Expert in B.C. says India-Pakistan tension at highest point since 1999
VANCOUVER - A British Columbia researcher in South Asian affairs says concerns about the current India and Pakistan tensions are justified, given that the region has not seen a conflict this intense in more than 25 years.
M.V. Ramana, professor at the University of B.C.'s school of public policy and global affairs, says the last time there was a realistic risk of nuclear weapons being used was a conflict between the two sides in the Kargil region of Kashmir in 1999.

Police confirm shots fired at house in Surrey linked to extortion
The owner of a mansion that was shot at twice in under two weeks in Surrey's Panorama Ridge neighbourhood was being targeted by extortionists, Surrey police have confirmed. 'SPS investigators now believe that the two shots fired at the incidents at the residence is extortion-related and can confirm that the SPS is leading the investigation into that,' Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of Surrey Police Services said in an email. No one was injured in either shooting but at least two bullet holes about 10 mm in diameter were left in the wrought iron fence in front of the beige stucco home.

Despite police installing a tower with surveillance cameras and occasionally parking an unmanned marked police SUV in front of the house on the 12000 block of Coulthard Road, the shootings have left some residents in the neighbourhood feeling unsafe to go for a walk in the normally quiet neighourhood. Police set up the cameras after the first shooting, which happened on May 14 at 3 a.m., he said. The second shooting was 12 days later, on May 26, also at 3 a.m. 'Police have not identified any suspects and the investigation is active and ongoing,' he said. Houghton said police wouldn't release further details 'because that forms part of the investigation and would reveal evidence, which, for obvious reasons, we cannot do.' Neither would he say whether the surveillance cameras captured anything useful to police or who police believe may be behind the extortion attempt. He said publicizing those details could jeopardize the investigation. He said Surrey's investigative services bureau 'speaks with counterparts across the country, including in Edmonton and Peel Regional Police (near Toronto), both of whom have experienced a number of extortion-related files in recent years.' The Surrey force didn't immediately have any data about the number of extortion-related cases it is investigating or has recommended charges for in recent years, he said. The surveillance cameras, but not the unmanned SUV, were in front of the house when the second shooting happened but police didn't receive a call about it until 8:30 a.m. that day, five hours after it happened, Houghton said after the second shooting. He also said then the owner of the house has no connection to any crimes and police believe the incident was targeted and not random. Police in both Edmonton and Peel Region have been investigating extortion attempts targeting South Asian Canadian business owners. A former B.C. solicitor general, Kash Heed, said last year that South Asian business owners in the Lower Mainland have paid millions of dollars to extortionists threatening violence, according to B.C.'s former solicitor general. Heed said one Surrey extortion victim he's aware of received daily threatening calls, with verbal and text messages becoming increasingly detailed, referencing his family members locally and in India. 'He was being sent graphic pictures of what would happen to his grandchildren and kids if he didn't pay. Frustrated by the lack of police assistance, he transferred more than $3 million to bank accounts in India.' In the latest Surrey case, Houghton confirmed the surveillance camera was on and recording at the time of the Sunday shooting and says it is 'quite obvious and overt' and is meant as a deterrent. 'I can't speak for someone who might not realize it's a camera trailer or not assume it's on. Most people would think it's on, as it is,' he said. Surrey police works with a provincial joint forces operation formed to investigate extortion attempts, various RCMP units and the anti-gang Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C., he said. Messages left at the business owner's office and on his son's cellphone were not returned. With files from Sarah Grochowski, Postmedia News

B.C. premier prepares to jet off to Asia in effort to diversify exports
Premier David Eby's 10-day visit to Asia starting June 1 is 'extremely important' as B.C.'s relationship with its biggest trading partner, the United States, has faltered and the province is hoping to to diversify its economic relationships, experts say. Kristen Hopewell, a professor and director of the Liu Institute for Global Issues at the University of B.C., said the province has historically been playing catch-up in the Asia-Pacific region with competitors such as Australia having a deeper presence there. 'We're fighting geography. It's been much easier for companies in B.C. and in Canada to trade with the U.S., given our geographic proximity, given our linguistic similarity and so forth, than to try to reach out to target these Asian markets,' said Hopewell.

'About 50 per cent of our trade goes to the U.S. That's an extremely high degree of trade vulnerability.' Eby will be visiting Japan, South Korea and Malaysia during the trade mission, which coincides with the end of the spring legislative session. He will be joined by Agriculture Minister Lana Popham and Paul Choi, parliamentary secretary for Asia-Pacific trade, as well as a number of companies hoping to add to investments already made in B.C. by companies such as Mitsubishi and Samsung. Eby said the government has two goals for the trip. 'One is to meet with our existing customers and investors overseas (at) a time of global instability and uncertainty to remind them that British Columbia is a stable jurisdiction, a strong partner, and we value the relationship we have with them,' he explained. 'The other is to identify opportunities to expand markets.' It follows a 2023 trade mission to Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Vietnam that aimed to promote the province's LNG and forestry industries as well as provide an opportunity to speak with officials about their efforts at providing affordable housing. The premier's office said some of the concrete outcomes of that trip included the signing of two memorandums of understanding with Japan that outline cooperation on supply chains for batteries and science and technology. Jagrup Brar, secretary of state for trade, also officially opened the government's trade office in Vietnam. Currently, Japan is B.C.'s third-largest trading partner with $5.6 billion worth of trade between the two jurisdictions in 2024. South Korea was just behind Japan in fourth with $3.6 billion in trade with B.C. in the same year. Malaysia is farther back in 16th with only $162 million of goods and services moving back and forth. Popham said one of the sectors with the greatest potential for an increase in trade is seafood. She said the trip will feature attendance at a halal trade show in Malaysia as well as visits to Costco Japan and Costco Korea to view the B.C. seafood sold there. 'We'll be talking to some fish brokers, vegetable brokers. We'll also be looking at some of the technologies that they use down there, especially in South Korea, to produce food,' explained Popham. For some of the companies travelling on the trip, the opportunities will be in meeting with partners on projects already underway. Martin Turenne, the CEO of FPX Nickel Corp., said he plans to speak to executives from Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal Corp., one of its largest shareholders, as well as executives from the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security. Both have partnered with FPX on the Baptiste Nickel Project, a proposed mine in central B.C. that is currently undergoing a feasibility study. Turenne said he hopes to get the feasibility study done and the environmental assessment process underway in the next couple of years. 'It's a project that could generate upwards of $45 billion of GDP through the province over its 30-year lifespan,' he said. 'Japan obviously is a large player in batteries and in electric vehicles, looking for sources of nickel for that purpose for the next many decades.' Jock Finlayson, an economist with the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association, said that while B.C. is less exposed than other provinces to the U.S., it has become less diversified since 2011 with its share of exports to Canada's southern neighbour increasing from 43 per cent to 52.4 per cent. The share of U.S. trade had previously dropped from 65.8 per cent in 2000 to 43 per cent in 2011, according to Finlayson. He said the key for this trip is to try to reverse that trend, which has also seen trade to Japan decline by one-fifth and South Korea by 11 per cent. 'Having political leaders from our various levels of government show up, especially if they're part of larger business delegations, can be helpful in making connections and laying the groundwork for subsequent business transactions and business deals,' said Finlayson. 'The competitive environment here, business environment for a lot of the industries that supply our exports hasn't been very good. So a lot of companies are choosing not to invest and expand in B.C. for a mix of different reasons.' alazenby@

Acceptance of U.S. graduate applicants to UBC jumps 44 per cent after Donald Trump's funding cuts
B.C. universities are seeing a surge of U.S. students applying to study in the province after President Donald Trump cut U.S. federal university funding and enrolment of international students. The University of B.C. has reported a sharp increase in applications from U.S. undergraduate and graduate students. Acceptances of U.S. applicants to its graduate programs jumped 44 per cent compared to last year, the highest rate recorded by the university. Gage Averill, UBC's provost and vice-president of academics, says this data confirms what admissions officials have quietly observed for months: more American students are viewing Canada, and specifically B.C., as a safer, more stable option for higher education.

'Several faculties and programs have reported higher levels of inquiry from students at U.S. institutions, some of whom are non-U.S. citizens, interested in transferring or continuing their studies at UBC,' Averill said in a statement. 'While it's too early to draw conclusions about application trends for the upcoming cycle, UBC continues to see strong interest from international students.' This surge in U.S. student interest comes during a wave of controversial policy moves by the Trump administration, which cut federal funding to some colleges and universities that don't change or remove policies on diversity, equity and inclusion programs. On Thursday, the administration revoked Harvard University's authorization to enrol international students because it alleged the university failed to comply with new federal regulations on foreign student monitoring and visa policies. This decision jeopardized the academic futures of more than 7,000 international students, forcing some to consider transferring or risk losing their legal status. A federal judge has since temporarily blocked enforcement of the ruling pending further hearings. Last month, UBC reopened admissions for several graduate programs specifically targeting U.S. applicants, and fast-tracked offers for those aiming to start classes in September. During the U.S. applicant week, more than 150 new applications were submitted. This follows a 27 per cent year-over-year increase in U.S. graduate applications by the January deadline. UBC currently enrols approximately 600 graduate and 900 undergraduate students from the U.S., and Averill expects those numbers to rise. Averill says the increase in applications from U.S. graduate students helps offset a decline from other international applicants, many of whom are concerned about Canada's federal cap on international study permits, which limits the number of new students allowed to study in the country. Canada has limited the number of international students for the second year in a row and there may be fewer spots for international students, including those from the U.S. Some UBC graduate programs remain open for January 2026 admission. Simon Fraser University has also reopened applications for select graduate programs for fall and spring 2026 admissions, specifically targeting U.S. students. Several programs continue accepting applications for spring 2026. Averill said: 'Recent changes that allow for international students to apply for Canada's major federal research funding programs may also enhance the appeal of studying at UBC, especially for graduate students pursuing research-intensive programs.' U.S. graduate students can now access funding through Canada's Tri-Agency federal research grant programs, which provide support for research-focused studies. sgrochowski@
