Speaking before Justice Marie-Josee Hogue’s Public Inquiry into Foreign Intervention in Federal Election Processes and Democratic Institutions, Justin Trudeau provided testimony on Wednesday.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has questioned the assertion by the country’s spy agency that China “clandestinely and deceptively” conducted foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 Federal elections in Canada.

Trudeau appeared on Wednesday before the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in Federal Electoral Processes and Democratic Institutions, which is headed by Justice Marie-Josee Hogue.

Trudeau said, “What I am saying, you have to take this intelligence, you have to take this information, with a certain awareness that it still needs to be confirmed or it might not be 100-per-cent accurate.”

Those allegations were contained in a briefing note from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service or CSIS, provided to the Prime Minister’s Office in February 2023. That document, titled Briefing to the Prime Minister’s Office on Foreign Interference Threats to Canada’s Democratic Institutions, said, “We know that the PRC clandestinely and deceptively interfered both in the 2019 and 2021 general elections.” PRC refers to the People’s Republic of China.

The target was the principal opposition Conservative Party and its then leader Erin O’Toole, who adopted a platform that was sharply critical of Beijing. “In 2021, the PRC FI was almost certainly motivated by a perception that the Conservative Party of Canada was promoted on a platform that was perceived to be anti-PRC,” the CSIS note stated.

Earlier, O’Toole had testified before the Inquiry they won fewer seats than what was expected, down from the 127 modelled to the outcome of 199 in the 2021 Federal elections. Though, he said, that would not change the ultimate result of the election, with the ruling Liberal Party returning to power and Trudeau heading another minority Government, he estimated that “suppression” could have led to a loss of between five and nine seats. “I think a lot of people didn’t vote because they were intimidated,” he had said.

Justin Trudeau of Canada on the murder of Nijjar; charges that the previous government was “cozy” with India!

According to Prime Minister Justine Trudeau of Canada, his government has consistently supported minorities’ rights to free speech and participation in Canada.

After claiming that his government defended Canadians, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada has escalated the death of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. In testimony given at a public inquiry into foreign meddling in Canada’s election process, Justin Trudeau stated that his administration was steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding citizens.

In a hearing presided over by French judge Marie-Josee Hogue, the foreign interference committee, Justin Trudeau accused the nation’s former Conservative government of being “cozy” with the present Indian leadership.

Although the results of the last two Canadian elections were unaffected by Chinese attempts to interfere, Justin Trudeau asserted that it was “improbable” that Beijing favored one party over another.

In oathed evidence before a panel holding a public investigation into purported foreign meddling in the Canadian elections of 2019 and 2021, Justin Trudeau addressed inquiries concerning intelligence briefings he had been provided and maintained that the elections were “free and fair.”

Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reporting on China’s potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the panel last year.

What did Justin Trudeau say?

  • Asked about foreign interference during the 2019 elections and redacted parts in the 2019 annual report of the NSI, Justin Trudeau said, “In a public setting, I can’t speak to redactions made for national security. But, I will say that the principle that anyone who comes to Canada from anywhere in the world has all the rights of a Canadian to be free from extortion, coercion, and interference from a country that they left behind and how we have stood up for Canadians, including in the very serious case that I brought forward to Parliament of the killing of (Hardeep Singh) Nijjar, demonstrates our government’s commitment to defending the rights and freedoms of Canadians.”
  • “And the suggestion that we haven’t and we won’t do everything we can to defend Canadian rules and values and defend Canadians from foreign interference is simply misplaced,” Justine Trudeau is heard in a video of the inquiry proceedings shared by Canadian newspaper The Global and Mail.
  • “Our government has always stood up to defend minorities in Canada and the rights of minorities to speak out even if it irritates their home countries overseas,” the Canadian prime minister said.
  • Asked whether appropriate steps were not taken to expose foreign interference, Justin Trudeau replied, “I think that’s certainly a question one needs to ask of the previous conservative government that was known for its very cozy relationship with the current Indian government. Whereas our government has always stood up to defend minorities in Canada and the rights of minorities to speak out, even if it irritates their home countries overseas,” according to the video shared by The Global and Mail.
  • In a classified February interview with the Commission of Inquiry, Justin Trudeau called it extremely damaging to the confidence of the people of Canada in the democratic process. A public summary of the interview was revealed at the inquiry on Wednesday, where Trudeau testified at an open hearing. Trudeau expressed his frustration that intelligence leaked to the media had been “sensationalized” and taken out of context, Canada-based CTV News reported.

India-Canada ties

The relations between India and Canada came under severe strain following Justin Trudeau’s allegations last year of a “potential” involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2023.

Days after Justin Trudeau’s allegations, India announced temporarily suspending the issuance of visas to Canadian citizens and asked Ottawa to downsize its diplomatic presence in the country.

India has rejected Justin Trudeau’s allegations as “absurd” and “motivated” and accused Canada of giving space to Khalistani extremists targeting India.

India had designated Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020.

The trial, which began on March 5 and ended earlier than planned, came as part of a campaign against graft that the leader of the ruling Communist Party, Nguyen Phu Trong, has pledged for years to stamp out, although with few tangible results.

The crackdown, dubbed “blazing furnace”, has seen hundreds of senior state officials and high-profile business executives prosecuted or forced to step down.

At one point in 2022, Vietnamese stocks suffered a $40 billion wipeout following a series of big corporate arrests, rattling investor confidence at a delicate moment for the fast-growing economy.

Lan’s lawyers were not immediately available for comment.

Lan and her accomplices were accused of siphoning off more than 304 trillion dongs from Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank (SCB), which she effectively controlled through dozens of proxies, according to investigators.

On March 15, Kavitha was arrested in Hyderabad by the Enforcement Division on charges of money laundering, and she was placed under judicial custody at Tihar Jail.

After being detained in Hyderabad on March 15 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on suspicion of money laundering, Ms. Kavitha was placed under judicial custody and sent to Tihar Jail. A special court gave the CBI permission to arrest her on April 10.

It has been alleged that Ms. Kavitha was part of a “South Group’ which paid ₹100 crore in advance as “kickbacks” through the then Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) communication and media in-charge Vijay Nair, who represented some AAP leaders.

According to the probe agencies, she and other members of the group had conspired with the top AAP leaders, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the then Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, to get favors in the formulation and implementation of the excise policy.

The CBI registered the case on August 17, 2022, against Mr. Sisodia and 14 others on a reference from the Union Home Ministry. It was alleged that the excise policy was tweaked to extend undue favors to license holders; the license fee was waived or reduced; and the L-1 (wholesaler) license was extended without the competent authority’s clearance.

The policy extended an extraordinarily high-profit margin of 12% for wholesalers and almost 185% profit margin for retailers.

Instead of the alleged ₹100-crore “kickbacks”, the “South Group” partners were given 65% stakes in Indo Spirits company for the recovery of payments. These stakes were controlled through “false representation, concealment of true ownership and proxies”, as alleged.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a rally in Uttarakhand on Thursday, April 11. He said that terrorists are suffering severe home attacks as a result of “this strong Modi government” at the federal level.

“Our enemies have taken advantage of each weak government we have had in the nation. Atankwaadiyon ko ghar mein ghus ke mara jata hai (our forces are murdering terrorists on their turf) under this powerful government,” Modi declared during a public gathering in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Amid a contentious political dispute in 2019 on the airstrikes carried out by the Indian Air Force against Pakistan, Modi had attacked the Opposition for calling the action taken to avenge the Pulwana assault an electoral ploy. Get real-time updates about the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

They claim that the purpose of the airstrike was to win elections. When we conducted surgical strikes, where were the elections? In Ahmedabad, Modi had declared, “Humara siddhant hai, hum ghar me ghus ke marenge (It is our principle to take the attack home).”

Sharing the plight of soldiers during the Congress regime, Modi said, “Under the Congress, soldiers lacked basic protective gear such as bulletproof jackets, leaving them vulnerable to enemy bullets. It’s the BJP that prioritized their safety, providing Indian-made bulletproof jackets. Today, thanks to the BJP, India manufactures modern rifles, fighter planes, and aircraft carriers domestically. Unlike the weak Congress government, BJP has developed modern infrastructure along the borders, including roads and tunnels, ensuring security and progress.”

Despite its small size, Uttarakhand consistently ranks among the top 5 states in producing officers for the Indian Army each year. The state is home to two regiments of the Indian Army – the Garhwal Rifles and the Kumaon Rifles.

Referring to New Delhi’s assertive approach to combat cross-border terrorism, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh recently stated during a TV interview that if terrorists attempt to disturb peace in India or carry out terror activities, a suitable response will be given and if they flee to Pakistan, India will enter the neighboring country to kill them.

The defense minister was responding to a question on a report by the British newspaper “The Guardian” that claimed Indian intelligence agencies carried out assassinations of terrorists in Pakistan as part of an emboldened approach to national security after 2019.

“If terrorists from the neighboring country try to disturb the peace in Bharat or try to carry out terror activities in Bharat, we will give them a befitting reply.

Koi bhi terrorist hamare parosi desh se yadi hamare Bharat ko disturb karneki koshish karega, yahan par yadi atankbadi harkate karega, toh uska muh tod jabab denge),” 

“If they run away to Pakistan, we will enter Pakistan to kill them (Yadi woh bhag kar Pakistan mein jayega, toh Pakistan mein ghus kar marenge),” he said.

PM Modi on road, and rail connectivity in Uttarakhand

Lauding his government for better infrastructure in Uttarakhand, Modi said, “We are continuously increasing rail, road and air connectivity in the state. Work is underway on the Rishikesh -Karanprayag railway line. Distance between Delhi and Dehradun is also reducing. Border villages, which were called ‘last villages’ under the Congress, are now being developed under the BJP government. Air services have started for Adi Kailash and Om Parvat. A 900-km-long highway is also being built to connect Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath.”

Addressing the crowd, the PM shared, “Yesterday I was in Tamil Nadu, situated on the ocean coast, at the southern end of India. There also people are saying –Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar! Today I am in the lap of the Himalayas, in the company of Baba Kedar and Badri Vishal. So here also the same echo – Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar!

Milestones under Modi govt

On the occasion, Modi also presented a glimpse of the milestones achieved by the BJP government over the past years that including the elimination of terrorists in their hideouts, the abolition of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir after seven decades, and the enactment of laws against triple talaq, addressing long-standing social issues.

“Additionally, the BJP government ensured women’s representation by granting them reservation in both the Lok Sabha and Assembly, fostering inclusivity and gender equality in governance,” Modi said.

The PM also elaborated on the One Rank One Pension scheme and said, “It is Modi who has given more than ₹1 lakh crore to ex-servicemen by implementing OROP. Here in Uttarakhand too, military families have received more than ₹3.5 thousand crores.”

In 2013, Jamie Siminoff, the creator of Ring, went on “Shark Tank” in an attempt to raise money for his business. His proposal was turned down. He made a comeback to the show as a judge five years later.

On social media right now, a video honoring Jamie Siminoff’s incredible journey is becoming widely shared. The inventor of Ring, the first Wi-Fi video doorbell in history, Siminoff, debuted on “Shark Tank” in 2013 with his invention. All but one Shark turned down his offer, and he left the show empty-handed, only to reappear years later as a multi-millionaire investor.

Since it was posted on X five days ago, a film chronicling the American businessman’s transformation from Shark Tank pitcher to Shark has received an incredible 14.6 million views.

Jamie Siminoff presented his video doorbell solution on the business reality show “Shark Tank” in September 2013. He sought to fund $700,000 for DoorBot, the name of his company at the time.

Siminoff was already bringing in $1 million a year in sales when he made his appearance on the show, according to Yahoo News. Except for Kevin O’Leary, all the panelists rejected his pitch, which he was hoping would win over one of the Sharks to invest in DoorBot.

Siminoff was offered a $700,000 loan by O’Leary, popularly known as “Mr Wonderful,” in exchange for a 10% fee on each sale made until the debt was repaid. He also requested 5% of the company’s ownership and a 7% royalty on all future sales. Siminoff turned down the offer and left the program without a settlement since he did not agree with the parameters of the arrangement.

After Siminoff changed the company’s name to Ring, it prospered, drawing in outside funding and seeing a rise in sales. The appeal of his product was further enhanced by the “Shark Tank” episode. He previously told Business Insider, “We think the airing of Shark Tank generated at least $5 million in additional sales.”

Ring was purchased by Amazon for $1 billion in 2018, making it the company’s second-largest acquisition at the time, after Whole Foods. When Siminoff received an invitation to join “Shark Tank” as a guest judge for the 2018 season, he had the last laugh.

“I said yes right away,” he said. “If not for that exposure, Ring would not have survived or been where we are today.”

Boss Klopp warns Liverpool of ‘super-disciplined’ Atalanta!

“There are now only great teams left in the competition,” Klopp told a pre-match press conference on Wednesday.

When Liverpool plays Atalanta in a Europa League quarterfinal at Anfield on Thursday, manager Jurgen Klopp has instructed his team to get ready for a “super-disciplined” Atalanta.

Although Atalanta defeated Sporting Lisbon of Portugal in the previous round, they have only triumphed in two of their last nine games in all competitions. However, Klopp anticipates that Atalanta, under veteran manager Gian Piero Gasperini, will cause Liverpool issues. “Only elite teams remain in the competition,” Klopp stated on Wednesday during a press conference before the game.

“It’s truly amazing, and we understand what Atalanta stands for.” For years now, Gasperini has been doing an amazing job there, and playing against Italian clubs has never been easy. We need to perform at our highest level to advance past these two legs and into the next round because they are dangerous and well-coordinated tactically,” he continued.

During his final season at Anfield, Klopp mentioned that Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, and Diogo Jota—all of whom had been out since February—might play against Atalanta. Klopp remarked, “Obviously, we didn’t rush it with the boys.” This indicates that they trained extensively on their own. Trent and Diogo had been working together for two or three weeks and were able to perform extremely good training.
