A tarp covers red paint on Canada's National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa on Monday. (Dave Charbonneau/CTV News Ottawa) Crews are cleaning up Canada's National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa on Monday, after it was defaced with red paint. The paint was discovered on the monument along the Kichi Zibi Mikan Monday morning. A photo sent to CTV News Ottawa showed the words 'Feed Me' painted on the monument. When CTV News Ottawa cameras arrived at the monument shortly after 9 a.m., tarps covered some of the graffiti and crews were cleaning the monument. Three red paint cans remained at the monument. 'A disgusting and cowardly act — Canada's National Holocaust Monument was defaced overnight,' Melissa Lantsman, Conservative MP and Deputy Leader, said on X. 'Parliament is just steps away — that's where dissent belongs. Defacing sacred ground in honour of the millions of victims of the Holocaust in the middle of the night with spray paint isn't protest, it's vandalism. Someone this pathetic deserves to be identified and held accountable.' National Holocaust Monument Crews remove red paint from the National Holocaust Monument on Monday. (Dave Charbonneau/CTV News Ottawa) CTV News Ottawa reached out to the Ottawa Police Service for comment. According to the National Holocaust Monument website, the monument in Ottawa commemorates the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered during the Holocaust, and the millions of other victims of Nazi Germany and its collaborators.

India to seek extradition of alleged terrorists from Canada- media
New Delhi believes secessionists are using the country as a base India is expected to urge Canada to expedite the extradition of 26 alleged terrorists, who government officials in New Delhi have accused of using the country as their base, according to the Deccan Herald newspaper. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend the G7 summit in Alberta from June 15 to 17, and is expected to address the matter in a bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Indian media outlets added. Modi is also likely to emphasize the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies in the countries. New Delhi officials are hopeful that Ottawa will expedite the pending extradition requests and arrest alleged gangsters and terrorists who have escaped to Canada from India, a source told the Deccan Herald. A statement from the Canadian Prime Minister's Office revealed that the two leaders have agreed to "maintain ongoing law enforcement discussions and address mutual security concerns." Certain members of Canada's Sikh community have been demanding the establishment of Khalistan, an independent ethnoreligious nation carved out of the Indian state of Punjab and surrounding areas. This movement has been central to rising tensions between New Delhi and Ottawa, especially following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations that India was involved in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a key figure in the movement. India views Khalistan activists as a national threat and has banned their organizations. It has designated the leaders of the movement, including US-based Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the founder of Sikhs for Justice, as terrorists. US prosecutors alleged last year that Indian officials were involved in a plot to assassinate Pannun, who is based in New York and holds both US and Canadian citizenship. Tensions escalatedin October 2024 when Canadian officials accused Indian diplomats of targeting Sikh activists in Canada, leading to mutual expulsions of diplomats. Trudeau at the time condemned India's actions as a "fundamental error," while New Delhi denied the allegations, claiming they were part of a broader strategy to undermine India for political gain. Pro-Khalistan separatists have organized protests, chanted anti-India slogans, and targeted diplomatic missions and Hindu temples, with violent attacks in Canada, the US, UK and other countries which have significant Sikh populations.
