Appeals court orders ICE to return detained Turkish Tufts University student to Vermont
A federal appeals court on Wednesday upheld a judge's order to bring a Turkish Tufts University student from a Louisiana immigration detention center back to New England for hearings to determine whether her rights were violated and if she should be released.
Denying a government request for a delay, the three-judge panel of the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Rumeysa Ozturk after hearing arguments at a hearing Tuesday. Ozturk has been in Louisiana for over six weeks following an op-ed she co-wrote last year that criticized the school's response to Israel's war in Gaza.

Anyone who has listened to Poilievre over the last several years would instantly recognize many of the proposals that Carney has put forward. These weren't just policy proposals that Poilievre had put forward during the election that Carney somehow magically stole in the campaign. These were ideas Poilievre had spoken about time and again as he crisscrossed the country, holding rallies and building up his army of supporters ahead of the election, while Justin Trudeau was still prime minister. Ideas like allowing Canadians to work in whichever part of the country they wanted. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Poilievre advocated for that policy for tradespersons and professionals alike. Read More Getting rid of bureaucratic red tape that stopped goods and services moving between different parts of Canada – yet another policy Poilievre championed for years. These weren't ideas the Conservative Leader dreamed up in response to the economic turmoil brought about by Donald Trump's tariff measures or his decision to revamp the American economy and the global trading order. These ideas were the bread and butter of Poilievre's plan to give Canadians more personal economic freedom and to boost the lacklustre Canadian economy. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. It's likely cold comfort to the currently seatless Conservative Leader, that his ideas will now be implemented by the party that once scoffed at him when he raised these ideas in the House of Commons. Regardless of which party and leader puts them forward, they are the kinds of ideas that we need now. Canada's latest unemployment rate is the latest sign of an economy in decline. The national unemployment rate is 7% – in Ontario it's 7.9% and in Toronto it's 9.1%. In Alberta, the unemployment rate is above the national average at 7.4%, while both Edmonton (7.3%) and Calgary (7.8%) are also above the national average. We are on the brink of a recession according to the economic forecasts from several of Canada's big banks. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'We're in an economic crisis,' Carney rightly said during his news conference on Parliament Hill. The PM went on to say Canada is facing unjustified and illegal tariffs before pivoting to say we need to build here in Canada. He touted the benefits of tearing down barriers that make it easier to trade with the Americans rather than each other. 'That will allow more goods, more services to be transported, sold, and bought across our nation without restriction, generating new opportunities for Canadian businesses and lowering costs for Canadian consumers,' he said. This should have been Canada's path all along, but for a decade, the Trudeau Liberals were too busy trying to do what they could to shackle the economy. He passed the West Coast tanker ban, he put in place an emissions cap on the oil and gas industry, his industrial carbon tax is still hurting industry and he passed Bill C-69, which hurts all kinds of natural resources projects and industrial projects across the country. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Carney is leaving all of those policies in place while trying to sound like he will build big projects of national interest. Straddling two sides of the same road is a dangerous ploy, but that is what he's doing. Keeping the old policies in place, assuring all the groups that don't want our economy to be unleashed that things will be fine, while also trying to sound like Poilievre. Carney may have some of Poilievre's words but he doesn't have his belief that building these projects is the right thing to do. Let's hope his much-vaunted business acumen is enough to see some projects through to fruition. For now though, all we have are words when what we really need is action. blilley@ Olympics NHL Toronto & GTA Editorial Cartoons Ontario

Modi says Carney invited him to G7, 1st visit to Canada since RCMP linked India to killings, extortion
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi says Prime Minister Mark Carney has invited him to the G7 summit later this month in Alberta, making his first visit to Canada since the RCMP accused his government of acts of murder, extortion and coercion. In a social media post on Friday, Modi wrote that Carney called him and extended an invitation to the gathering in Kananaskis in just over a week. As vibrant democracies bound by deep people-to-people ties, India and Canada will work together with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests, wrote Modi. Look forward to our meeting at the summit. Leaders from the G7 countries — Canada, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States — along with the president of the European Commission are heading to the western province for high-level meetings. Other leaders are often invited for side meetings. Modi, head of one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, has been invited to every G7 leaders' summit since 2019. Carney has been under pressure to break with that tradition. Earlier this week, the Toronto-based Sikh Federation said Canada should withhold any invitation until India substantially co-operates with criminal investigations in Canada. Last fall, the head of the RCMP laid out allegations accusing agents of the Indian government of playing a role in widespread violence in Canada, including homicides, and warned that it poses a serious threat to our public safety. Trudeau accuses India of supporting violent crimes in Canada (new window) RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme said his officers, working with other law enforcement agencies, have obtained evidence linking Indian government agents to homicides and other violent acts in Canada, including coercion and extortion. The previous year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Canada had evidence linking Indian agents to the killing of Canadian Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. New Delhi has denied the allegations. During the recent federal election campaign, Carney called the Canadian-Indian relationship incredibly important. There are strains on that relationship that we didn't cause, to be clear, he said. But there is a path forward to address those with mutual respect. Catharine Tunney (new window) · CBC News

As separatist talk simmers in Alberta and Quebec, Canadians say breaking up will be hard to do: poll
Article content Against a backdrop of fresh talk of Alberta separation and the constant spectre of Quebec's sovereignty movement, a new national opinion poll found that most Canadians say breaking up will be hard to do. Article content A large majority of respondents nationally said any secession by one province would require negotiation with all provinces and must be supported by a clear majority of voters in the province, and most said separation cannot be a unilateral decision, and it should require approval by the federal House of Commons. Article content Article content Article content A national opinion survey, conducted by Leger Marketing for the Association for Canadian Studies and provided to Postmedia, was designed to probe Canadians attitudes about the process for separation, rather than their views on separation itself, and what should follow a successful provincial leave referendum. Article content Article content 'The bottom line is that Canadians across the country envision the process as much more complex than a simple majority vote on a referendum question,' said Jack Jedwab, president of the Montreal-based Association for Canadian Studies. Article content Public discussion about Alberta separating from Canada drew more mainstream attention in May, after the federal election returned the Liberal Party to government and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tabled provincial legislation to make it easier for Albertans to trigger a referendum on the province leaving the rest of Canada. Smith said she would hold such a referendum if a citizen petition called for it. Article content Article content Separatists in Quebec hope the renewed discourse on separation will boost their long-standing desire for independent statehood, which twice went to provincial referendum which failed to support sovereignty, in 1980 and 1995. The Parti Québécois plans another provincial sovereignty referendum in the years ahead. Article content That creates plenty of secessionist talk and debate, but it has been 30 years since Canada has seen an actual separation referendum. Article content 'Many Canadians of voting age and, of course, most immigrants didn't experience the last referendum 30 years ago, but there is a growing consensus that the rest of the country would want a say in the process and secession would not be simple,' said Jedwab. Article content The poll asked 1,537 people across Canada a series of questions on the mechanism of a possible separation. Article content Article content A majority of Canadians said any referendum question regarding provincial separation from Canada must be unambiguous, with 59 per cent of respondents agreeing with that, with only 11 per cent disagreeing, and 30 per cent saying they don't know or declined to answer.
