptable and must be stopped. This follows the revelation by the RCMP that agents of the Indian government were involved in orchestrating criminal activity against members of the South Asian community, including Nijjar's murder. Poilievre also urged for a strong response from the Canadian government in the form of full criminal prosecution of those involved.
West Shore RCMP is warning the public to be cautious of fraudsters who are asking for money and offering fake jewelry in return.
