OTTAWA — The latest annual report of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says Indian officials and their proxy agents in Canada, engage in a range of activities that seek to influence Canadian communities and politicians.
The report comes as Canada renews diplomatic ties with India after Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G7 in Kananaskis, Alta. on Tuesday.
Last year both former prime minister Justin Trudeau and the RCMP linked agents of the Indian government to the 2023 murder of Canadian Sikh-activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
That murder happened two years ago today.
Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says that Canada has had 'difficult conversations' with the Indian government and that will continue.
Anandasangaree says that the government condemns any attempt at foreign interference in Canada, and the RCMP's investigation into Nijjar's killing is still ongoing.

U.S. condemns Canada, 4 other nations over Israeli sanctions
The United States has condemned Canada and four other countries for imposing sanctions on two Israeli cabinet ministers. On Tuesday, Canada joined the U.K., Norway, Australia and New Zealand in sanctioning the ministers for "inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank." Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement the United States urges the countries to reverse the sanctions. Rubio says the sanctions do not advance the United States' efforts to achieve a ceasefire in the region, bring home hostages and end the war. The statement goes on to blame Hamas for disturbing the peace of Gaza civilians and says the countries should "not forget who the real enemy is." Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich — the subjects of the countries' sanctions — are accused of pushing "extremist rhetoric" by calling for the displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the territory. Israel's Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa'ar said earlier Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling a meeting early next week to decide on a response to the sanctions. "It is outrageous that elected representatives and members of the government are subjected to these kind of measures," Sa'ar said at a news conference. "Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have incited extremist violence and serious abuses of Palestinian human rights," the five countries said in a joint statement. "Extremist rhetoric advocating the forced displacement of Palestinians and the creation of new Israeli settlements is appalling and dangerous. These actions are not acceptable." Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said that "extremist settler violence" threatens the long-term safety of both Israelis and Palestinians. "It prolongs the existing conflict and it erodes the path to a two-state solution, which we see as the only path to sustainable peace and security, including for Israel," Anand said following the weekly Liberal cabinet meeting. She said the sanctions target two ministers in Natanyahu's coalition government who "directly contribute to extremist settler violence," and not the state of Israel itself. WATCH | Anand speaks about the new sanctions: Canada sanctioning 2 Israeli ministers who 'promoted extremist settler violence': Anand 8 days ago Duration 2:18 Minister of Foreign Affairs Anita Anand said Tuesday that Canada is joining the U.K. and other allies in placing sanctions on two Israeli cabinet ministers because no 'concrete action' had been taken to end the expansion of West Bank settlements. She said the sanctions do not target the state of Israel, but ministers who 'directly contribute to extremist settler violence.' Asked about the prospect of further sanctions, Anand maintained that Canada's focus is on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich. "These two individuals promoted extremist settler violence and it has to stop. I will add, they are members of Netanyahu's government. They are not members of his party," Anand said. NDP foreign affairs critic Heather McPherson said Canada should be sanctioning all senior members of Netanyahu's government. "Canada should respect international law and sanction Netanyahu and his cabinet immediately for their role in the genocide of Gaza. All Israeli officials who incite or are responsible for genocide should be sanctioned," McPherson said in a media statement. McPherson said the NDP has been calling for sanctions on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich for 19 months. The joint statement says that the countries tried to work with the Israeli government on the issue of forced Palestinian displacement but "violent perpetrators" continue to act with "encouragement and impunity." The statement says that while the countries imposing sanctions still support Israel's right to defend itself, the actions of the "targeted individuals" undermine "Israel's own security and standing in the world." It says "today's measures focus on the West Bank, but of course this cannot be seen in isolation from the catastrophe in Gaza.… We continue to be appalled by the immense suffering of civilians, including the denial of essential aid." The sanctioned individuals are inadmissible to Canada and Canadian individuals and organizations are barred from doing business with them. Last month, Prime Minister Mark Carney joined British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron in writing an open letter condemning Israeli military operations in Gaza. The three leaders called the level of suffering in the territory "intolerable." The letter called on the Israeli government to allow more food aid into Gaza and to end military operations there, and for Hamas to release its remaining hostages. The three leaders said they would take "concrete actions" if Israel did not comply. Carney, Starmer and Macron also threatened to impose sanctions on people and groups linked to the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The U.K. imposed sanctions on what it called a "West Bank violence network" shortly after the letter was released publicly. But days after that letter was published, Israel announced the construction or recognition of 22 West Bank settlements. Anand said Tuesday the new sanctions come after no "concrete action" was taken to stop the expansion of settlements.

A Canada-Israel rift is widening over UN votes and sanctions
Social Sharing Israel's war with Iran has temporarily delayed a reckoning with some of its main Western allies, but seems unlikely to close what has become a yawning gap between them over its conduct in Gaza and the West Bank. "The relationship's not in great shape," said former Canadian ambassador to Israel Jon Allen. "Frankly, it shouldn't be." The gulf between the Canadian and Israeli governments widened further on June 12 as the Carney government took a firmer position against Israel's war in Gaza than its predecessor, voting for a UN motion similar to one that the Trudeau government had abstained on in September. At the time, the government explained that while it supported "the creation of the Palestinian state" and the International Court of Justice's role "in upholding the international rules-based order," it could not "support a resolution where one party, the state of Israel, is held solely responsible for the conflict." The Trudeau government also flagged concern over language that "aligns" with the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel. Canada's reservations appear to have fallen by the wayside. While neither UN resolution directly called for boycott or divestment of Israel, the earlier one did demand targeted sanctions on individuals engaged in "settler violence" — something Canada ultimately did last week. After initially agreeing to discuss the vote with CBC News, Global Affairs Canada rescinded approval of an interview request with Canada's permanent representative to the UN, Bob Rae. The department did not to explain its change of posture. WATCH | Netanyahu says Canada is 'emboldening Hamas': Netanyahu accuses Carney of 'emboldening Hamas' after D.C. shooting 27 days ago Duration 1:39:07 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked Canada, France and the U.K. in his response to the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, saying that 'when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice.' Israel's Ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed responds to the countries' joint warning of sanctions over Israel's expansion of the war in Gaza, telling Power & Politics that 'Israel has the capability of conquering Gaza in half a day.' Plus, NDP interim leader Don Davies addresses a letter from three of the party's seven MPs calling out his selection as leader. Allen said Israel's reaction to Canada's threat of sanctions in May inflamed the situation. "Bibi [Netanyahu's] response, I thought, was despicable. It was vile," he told CBC News, as the Israeli prime minister connected a joint statement from Canada, the U.K. and France to the killing of two Israeli diplomats in D.C. "It was using the worst of allegations to score political points." Tensions between Israel and Canada remain high over the sanctioning of two Israeli cabinet ministers. But under the Trump administration, there's no reason Israel would worry about the U.S. applying any such pressure. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Norway to reverse course. The U.S. ambassador to Israel invited the sanctioned ministers, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir, to the U.S. embassy in a show of support. Ambassador Mike Huckabee said the sanctions against them were "a shocking decision," arguing "they have not conducted any criminal activity." But the two have long histories of racist and violent rhetoric and both have previously spent time in Israeli government custody for their words and actions. The five Western governments pointed to repeated inflammatory statements by the ministers encouraging the use of starvation and other illegal methods in Gaza, and their repeated calls for its population to be displaced and replaced with Jewish settlers, as justification for the sanctions. The U.S. also recently warned other governments not to attend a planned summit, to be hosted by France and Saudi Arabia at the UN, that aims to revive the hope for a two-state solution — an objective long held by most of the world including the U.S. outside of the two Trump administrations. Rubio sent a diplomatic cable threatening other countries with unspecified consequences if they took part, according to Reuters. An official with Global Affairs Canada told CBC News that Canada decides its own foreign policy and would not be influenced by the U.S. note. That summit has been postponed due to the outbreak of hostilities between Israel and Iran. But Allen thinks it likely that Canada will ultimately attend, regardless of any pressure from Washington. 'There is no peace process' The former diplomat said Canada could likely expect blowback from the U.S. if it were to officially recognize a Palestinian state, but argues it would probably be less serious than what he experienced in Washington when the Chrétien government opted to sit out George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq. Allen was invited to testify on the topic at the Commons foreign affairs committee last year, where he said he saw "overwhelming" support for the idea — including by members of the Liberal caucus. "But obviously the government is weighing its classic relationship with Israel, and its relationship with the U.S., and its relationship with the diaspora community here on that one," Allen said. WATCH | Trump doesn't rule out bombing Iran: Trump weighing use of U.S. bunker-busters in Israel's fight with Iran 6 hours ago Duration 5:25 Spain, Ireland and Norway all recognized the state of Palestine during the course of the current Gaza war, as do 144 other countries. He expects Canada would do the same "in conjunction with the U.K., France, Australia, for example." He said the strongest argument to do so is to show Israel it doesn't have a "veto" over when Palestinian territories could become a country. "They expand settlements, they advocate the depopulation of Gaza. And then they say, oh, you know we have to have a peace process in order to recognize a Palestinian state," Allen said.

Senate passes bill to protect supply management from any future trade deals
OTTAWA — The Bloc Québécois' long and often rocky road to protect supply management from any concessions in future trade negotiations has come to a successful end. The Senate has adopted Bill C-202, making it the first bill set to receive royal assent in the new session of Parliament. Article content 'We won,' said Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet enthusiastically, hours after the Senate adopted his party's bill. Article content Article content C-202 sought to amend the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act to prevent the minister from 'making a commitment' that would increase the tariff rate quota for dairy, poultry, or eggs in trade negotiations. It would also prevent tariff reductions on these products when they are imported in excess. Article content Article content The Bloc wanted to strengthen the long-standing federal government policy to maintain Canada's supply management system, including its production control, pricing mechanisms and import controls. The House of Commons unanimously passed the bill last week and the Senate did so 'with division' on Tuesday evening. Article content 'The notion of unanimity really weighed heavily. It was all parties and the unanimity of elected officials. So, everyone who speaks for Canadians and Quebecers was in favour,' Blanchet said at a press conference. Article content Bloc Québécois MP Yves Perron has been championing this bill for over five years. In an interview with the National Post, Perron expressed his pride. Article content Article content 'We have just demonstrated that the Bloc Québécois serves a purpose. I think we are capable of moving forward on issues and on a scale that is extremely positive for Quebec, but also positive for the rest of Canada,' he said. 'And the rest of Canada has finally understood this.' Article content But the Grain Growers of Canada argued that 'Parliament chose to prioritize one group of farmers over another,' while the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance said it was 'deeply concerned' by the adoption of 'a flawed piece of legislation that sets a troubling precedent, undermining Canada's longstanding commitment to the rules-based international trading system.' Article content Even if the Senate passed the bill, many senators still had some reservations on Tuesday. In a speech in the Senate, Alberta Sen. Paula Simons expressed concerns about what Bill C-202 means for national unity because it was from a Bloc MP, which advocates for the separation of Quebec from the rest of Canada. Article content 'It does seem strange to allow a separatist party to set Canada's national trade policy to such an extent, and at the expense of Western Canadian producers and agricultural exporters,' she said.
