INDIAN FAMILY DEPORTED FROM CANADA AFTER 8 YEARS

An Indian family led by Harish Kumar has reportedly been deported from Canada after nearly 8 years in Quebec, following the rejection of their refugee claim and a subsequent humanitarian and compassionate application.

📊 India is now one of the biggest sources of refugee claims in Canada. Government data shows that only around 25% of Indian refugee claims were accepted during 2025–26 through Q3, compared with 63% across all countries.

Some reports suggests India accounts for a large share of questionable or potentially fraudulent refugee claims in Canada, with the issue increasingly under scrutiny as thousands of cases remain pending.

🇮🇳➡️🇨🇦 Canada’s refugee system is facing growing questions over the number and validity of claims coming from India.

What do you think should Canada tighten its refugee screening process?

TRUMP VS CARNEY: CANADA’S TRADE FUTURE TAKES A NEW TURN

Donald Trump has suggested that Canada will eventually return to the United States and accept Washington’s trade terms.

But Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is signaling a different direction — reducing Canada’s dependence on a single market and expanding trade relationships with Europe, India, China and other global markets.

🇨🇦 Canada and the U.S. remain deeply connected economically, but Ottawa is increasingly focusing on trade diversification, new international partnerships and greater economic resilience.

Trump says Canada will come back. Carney says Canada is looking beyond one market.

The question is: Will Canada remain heavily dependent on its southern neighbour, or successfully build a more diversified global trade network?

According to Bloomberg, the speed has been remarkable. Two weeks after Mark Carney's investment summit in Toronto, Shell-led investors formally approved doubling LNG Canada — a C$33 billion expansion. By Thursday, Carney was in Fort McMurray expediting approval for a new west-coast oil pipeline, with construction targeted for September 2027.

Stéfane Marion, chief economist at National Bank of Canada, told Bloomberg's Canadian Finance Conference in New York: "I'm the most optimistic I've been on growth prospects in Canada in over a decade because I think we're writing a new chapter on business investment."

Then he named the problem.

"You're putting a lot of pressure on your construction sector and that could be inflationary."

He was not alone. Ian Edwards, CEO of AtkinsRéalis: "Human capacity is going to be one of the real keys here." His company has almost tripled its nuclear workforce and still expects demand to outrun supply. Susan Reisbord, incoming CEO of Stantec: "With so many projects online or potentially online, it's about phasing them so that you don't create more labor shortages."

Two chief executives of Canada's largest engineering firms, at the same conference, saying the same thing: the constraint is no longer capital or permits. It is people.

The numbers back them. There were 98,600 job vacancies in trades, transport and equipment operator occupations in the second quarter — up 6.6 per cent on a year earlier. More than 70 per cent of businesses in construction, mining, quarrying, oil and gas have reported trouble hiring skilled workers, according to a government briefing note from March.

And the demand is only now arriving. LNG Canada Phase 2 alone will need more than 4,000 construction workers. TC Energy said this week it plans to nearly double the capacity of its Coastal GasLink pipeline following Shell's decision — another 2,100 at peak construction. Pacific Link, designated Thursday, is projected at up to 140,000 jobs across construction and operation.

Ottawa has seen this coming. The spring economic update committed up to C$6 billion over five years to recruit, train and hire 80,000 to 100,000 new skilled trades workers.

Training a journeyman takes four years. The pipeline needs people in September 2027.

Canada has spent a decade being told it cannot get anything built. It is about to find out whether that was ever really about the permits.

France is a tinderbox. Here’s what is fueling it.
Watch the video. Students in the streets. Riot police. Fires. Tear gas. And, in some of the footage, Hamas flags.
But this didn’t start with Gaza.
It started with French students furious about overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages and deteriorating schools. Now more than 1,000 high schools have been affected, hundreds have closed and roughly 2,000 people have been arrested as protests spread across France. (Reuters⁠)
Underneath it is a much bigger problem.
France is broke by European standards. Government debt is expected to hit 119.3% of GDP this year and 121.7% next year. The government has just introduced another austerity-style budget — spending restraint and tax increases — because investors are increasingly worried about French debt. (Reuters⁠)
Then add the politics.
A deeply divided parliament.
A presidential election six months away.
The far left and far right fighting for the future of the country.
Teachers now being called into strikes.
Anger over public services.
Violence and accusations of excessive policing.
And other political movements are beginning to attach themselves to the chaos — which is why seeing Hamas flags in this footage matters. It doesn’t mean these protests are “Hamas protests.” It means an already angry country is becoming a gathering point for much broader political grievances.
That’s what a tinderbox looks like.
France didn’t get here overnight. And what happens next is worth watching very closely.

At a White House event on Wednesday, Donald Trump announced that South Korea would invest $54 billion in the Alaska LNG project.

On Thursday, South Korea's Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan went on television to correct him. "What the Korean government agreed with the US is that the Alaska project will proceed only if it is commercially viable," he said. Seoul had told Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick of its regret "that what was reported today went beyond what had been agreed."

Kim was precise about the scope of the commitment: Korea's agreement on Alaska LNG is limited to provisions contained in a joint fact sheet. The project would proceed only subject to commercial viability requirements under the two countries' investment deal and to South Korean domestic legal procedures — with the United States taking steps to improve its economic prospects. If Korea does take part, Washington has agreed to supply LNG at favourable prices.

That commercial viability test was not an afterthought. It was a central issue in the negotiations over how Seoul's $350 billion American investment pledge would actually operate, and Korea insisted on it precisely so that money could not be deployed into projects that do not stand up. The $54 billion sits inside a $200 billion commitment to American energy projects; another $150 billion is earmarked for US shipbuilding.

Alaska LNG is the reason that test exists. The venture has been trying for decades to secure the binding long-term contracts and investment it needs. It requires an 800-mile pipeline — 1,287 kilometres — to be built across the state. What it has managed to sign are non-binding sales agreements with companies in South Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

Non-binding is the operative word, and it is the same word that separates Wednesday's announcement from Thursday's correction.

Now the part worth noticing. On 29 September — the day before Trump's announcement — the partners in LNG Canada approved a $23 billion expansion that will double the Kitimat plant's capacity from 14 to 28 million tonnes a year. Korea Gas holds a 5 per cent stake in that project, worth roughly $1.26 billion.

These are separate decisions, taken by different entities, and nobody in Seoul has framed one as a choice against the other.

But the shape of the week is hard to miss. Within three days, Korean capital committed to doubling an LNG plant in British Columbia that has been operating since last year — and Korea's government publicly declined to confirm it had committed anything to a project in Alaska that has not yet laid a metre of pipe.

One of those plants is shipping gas. The other needs 800 miles of steel first.
