Premier John Horgan won’t seek re-election “Premier Horgan has improved the lives of British Columbians”: Trudeau PREMIER John Horgan announced on Tuesday that he will not be seeking reelection and that his party will choose a new leader. In a statement, Horgan said: “Over the last couple of days, our cabinet has met to seek solutions to the challenges people face in British Columbia. “These include the high cost of living and the stresses on primary care. Working to make life better for people is why we are here and that continues to be my focus. “As we reach the mid-point of our second term, it is clear the tasks ahead of us are enormous and will require a leader focused on the next two years and beyond. A second bout with cancer and dozens of radiation treatments has led me to take stock. “I am proud to say I’m cancer free. While I have a lot of energy, I must acknowledge this may not be the case two years from now. “Therefore, I have decided not to run again in the next election. “Once again, I want to thank the healthcare professionals who helped me through this journey. They do incredible work under difficult circumstances. “I also want to thank the many British Columbians – from every walk of life and from all political persuasions – who offered their best wishes. “I will stay on as Premier until my successor is chosen. I will continue to

This includes pushing the federal government to fund their fair share of health-care costs so we can make our public health-care system work better for everyone. “I am looking forward to reconnecting with my neighbours as the MLA for Langford-Juan de Fuca. “Being Premier is not a job I ever expected to have, yet it’s been the honour of my life. “In the last five years, we’ve accomplished a lot by working together and caring for each other. The work continues.”

Juggy Sihota appointed as Board Chair of VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation THE VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation on Tuesday announced that Juggy Sihota, Vice President, Consumer Health at TELUS, is its newly appointed Board Chair. The Foundation said that Sihota’s appointment is historically significant to it as she is the first BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and people of color] woman to ever hold this position. Sihota said: “Today is an historic day for our Foundation and it’s also deeply personal for me. I have had the privilege of serving on the VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation Board for the past nine years since they helped save my mom’s life.” She added: “To have this culminate into the role of Board Chair for this formidable organization is truly an honour. I made a commitment to my mom, Tarsem Sihota, many years ago that I would dedicate myself to help drive improvements to health care for all Canadians. To serve as Board Chair for one of the top five fundraising foundations in the country helps me honour and fulfill this commitment.” She said: “This organization has become
Juggy Sihota Photo submitted like a family to me. Our health care leaders here are second to none. We just fin-
ished a record-breaking year, raising more than $113 million while also making a generational investment of $100 million toward the acquisition of a Vancouver city block to support further innovation in health care delivery. Philanthropy plays a vital role in our health care system and my gratitude goes out to all of our donors.” Sihota said: “My gratitude, as well, to Gary Segal, our former Board Chair, for his partnership, mentorship and friendship. I will build upon our established track record and am excited to work with Vice Chair Jim Szabo, our impressive Board and with our CEO, Angela Chapman.” A multidisciplinary executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience, Sihota leads the national strategy, execution and operation of the Consumer Health business for TELUS. In addition, she has led several emerging technology businesses and operations, spanning service development, operations, as well as strategy and marketing. Sihota is a passionate community leader, giving of her time, talent and resources to
a number of causes, including the VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation, where she has served as a Director since 2013. She has made significant impact in guiding the growth of the Foundation as a member of its Governance and Nominating committee, Lottery Proceeds Distribution committee, the Major Gifts committee and as Chair of the HR committee leading the recruitment for the current CEO, Angela Chapman. Angela Chapman, President and CEO of VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation, said: “We are very excited to announce the appointment of Juggy Sihota as our next Chair of the Board of Directors. Juggy brings a deep knowledge of the role of innovation in transforming health care. “Her expertise and strategic leadership in marketing and business development are vital assets as we invite new generations of supporters to improve health care for everyone in BC. I look forward to working with Juggy, our incredible Board of Directors, donors and health care partners to transform health care through innovation and save lives.”
Has Jim Bennett quit Jinny Sims’ Surrey Forward or …? IS Surrey mayoral candidate Jinny Sims’ Surrey Forward going backwards?
Surrey Forward campaign manager Stephen Carter says that he received their
party’s council candidate Jim Bennett’s resignation on June 23. Bennett, who won Surrey’s 2020 Good Citizen of the Year Award, didn’t say why he had quit. But Bennett told vancouverisawesome.com that broke the story on Monday: “There was somebody else who backed out early on and, and that person has gotten mixed up with myself before too.” When The VOICE called Bennett on Tuesday, he hung up. The VOICE also left a message for mayoral candidate Sims’ party for their response, but no one has gotten back to this newspaper so far. Bennett’s photo and biography has been removed from Surrey Forward’s website Surrey Forward’s other council candidates are June Liu, Ramon Bandong and Theresa Pidcock.

200 police officers hired as Surrey Police Service steadily replaces RCMP SURREY Police Service (SPS) and the Surrey Police Board have released the 2021-2022 Report to the Community to inform the public about the development of Surrey’s new municipal police agency over the past year. The report is now available on the SPS website. The theme of SPS’s 2021-2022 Report to the Community is “Designed from Day 1 for Surrey”, highlighting how everything from SPS’s hiring, to engagement with the community, to the development of its policing services is being tailored to Surrey communities and their unique public safety needs. “It is critically important that we do not squander this opportunity to create a policing model that works for today’s world and for Surrey’s needs,” said Chief Constable Norm Lipinski on Monday. “We cannot simply accept what was done in the past, or the ‘status quo’ of policing. Our world has changed, and so must our policing model.” SPS’s Report to the Community provides information on how SPS is creating a culture of wellness,
working to keep the public and officers safer through enhanced de-escalation training, and demonstrating accountability through increased access to information. The report also includes 2021 financials for both SPS and the policing transition, hiring statistics, strategic
priorities and action items, and the work of the Police Board. “It is hard to believe that it has been just two years since the Surrey Police Board was established, when we consider the significant milestones Surrey Police Service and the Board have achieved,” says the
Surrey Police Board in their message in the report. “From signing a collective agreement with the Surrey Police Union to hiring our 200th police officer, we have made incredible progress while keeping public and officer safety as our foundational principal.” Over the past year, SPS has grown to over 275 employees, including 85 experienced officers deployed into policing operations, and 14 new recruits currently training at the Justice Institute of BC. Surrey is currently in phase one of its policing transition, during which SPS officers are integrated into the Surrey RCMP detachment every two months. In a separate message, Lipinski said: “As of May 2022, SPS has over 275 employees, two unions representing staff, our first recruit class at the Justice Institute of BC Police Academy, and 85 officers deployed into policing operations in Surrey. In just the past year we also unveiled the SPS uniform and police vehicle design, completed our first strategic plan, signed our first collective
SPS Chief Constable Norm Lipinski Photo submitted agreement, and worked with the RCMP to develop an approved plan that will guide our respective human resources as phase one of the policing transition continues.” View or download the Surrey Police Service 2021-2022 Report to the Community at www.surreypolice.ca.
Surrey RCMP Cpl. Peter Leckie charged with breach of trust and fraud THE BC Prosecution Service (BCPS) announced on Wednesday that several charges of breach of trust and fraud have been approved against Surrey RCMP Cpl. Peter Leckie in connection with allegations of misconduct involving three individuals between January 2014 and October 2020 at or near Surrey. An information charging Leckie with seven counts of breach of trust in connection with the duties of their office and two counts of obtaining computer service by fraud were sworn on June 29. A first appearance date has been set for July 27 in Surrey Provincial Court. The charges were approved by an experienced Crown Counsel with no prior or cur-
rent connection with the officer, the BCPS said. SURREY RCMP said in a press statement that it is alleged Leckie used his position as a police officer to obtain information and contact members of the public for the purpose of engaging in intimate relationships with women both on and off duty. Surrey RCMP’s Professional Standard Unit (PSU) has conduct of this investigation and believes there may be further witnesses in the community with additional information. In order to advance the ongoing investigation, police are releasing a photo of Leckie Cpl. Peter Leckie Photo: Surrey RCMP
and asking anyone with information to contact Surrey RCMP PSU at 604-599-7887. “These are disturbing allegations of breach of trust and fraud involving one of our police officers,” said Assistant Commissioner Brian Edwards, Officer in Charge of Surrey RCMP. “Our Professional Standards Unit is committed to a thorough investigation and we urge anyone who may have additional information to reach out to PSU investigators.” Leckie has worked with the Surrey RCMP since January 2010. He is currently suspended with pay and the recent developments with criminal charges laid on Wednesday will engage the process to move towards suspension without pay.

Harpreet Singh Dhaliwal’s homicide: Man pleads guilty, sentenced to life in prison In 2016, he was charged with four weapons offences and pleaded guilty to one in 2018. He was sentenced to a one-year prison term. Harpreet was the victim of shootings in 2017
in Abbotsford and in December 2018 at Lansdowne Mall in Richmond. Another brother, Meninder, survived a shooting in March 2019 in Richmond.

Cards Harpreet Dhaliwal’s body lies under a tarp. FRANCOIS Joseph Gauthier, 53, who was initially charged with first-degree murder in the April 17, 2021 shooting death of Harpreet Singh Dhaliwal, 31, outside Cardero’s restaurant near Coal Harbour Quay and Cardero Street in Vancouver, pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of second-degree murder in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday. Gauthier was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 20 years. Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes said that this offence as an execution-style killing was a particularly serious one with many aggravating features. According to court documents, Gauthier shot Dhaliwal 10 times with a semi-automatic handgun with a silencer. The motive for the murder has not been revealed. After shooting Dhaliwal, Gauthier dropped the handgun and fled. But Dhaliwal’s brother and another man chased him and stabbed him multiple times before returning to the victim’s body. First responders were unable to revive Dhaliwal. Dhaliwal, who did not have a criminal record, was believed to have ties to the Brothers Keepers gang. Quebec-born Gauthier, who had a serious criminal record, had come to Vancouver in January 2021 from South America. Police found firearms as well as GPS tracking devices, four B.C. licence plates, four cellphones and a silicone-style face mask in his Airbnb apartment.

ACCORDING to The Abbotsford News’ Vikki Hopes, Harpreet (Harb) Dhaliwal’s brother, Barinder (Brian) “Shrek” Dhaliwal, was the suspected target of a drive-by shooting in 2011 at a home on Bradner Road and was an associate of the Bacon brothers. In 2011, Jarrod Bacon alleged in wiretap evidence presented at his drug-conspiracy trial that Brian could front the $3 million in cash for cocaine.

Dr. Faisal Khosa receives 2022 UBC Faculty of Medicine Distinguished Achievement Award DR. Faisal Khosa has received the 2022 UBC Faculty of Medicine Distinguished Achievement Award for “Advancement of Equity, Diversity and Inclusiveness.” This award “recognizes outstanding contributions in the area of equity, diversity, and inclusion through research, teaching, or service.” Each year, the Faculty of Medicine recognizes faculty members who exemplify exceptional contributions in the areas of education, research and/or service, and who are dedicated to advancing both the Faculty’s values and vision of transforming health for everyone. Just recently, Khosa was one of the recipients of the B.C. Achievement Community Award. The awards were announced last May by Premier John Horgan and Anne Giardini, Chair of the BC Achievement Foundation. Khosa’s citation read: “An award-winning radiologist and scholar, Dr. Faisal Khosa excels as a clinician-scientist. His work as a mentor, educator and advocate for equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) has created a legacy for his profession and also the larger BC community. With more than 240 peer-reviewed scholarly publications, Dr. Khosa’s research has catalyzed initiatives to increase the accessibility of higher education and achievement for underrepresented students. He has created actionable guidelines for institutions in BC and Canada for the equitable inclusion of students, educators and physicians. “Dr. Khosa serves as a mentor for students belonging to underrepresented groups including female, refugee, BIPOC and those with physical and mental disabilities empowering them
Dr. Faisal Khosa Photo submitted through hands-on EDI workshops. His purpose and dream are to ensure a level playing field and enable those who have been historically marginalized with the opportunities to shine.” The Mitchell Award designate of the Community Award is selected by the BC Achievement Foundation Board in consultation with the local community. The award recognizes an individual who, through their work and volunteer activities, demonstrates an unwavering commitment to elevating people around them. Khosa was selected as this year’s Mitchell Award of Distinction recipient — “a mentor, educator and advocate for equity, diversity and inclusion, whose selfless leadership style empowers others to lead and excel.”
Gurkirat Singh Nijjar wins KPU’s 2022 Outstanding Young Alumni Award A Kwantlen Polytechnic University graduate whose volunteer work made an immediate impact in the fight against opioid overdoses is KPU’s 2022 Outstanding Young Alumni Award winner. Gurkirat Singh Nijjar will receive the award June 24 during convocation ceremonies at the university’s Surrey campus. Nijjar, 26, came to KPU in 2015 as an international student and he quickly became instrumental in developing and supporting community programs on his way to earning an associate of science degree in biology in 2017. As founder of the non-profit youth-led organization SOUDA—Students Overcoming Substance Use Disorder and Addictions Society of Canada—Nijjar is responsible for bringing life-saving resources to our community. Since September 2019, Nijjar has led his team of volunteers to set up opioid overdose response and prevention booths at community events, places of worship and parks. Team SOUDA offers education, resources, naloxone training and conversation in four languages to help break the stigma and encourage harm reduction strategies. Nijjar has also worked to improve pedestrian road safety in the Newton neighbourhood of Surrey through a road safety campaign. In addition, Nijjar has made time to volunteer with Chimo Community Services’ crisis line program, along with volunteering in the community kitchen of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara and the food bank. During the pandemic, Nijjar served as a bridge between KPU International student services and the South Asian COVID Task Force to share information and resources. He is also a Fraser Health wellness ambassador and serves as a commu-

The Outstanding Young Alumni Award recognizes KPU alumni under age 30 at the time of nomination who have demonstrated sustained levels of community service while making a significant or innovative impact in their chosen profession. It also acknowledges those who’ve maintained involvement with KPU or alumni activities since graduation. “The KPU Alumni Association is very pleased to be awarding Gurkirat with the Outstanding Young Alumni award,” says Nancy Armitage, executive director of the KPU Alumni Association, on Friday. “He truly exemplifies the intent of this award by going above and beyond in service to others in our communities.”
Man in Mission allegedly shoots himself THE BC RCMP announced on Monday that they have notified the Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIO BC) of an incident in Mission where a man suffered self-inflicted wounds while in the presence of police. On June 27, at approximately 10 a.m., Mission RCMP received a complaint regarding a woman screaming at a residence. When officers arrived a woman, who appeared injured, answered the door and indicated that there was a man who was known to her in the home.
During the course of searching the two-storey home, officers reportedly heard a gunshot and located the injured man with what appeared to be a self-inflicted injury and a weapon. Emergency Health Services were called and the man was transported to hospital with lifethreatening injuries.

I join people from coast to coast to coast to celebrate one of our country’s greatest strengths – our diversity. Cultural communities have always been integral to the fabric of Canada, and Canadians celebrate their diverse cultural heritage and identity with great pride. “Our multiculturalism makes us who we are as Canadians, and many cultural communities have a long history of contributing to our country. As Canadians and partners, we acknowledge that First Nations, Inuit, and Métis have called these lands home for millennia. “Canada’s proud and longstanding tradition of welcoming people from around the world with open arms continues to shape our country today. Last year, the Government of Canada welcomed over 405,000 new permanent residents into the country, the largest number of newcomers to Canada in a single year, surpassing the previ-

ous record from 1913. Canada was also the global leader in resettling refugees in 2021, helping them establish roots and start a new life here. All across the country, newcomers start businesses in their communities, volunteer to help those who need it, and contribute fully to our local economies. Canada is better for it. “The government is building on Canada’s global reputation as an open and compassionate society. While we have much to celebrate, many Canadians still face systemic barriers and discrimination based on the colour of their skin, their background, or their faith, and we recognize there is still more work to do to achieve a truly equitable country. Through the Community Support, Multiculturalism, and Anti-Racism Initiatives Program, a renewed Anti-Racism Strategy, and a new National Action Plan on Combatting Hate, we are improving our understanding of the challenges faced by Indigenous Peoples, Black and racialized and religious minority communities and driving action to make Canada more inclusive for everyone. “On behalf of the Government of Canada, I invite everyone to participate in Canadian Multiculturalism Day by taking part in activities and events across the country. Today and every day, let us celebrate the differences that make Canada one of the best places in the world to live.” B.C. Premier John Horgan said in a statement: “Today, we celebrate Canadian Multiculturalism Day, an opportunity to reflect on our shared work to create a British Columbia that is a welcoming place for everyone. “Indigenous Peoples have called this land home since time immemorial. For more than a century and a half, people from around the world have come to British Columbia to build better lives for themselves and their communities. As we celebrate this day, we acknowledge the territories of Indigenous people, and we again reconfirm our commitment to reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous people and communities. “Multiculturalism is a hallmark of Canadian identity. We celebrate it as a central part of our national character. Our country and our province are stronger because of our diversity. “At the same time, we must acknowledge the deep inequalities Canadians face, especially those from racialized communities. Discrimination in housing, education, public services and job opportunities are a lived reality for too many. Systemic racism and the long-lasting effects of colonialism have unfairly held people back. These injustices are compounded when Indigenous people and racialized communities ask for action, only to be told by government to provide evidence using data that is not being collected. “As a step to dismantle systemic racism and discrimination, our government introduced the Anti-Racism Data Act. It is an important tool to build a more equitable province by shining a light on barriers that exist. By doing so, we will improve services and make life better for everyone. “It is time to move beyond simply embracing multiculturalism to becoming actively anti-racist. By doing so, we will create a safer, more equitable society for us all. “We are all responsible for building a place where everyone – regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality or gender identity – is free to be who they are. “On Canadian Multiculturalism Day, let us celebrate what we have accomplished and pledge anew to build a better world for us all.”

Guru Nanak Village Way” commemorative street sign approved by Safe Surrey Coalition
Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum Photo submitted
street name is befitting for our City as it is a great example of the diverse cultures and beliefs that have made our City one of the best places to live not just in our Province but it in all of Canada.” MEANWHILE, PICS Society said that the idea to rename 175A Street after Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh faith, came to the fore in the wake of the decision by PICS Society to name the proposed 125-bed long-term care home for seniors as Guru Nanak Diversity Village. PICS Society has upgraded and widened 175A Street (off from 64 Avenue) in order to provide access to the Guru Nanak Diversity Village residential care facility being built in Cloverdale. The new commemorative sign will be installed in both English and Punjabi on the corner of 64 Avenue and 175A Street in July. The date for the unveiling ceremony will be announced in due course, PICS said. “With more than 104,720 South-Asians living in
Removal of barge at Vancouver’s Sunset Beach THIS week, local firm Vancouver Pile Driving Ltd (VanPile) will begin the much-anticipated process of removing the barge at Vancouver’s Sunset Beach, starting with the installation of safety barriers and fences. The barge became stranded at Sunset Beach during a windstorm on November 15, 2021, and initial efforts to remove it were unsuccessful. Local firm Vancouver Pile Driving Ltd. (VanPile) was contracted by the barge owner’s representative to carry out the barge’s deconstruction and removal. A detailed structural assessment of the vessel subsequently took place and engineers determined that refloating the barge wasn’t possible. A variety of government agencies have been supporting this process over the last few months to ensure the barge could be dismantled and removed safely. The next stage of work will include additional
site preparation and the installation of temporary piles to secure the barge. Once completed, deconstruction of the barge will begin, which includes the removal of the barge walls and hulls in sections. All material will be loaded onto support barges and hauled away by sea to a staging area to be processed and recycled. The work will have minimal impact to park activities and is expected to take approximately 12-15 weeks to complete once deconstruction has begun. The seawall will remain open during this time and there will be no impacts to traffic or parking in the area. During this process residents and visitors can expect: * Work hours will typically be Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. * Periods of noise are expected * All work will comply with City of Vancouver noise by-laws and will be monitored

the Municipality of Surrey, naming this street after Guru Nanak Ji not only reflects our city’s multicultural mosaic, but also the rich Punjabi heritage. It is a celebration of our minorities, our diverse cultures, communities and their contributions towards making Surrey a truly inclusive society and city. On behalf of PICS Society, our Board and the larger community we represent, I want to express sincere thanks to Mayor Doug McCallum and the Surrey City Council for their leadership on this initiative,” says Satbir Singh Cheema, President and CEO, PICS Society. PICS said that City Council has also issued the development permit for the Guru Nanak Diversity Village project, thereby ensuring that this important community project can be completed on time and seniors can avail the much-needed services. The application for the building permit for the project will be submitted to the City planners in July.

Summer CounterAttack roadchecks underway WITH the Canada Day long weekend approaching, ICBC and police are asking drivers to plan ahead to get home safely if their summer activities involve alcohol.
Every year on average, 65 people are killed in crashes involving impaired driving, with 40 per cent of those fatalities occurring during summer months alone. Police will be ramping up enforcement beginning this weekend, looking for impaired drivers at CounterAttack roadchecks set up throughout the province. Crashes involving impaired driving are preventable. No matter where you are this summer: if you plan to drink, don’t drive – arrange a designated driver, call a taxi or rideshare, or take transit, say ICBC and police. ICBC has led impaired driving education campaigns and funded CounterAttack enhanced police enforcement for over 40 years. Learn more facts and tips in ICBC’s infographic. MEANWHILE, The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure says drivers can expect delays on Coquihalla Highway 5 as portions of the highway are two lanes in each direction due to damage from the November 2021 atmospheric river and ongoing reconstruction work. The heaviest traffic volumes on the Coquihalla are anticipated to be on Sunday, July 3, from 1-8 p.m. Drivers are encouraged to adjust travel plans to avoid peak times or consider using Highway 3 as an alternative route between the Interior and Lower Mainland. Drivers on other routes throughout the province should also expect higher-than-average traffic volumes and plan accordingly. General tips for a safe trip include: * allowing additional time to get to your destination due to more people on the roads; * making sure your vehicle is up for the drive by having a full tank of gas or charged battery, checking engine oil, washer fluid, lights and

Politically charged “racist” float in Alberta stirs controversy … but let’s calm down! VOICE OPINION COLUMN WHOEVER organized the float at Alberta’s Sundre Pro Rodeo parade last Saturday that showed a masked man with an Alberta flag driving a tractor that was pulling a manure spreader with a man wearing a turban and fake beard and “The Liberal” painted in red on its side, sure stirred up a controversy with accusations of racism and poor taste flying around.
However, some didn’t think it was racist as they noted that the float was apparently meant to show federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh cozying up to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, though they made it clear that it was inappropriate to include it at a family-friendly parade. (The organizers claim that it was an unapproved float that just snuck in – but we don’t believe that.) One reader wrote in a Cal-
gary newspaper: “Calm down people. Stow the outrage. I believe race had nothing to do with that float. While I agree that it may not have deserved a place in the parade, the response by politicians is just over the top virtue signalling. It was a comment on the Singh/Trudeau alliance in the House of Commons.” Another pointed out: “If the current leader of the NDP party was a blond white
The controversial float. woman then you would have seen a representation of a blond white woman sitting in the manure spreader.” He added: “In poor taste – Yes. It was a family friendly parade and a politically charged float had no business being in it.” So let’s calm down. In poor taste? Yes (though those fiercely against the Liberals and the NDP would probably disagree – that’s politics!). Racist? I beg to differ (though members of the Liberal Party and the NDP would love to capitalize on this incident – that’s also politics!) However, what was REALLY racist was the behaviour of protestors outside a Surrey banquet hall in May that forced Trudeau’s security team to cancel his appearance. South Asian volunteers “were harassed, sworn at, called towel head, rag head, you’re all immigrants.” Nevertheless, politicians and others slammed the float as soon as photos of the float hit social media.

We need to have serious conversations and actions to stop these forms of racism. We welcome @ SundreProRodeo and their parade committee to visit DCC and learn about Sikhs.” * Conservative MP Jasraj Singh Hallan: “This is absolutely disgusting. These kinds of acts have no place in Canada. This should be condemned in strongest terms by all.” * Liberal MP George Chahal: “We must continue to stand up in unequivocal condemnation of this bigoted behaviour, and racism of any kind. It has no place in Canada. The Sikh community in Canada, of which I am a proud member, has a wide diversity of political perspectives. More importantly, Sikhs have been a steadfast force for good in Alberta and across the country. Shame on those

responsible for this despicable display of racism.” * Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley: “This is deeply disturbing. This will cause more Albertans to feel unsafe in their own communities. There is no place for racism here. We must call it out in all forms and take a stand against it.” * Alberta’s Minister of Finance and President of Treasury Board, Jason Nixon: “I strongly condemn the racist float that appeared in the Sundre parade. Discrimination has no place in Sundre or anywhere in AB. I have been assured by parade organizers this float was not approved, & that they are putting measures in place so this does not happen in the future.”

Surrey RCMP’s stolen vehicle investigation leads to drugs, cash and handgun seizure * 122 grams of suspected cocaine, and * $705 cash The passengers of the vehicle were identified and released pending further investigation. The 25-yearold female driver remains in custody on a number of firearms-related charges and the investigation remains ongoing.
AN investigation by the Surrey RCMP Community Response Unit (CRU) into a stolen vehicle has lead to the seizure of drugs, cash and a handgun. On June 15, the CRU located a stolen vehicle that was
occupied by three individuals in the 8400-block of 144 Street. With the assistance of Air 1, the vehicle was safely observed until the driver and passengers exited the vehicle in the 15300-block of 24 Avenue.
“To put this seizure into perspective, the average Surrey secondary school has 1,143 to 1,739 enrolled students,” said Media Relations Officer Constable Gurvinder Ghag. “This one seizure has taken approximately 1,520 potentially fatal doses of fentanyl off the streets, enough to supply a full school.”
All occupants were taken into police custody without incident. In the course of the investigation, officers located and seized (see photos): * A handgun with two loaded magazines * 177.48 grams of suspected crystal methamphetamine * 152 grams of suspected fentanyl
Union says CBSA lets border officers and travelers down THE Customs and Immigration Union (CIU) said on Monday that with no end in sight to delays affecting travelers at airports and border crossings across the country, it’s clear the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has no plan to to get travel back on track anytime soon. It added that this is only made more evident by CBSA’s recently announced Summer Action Plan (SAP) for 2022, which lacks any long-term fixes to address the lengthy delays and staff shortages that threaten to burden an already strained system for years to come. “We’re concerned the measures proposed by the Agency will only serve to further inconvenience travelers and undermine border security,” said Mark Weber, National President of CIU. “[Public Safety] Minister Marco Mendicino and CBSA must commit to a real plan and increase the number of border officers as soon as possible to prevent any further reduction in service for travelers.” The CIU says that CBSA’s action plan is
meant to relieve summertime pressures on border services, but it fails to address the root causes of the issues affecting CBSA workers and travelers across the country: chronic understaffing and an over-reliance on inefficient, automated technologies. Instead, the plan focuses on poorly planned half-measures including mandatory overtime for officers, suspending non-essential training and exercises, lengthier assignments, reallocating dedicated enforcement teams, and even reducing or outright denying discretionary leave, the union added. “Despite facing insurmountable challenges, border services officers have never faltered in their commitment to keeping Canadians safe throughout the pandemic,” said Chris Aylward, PSAC National President. “But the federal government clearly doesn’t recognize their contributions and the incredible strain they’ve been under. As we head into the next round of bargaining with Treasury Board and CBSA, improving staffing levels and working conditions will be key issues for our members.”

Chandigarh (IANS): In a setback to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which came to power in Punjab three months ago, the two-time MP and former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, Simranjit Singh Mann, who has been demanding an independent homeland — called Khalistan — on Sunday won the byelection in the Sangrur parliamentary constituency. This seat, once a stronghold of AAP, will now be represented by Mann after more than two decades. As per poll results, Shiromani Akali Dal-Amritsar (SAD-A) candidate Mann defeated his closest rival AAP’s Gurmail Singh in a neck-and-neck battle by over 6,000 votes, with the former leading in the majority of the rounds, including the Muslimdominated Malerkotla Assembly seat. Mann, 77, who unsuccessfully contested the Assembly polls in February, won the parliamentary elections from Sangrur in 1999. Mann, who has been demanding
the opening of borders with Pakistan for traders, is toeing the ideology of Sikh leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, who was killed during Operation Blue Star that was carried out by the Indian Army in June 1984 to flush out militants hiding in the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar. After winning the election, Mann remembered the contribution of Bhindranwale towards the Sikh cause. He gave the credit of his win
New York (IANS): US President Joe Biden has appointed IndianAmerican scientist, Arati Prabhakar to his cabinet as the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), according to the White House. Her nomination, which would make her the current second Indian-American cabinet member alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, was sent to the Senate for confirmation on Wednesday, the White House said. She will also become the President’s chief advisor for science
and technology and a co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. The White House credited Prabhakar with a role long before the pandemic in paving the way for Covid vaccines that use mRNA technology. It said that “the development of a rapid-response mRNA vaccine platform” under Prabhakar’s leadership while she was the director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, (DARPA) from 2012 to 2017 made “possible the fastest safe and effective
to those who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the Sikhs. Mann remembered the contribution of actor-turnedactivist Deep Sidhu, accused of being the key conspirator of the Red Fort violence on the Republic Day last year, and slain singer Sidhu Moose Wala, who met him days ahead of his killing on May 29. Just 45.3 per cent voters — 27.1 per cent less than the 2019 elections — cast their votes to decide the fate of 16 candidates on June 23. The byelection for Sangrur was necessitated following the resignation of Bhagwant Mann, who won the Assembly election in February from the Dhuri constituency and became the Chief Minister. The other key contenders were death row convict Balwant Singh Rajoana’s foster sister Kamaldeep Kaur, 44, who was in the fray on the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) ticket, BJP’s Kewal Dhillon, 72, and Dalvir Singh Goldy, 40, of the Congress. Both Dhillon and Goldy are former
legislators. The byelection is the first major electoral battle after the AAP’s resounding victory in the state Assembly polls. Bhagwant Mann had won his first election as Sangrur MP in 2014 with a record margin of over 210,000 votes defeating SAD candidate Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa. In 2019, Bhagwant Mann was the lone AAP MP in Parliament and he had defeated the then Congress candidate Kewal Singh Dhillon by more than 110,000 votes. Responding to Mann’s victory, SAD President Sukhbir Badal tweeted, “We bow before the mandate of the people in true democratic spirit.” In the 2022 Assembly elections, AAP recorded a thumping win by claiming 92 of the Assembly’s 117 seats. The ruling Congress won 18, down from 77 in 2017. All nine Vidhan Sabha constituencies coming under the Sangrur parliamentary seat were won by the AAP MLAs with a record mandate.

If she is confirmed to the post by the Senate, as required for all senior appointments, Prabhakar will be the third Indian-American ever to serve in a US cabinet. The first was Nikki Haley who was appointed by former President Donald Trump in 2017 as the Permanent Representative to the UN with cabinet rank.

Uddhav Thackeray quits as Maharashtra Chief Minister
Mumbai (IANS): Soon after his social media address to the people, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray drove down to Raj Bhavan and tendered his resignation to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari late on Wednesday. Thackeray himself was behind the wheel and was accompanied by his wife Rashmi, and son Aditya. Soon afterwards, he returned to his residence ‘Matoshri’ in Bandra East with Shiv Sainiks raising slogans in his support at several places en route. Thackeray also quit as Member of Legislative Council - nine days after the Maha Vikas Aghadi government was reduced to a minority with an unprecedented rebellion by the Shiv Sena legislators. With this the two-and-half year old, three-party Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress government experiment has collapsed, barely hours after Koshyari ordered a floor test late on Tuesday night. Thackeray announced his resigna-
Uddhav Thackeray submits his resignation to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari. tion - “I am quitting the post of CM” - in a public address to the people of the state on social media, in his familiar, cool, composed, father-figure style as he did regularly in the past two-and-half years. “With your blessings and cooperation, I could manage it till now... I especially wish to thank Nationalist Congress Party President Sharad Pawar and Congress President Sonia Gandhi, and both the parties for extending their cooperation,” he said.
Thackeray also acknowledged how the NCP-Congress ministers on Wednesday immediately agreed to the renaming proposals of Aurangabad to Sambhajinagar and Osmanabad as Dharashiv, though conceding it was a much-delayed decision. Touching briefly on his short-lived 31-month-long tenure and the 56-year-old party legacy that he carries forward, Thackeray recalled how many ordinary workers, autorickshaw drivers, paanwalas, etc,
grew in the party, became corporators to ministers and became very big. “Now those same people are ‘naaraz’ (disgruntled) and those who did not get anything are still loyal and stand strongly with Shiv Sena,” he rued. “I invited them (the rebels) several times to come and meet me and discuss their issues... whether they have problems with me, the Shiv Sena, the NCP, Congress or anything else... but there was no response,” he noted with a tinge of sadness. Thackeray said that those who became big on the strength of the Sena and Balasaheb Thackeray, if they believe that by topping his son, they will get “punya” (grace), let them have it. “I was a reluctant CM.. The circumstances under which I came to the post is well known.. I am not hankering for any post. Before you, I hereby quit my post as CM. I only need your love and affection,” said the Chief Minister, who had vacated
the official quarters, ‘Varsha’ bungalow last week, hours after the rebellion erupted in full force. Adding that he did not want the drama of any floor test or such politics, Thackeray also said he was quitting as Member of Legislative Council. Taking a swipe, Thackeray said the Governor upheld democracy by acting on the Opposition’s letter to order the floor test within 24 hours, and wished he (Governor) had done the same with the MVA’s proposal to nominate 12 MLCs, now pending since November 2020 with Raj Bhavan. Moments later, opposition Bharatiya Janata Party leaders including state President Chandrakant Patil, Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis and others celebrated the Chief Minister’s announcement with cheers and distributed sweets. Several rebel MLAs welcomed the developments and said the state will now be on the path of progress under the leadership of prospective chief minister Fadnavis.

Alt News co-founder Zubair’s police custody extended by four days New Delhi: A Delhi court on Tuesday granted four-day police custody of fact-checking website Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair to Delhi Police’s Special Cell in a case related to an “objectionable tweet” he had posted in 2018 against a Hindu deity. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Snigdha Sarvaria passed the order after hearing arguments from Delhi police as well as the accused. While arguing for his custody, the Delhi Police alleged that Zubair had brought a “blank phone” for questioning, from which apps like Twitter had been deleted. The police further alleged that Zubair had threatened the police that “all material in the laptop would be deleted if anything were to happen to him”. The court also allowed the police to take Zubair to Bengaluru and recover his mobile phone and laptop from his home. The police submitted that Zubair had allegedly “edited” the photo in the tweet, to which Zubair’s counsel Vrinda Grover said the photo was not tampered with in any way and that it was a still from a 1983 film ‘Kisi Se Na Kehna’. The court dismissed this argument of Zubair’s counsel at this stage. It said the submission that the tweet in question was part of a CBFC approved film “is of no assistance to the accused at this stage”. The Delhi Police pressed for permission to seize the laptop and mobile phone of Zubair that was used when the tweet in question was posted. Grover, however, submitted that none of his tweets had been posted through the laptop and that the phone with which the 2018 tweet was posted had been stolen. Grover added that even the Delhi Police had acknowledged in court submissions that the phone they are seeking to seize had been stolen. Police had sought an extension of Zubair’s
Mohammed Zubair custody by five days. Earlier on Monday night, Zubair was arrested by the Delhi Police’s IFSO unit, resulting in backlash from various political leaders, journalists and social activists. A group of activists said it was “absolute hypocrisy” of the government that his arrest came on a day India committed at the G7 Summit to defend democratic principles and protect the freedom of expression. His arrest came days after the Gujarat authorities arrested Teesta Setalvad on the charges of “criminal conspiracy, forgery and placing false evidence in court to frame innocent people” in the 2002 Gujarat riots. Criticising the arrests, All India Progressive Women’s Association member Kavita Krishnan alleged it was “absolute hypocrisy” of the Prime Minister to “use the Constitution of India as window dressing” while he is acting in revenge against activists and journalists who is holding his party accountable. “I expect more from leaders of world democracies and the international media. When Modi goes to an international stage, he should
be asked about his treatment of journalists and activists in India. I find it wrong if he is given a free pass when he talks about democracy in India...,” she told PTI. She also referred to the treatment of India’s Muslim minority and the country’s low ranking in the press freedom index and said the international media should hold Prime Minister Narendra Modi accountable for these. Shabnam Hashmi, social activist and founder of Anhad, alleged these are times worse than the Emergency. “On the international platform, the prime minister is talking about freedom of speech and he should be ashamed of it. This is absolute hypocrisy,” Hashmi told PTI. Aakar Patel, chair of board for Amnesty International India, said the Indian authorities are targeting Zubair for his crucial work to combat the rise in fake news and disinformation and call out discrimination against minorities. “The arrest of Mohammed Zubair shows the danger facing human rights defenders in India has reached a crisis point,” Patel said in a statement. In a statement issued on Monday, leaders of the G7 grouping and its five partner countries, including India, committed to open public debate, independent and pluralistic media and the free flow of information online and offline, while guarding the freedom, independence and diversity of civil society actors. The leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said they are prepared to defend these principles and are resolved to protect the freedom of expression. Meanwhile, Opposition parties reacted sharply to Zubair’s arrest, calling out the BJP government at the Centre for its hypocrisy since the arrest came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi signed the “2022 Resilient Democracies
Statement” at the G7 summit, committing to “protect freedom of expression and opinion online and offline”. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said that Zubair had been arrested for exposing the BJP’s hate, bigotry and lies. Gandhi tweeted: “Arresting one voice of truth will only give rise to a thousand more. The truth ALWAYS triumphs over tyranny.” At a press conference on Tuesday, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said that while perpetrators of hate were receiving political patronage, those who reported such hate were being jailed. Going a step further, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi said that there was a threat to Zubair’s life since the Delhi Police was not following established procedures. Owaisi tweeted: “He’s been arrested with no notice & in some unknown FIR. Total violation of due process. @DelhiPolice does nothing about anti-Muslim genocidal slogans but acts swiftly against “crime” of reporting hate speech and countering misinformation.” The Opposition leaders also called for Zubair’s immediate release. Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said that the arrest clearly showed the Modi government is “insecure and threatened by anyone who exposes its hate machine of misinformation”. The Trinamool Congress issued an official statement condemning the arrest. In a strongly-worded tweet from the party’s official handle, the TMC said, “It is much easier to cry foul when someone not from your own party is allegedly hurting religious sentiments. Arrest @ NupurSharmaBJP, and show the country that the same rules apply to all. The rule of law is not for you to tamper with @BJP4India!”

Thiruvananthapuram (IANS): Opposition Presidential candidate Yashwant Sinha, who arrived in the Kerala capital to begin his electoral campaign, on Wednesday said that the country needs “a thinking and speaking President” in the Rashtrapati Bhavan and not “a rubber stamp”. Interacting with the media here after meeting the CPI-M-led Left and the Congress-led Opposition lead-
ers and legislators, he said that the reason why he decided to accept the candidature of the joint opposition is because the country is passing through difficult times. “The country is now going through inflation, unemployment and an absence of recourse for the people have made life difficult and that’s what prompted me to accept the candidature... I am starting from Kerala,” said Sinha, who landed

here on Tuesday night. To a query about if he had the numbers to get elected, the former Union Minister said that the numbers might not be in his favour but “also every election need not be a numbers game”. “This is a developing situation and we will see,” he said, adding that he will be going to various states to meet the legislators and the leaders. Coming down heavily on Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, Sinha alleged that there is “an authoritarian one-man rule” in the country. “Institutions of democracies have been weakened, the courts where the citizens can go for justice is also getting delayed. Petitions filed against revocation of Article 370 and 35 A in Jammu and Kashmir is yet to be heard in the Supreme Court, cases challenging the CAA are also lying unheard,” said Sinha.

Akali Dal leader accuses AAP govt of reneging on promises Chandigarh (IANS): Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) legislature party leader Manpreet Singh Ayali on Tuesday accused Punjab’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of reneging on its promises by failing to allocate funds to fulfil its promises, including implementation of the Rs 1,000 per month allowance to every woman aged 18 or above. Participating in the discussion on the state budget 2022-23, Ayali said the women, who had played a big role in the formation of the AAP government, were feeling betrayed. “The government has not allocated any

Chandigarh (IANS): With the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann cracking down on the drug mafia, the state police’s Special Task Force (STF) has arrested two drug smugglers in Ludhiana after recovering 20.80 kg amphetamine or crystal meth, known as ice, from them, police said on Tuesday.
The operation was carried out by teams of STF of Ludhiana led by Additional Inspector General of Police, Snehdeep Sharma, according to Inspector General of Police, Gurinder Singh Dhillon. Those arrested have been identified as Harpreet Singh, alias Bobby, 40, and Arjun, 26, both of Ludhiana,

Ayali said even though the government had come out with an Rs 1.55 lakh crore budget, it had failed to disclose the sources of revenue to meet this expense [1 lakh = 100,000 / 1 crore = 10 million]. He said the GST compensation regime was expected to come to an end. “The government’s excise policy had been shunned by contractors

Sirsa seeks CBI probe into allotment of Punjab liquor vends
Chandigarh (IANS): BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Tuesday said the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s decision to stall distribution of liquor vends in Punjab has vindicated his stand that a high-level scam was taking place. He urged Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to order a CBI probe into the whole scam that will expose those involved in corruption. In a statement released here, Sirsa said he had claimed from day one that the excise policy of Delhi and now of Punjab has been
with only 25 out of the 177 blocks being auctioned. The government has been forced to go in for reductions which will result in a loss of around Rs 350 crore.” He said the income from registration of land had also come down drastically. Asserting that the government’s failure to increase its sources of income had forced it to borrow Rs 10,000 crore in three months only, Ayali said: “If this trend continues the state will be pushed into a further debt trap.” The SAD legislature party leader also questioned the government’s inten-

His arrest has been shown in a different case lodged against him. Kumar was brought on transit remand from a Punjab jail and was produced before a Patiala House Court. The Special Cell sought fourteen days police custody. The police move was opposed by advocate Deepak Tyagi who appeared for Kumar. The court after hearing the arguments allowed the police request and sent him to police custody. Sources said that he was involved in the murders of rival gang members and hence his custodial interrogation was required. “He provided hideouts for absconding gang
members. He used to supply sophisticated arms to his accomplices and others on the instructions of Lawrence Bishnoi, Sampat Nehra, Canada based gangster Goldy Brar and Anmol Bishnoi. We will confront him with his aides who are in our custody now. We want to know about the entire plot of killing Sidhu Moose Wala,” said the source. The source said that the police want to know about the funding of the entire syndicate. Kumar was looking after the gang’s operations in Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab. The court after hearing the arguments allowed seven days police remand of Kumar. The police will now try to find out who funded the killing of Moose Wala and how many persons were involved in it. No senior police official was available for comment on the matter.

Punjab AAP’s first budget gives 300 units of free electricity to households
Chandigarh (IANS): A day after a humiliating electoral defeat in its stronghold parliamentary seat, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab in its first Budget on Monday proposed to spend Rs 1.55 lakh crore with no new tax, and also provisioned for supplying 300 units of free electricity each month to every household from July 1 [1 lakh = 100,000 / 1 crore = 10 million]. The paperless Budget, with focus on agriculture, education and health, proposed to earn Rs 95,378.28 crore this fiscal, against an expenditure of Rs 1,55,859.78 crore. This means a revenue deficit of Rs 12,553.80 crore. It proposed Rs 20,122 crore to be spent on the payment of interest on state’s loans. However, the total debt servicing will take Rs 36,068.67 crore of the state’s earnings. In the next five years, the Bhagwant Mannled government, which is silent on its crucial poll promise of Rs 1,000 allowance for each woman over 18 years, will set up 16 medical colleges. With this, the total number of medical colleges will rise to 25. By 2024, two super specialty hospitals, one each in Patiala and Faridkot, will be established. Three more will be opened by 2027. Under the AAP govt’s flagship program, 117 mohalla clinics will be established this year, with the opening of 75 clinics in the first phase on August 15, to mark the 75th Independence Day. An initial outlay of Rs 77 crore was proposed for the clinics. To woo the youth, the government announced to fill 24,400 posts in the government sector and regularisation of jobs for
Bhagwant Mann 36,000 contractual employees. For agriculture, the state’s mainstay, there is a provision of Rs 11,560 crore. And to provide free power to agricultural tubewells, Rs 6,947 crore will be spent. Opting renewable energy, the Budget has provision to install rooftop solar plants in the government schools at a cost of Rs 100 crore. To find solutions to stubble burning smog, which blankets the entire northern belt of India, comprising Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Chandigarh, in October-November, Rs 200 crore was allocated. To facilitate the business community, the government will constitute a special commission comprising only of traders and businessmen. The body will collaborate with the government in decision-making
and policy formulation. With an aim to bring new opportunities to the sub-mountainous Kandi area, a highway from Chandigarh to Pathankot along the Shivaliks is proposed to be developed. Cheema said the government will set up a model of good governance. “Our government has zero-tolerance towards corruption...Our party’s birth started from the anti-corruption movement,” he said, adding the government is acting against those who indulge in corrupt practices. The AAP came to power in February after winning 92 of the 117 Assembly segments in the state. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann hailed the tax-free budget of the state government for 2022-23, presented by Finance Minister Harpal Cheema, in Vidhan Sabha and described it as a roadmap for New Punjab. “I congratulate Finance Minister Harpal Cheema for presenting the historic budget made in consultation with the common man,” said the Chief Minister. Terming the budget as a balanced, development oriented and reflective of pro-people policies of the state government, the Chief Minister in a statement said this people’s budget has been made to bring revolution in sectors of education, health, agriculture and commerce. He said the government will soon fulfil all guarantees promised with the people. Mann said the drastic reforms will be visible soon in the fiscal sector. The Chief Minister said the budget aims at serving the weakest of the weak and poor-
est of the poor sections of society in the right earnest. He said the budget was the outcome of the pragmatic approach of the state government to achieve the objective of overall development and progress of the state and prosperity of its people in a holistic manner. He said the budget will certainly boost the tempo of all-round development of the state be it in the sector of agriculture, industry, infrastructure, power, education, health, besides empowering the women and weaker sections of society. The Chief Minister said the budget for technical education has been enhanced by 48 per cent to impart technical education to youth for opening new vistas of self-employment for them and Rs 9,449 crore has been kept for strengthening law and order of state. Likewise, he said, enhancing budget of medical education and research by 57 per cent, that of youth and youth services by 52 per cent, health by 24 per cent, employment generation by 32 per cent and industry and commerce by 48 per cent will give impetus to growth and progress of state. Mann said the budget for construction of 16 medical colleges, transformation of government schools into schools of eminence, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Haryawal Lehar and the construction of 45 ultra-modern bus stands will go a long way in development of state. He envisioned the budget as a roadmap for the revival of industrial sector and imparting fresh impetus to the stagnated agrarian economy of the state.
Delhi court denies anticipatory bail to visa racket-accused Punjab cop
New Delhi (IANS): A Delhi court has refused to grant anticipatory bail to an Assistant SubInspector of the Punjab Police, who allegedly facilitated a fake visa racket operated by a couple in the national capital. “The allegations against the applicant are serious in nature. Keeping in view the nature of offence and the fact that the investigation is at the initial stage as well as considering that the involvement of other persons behind the whole nexus is yet to be ascertained, no ground for anticipatory bail is made out,” Patiala House Court vacation judge Manjusha Wadhwa said in an order dated June 28.
The accused couple - Parveen (32) and Priyanka Madhan (28) - were involved in arranging fake Polish visas along with their counterpart Vishal alias Paaji in Poland, and Punjab Police Assistant Sub-Inspector Jasbir Singh. They were mostly operating in Punjab and adjoining Haryana and facilitating people in settling down in Europe through illegal means, according to police. The prosecution said on June 15, Sarabjit Singh was found to have a fake and counterfeit resident visa of Poland on his passport and the present First Information Report
(FIR) was registered on the statement of the Departure Immigration Counter, IGI Airport, New Delhi. Later, the police apprehended the couple as per Sarabjit Singh’s statement during the interrogation and 16 passports and 10 debit cards have been recovered from them. On the cash dealing allegations with the ASI and the couple, his counsel argued that he has made the payment of Rs 68,000, to the agency at the request of his friend Bitoo who approached him along with Sarabjit Singh’s father. His counsel argued that the applicant had
Ų
transferred the amount from his own salary account maintained with HDFC Bank and the transaction was innocently done without any vested interest. He is ready to join the investigation and cooperate with the investigation agency in any manner, the lawyer said. On the other hand, Public Prosecutor stated that WhatsApp messages between the agents and the ASI show that they shared the details of Sarabjit Singh’s passport. The Investigating Officer stated that during the interrogation, the agents disclosed that they have received Rs 68,000 from the account of the ASI.

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Review: Luxury SUV impresses both on and off-road
By Veeno Dewan The venerable Jeep Grand Cherokee soldiers on remarkably well as a fifth-generation luxury SUV with an excellent combination of looks, performance and versatility. There are some updates to keep the Grand Cherokee fresh, a few interior changes, improved technology and of course there are two engine options— a 3.6-litre V6 (293 hp; 260 lb-ft of torque) and a 5.7-litre V8 (357 hp; 390 lb-ft of torque). In terms of tow rating: the V6 offers – 2,812 kg. V8 – 3,265 kg. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The V6 has stop-start technology while the V8 has cylinder deactivation mode to save fuel. There are seven trims starting with the entry level Laredo at $51,545. The Altitude version starts at $55,040; The Limited, $59,045; the Trailhawk off-road dedicated trim is, $63,645; the Overland, $68,045. The top line Summit version as tested is $73,545 and the Ultimate Reserve model is $78,040. Plus, delivery fees of $2,095 and applicable taxes. If you
need three rows of seats you can opt for the longer Grand Cherokee L version. The 4XE plug-in hybrid version will be available next spring. There is a slew of new safety features that are now standard on all Grand Cherokee models, such as active-lane management. Options like driver-assist systems and 360-degree surround view and night vision cameras are available. The Summit model offers standard premium features such as: quilted
Nappa leather seats, wood and leather-wrapped multifunctional steering wheel, 16-way adjustable front-row seats with memory, lumbar and seat back massage, and unique Summit-specific LED fog lamps. Additional safety features include Active Driving Assist, drowsy driver detection and a 360-degree surround view camera. Higher trim models have an optional dedicated 10-inch digital screen for the front-seat passenger to download movies from Amazon Fire TV, stream videos, play games, and listen to music. Its angled away from the driver for less distraction. The seats and steering wheel is heated. and there’s selfparking technology available. Of course, the highlight of any Jeep is the All-Wheel Drive system, and the Jeep offers the Grand Cherokee with a choice of systems. The base Quadra-Trac I setup has a 50/50 power split and a locking center differential, while the Quadra-Trac II system offers a low-speed transfer case, hill-descent control; and has the ability to distribute almost all its power
to the rear wheels. An electronic rear limited-slip rear differential offers even more traction. In addition, a terrain selection system when teamed with Quadra-Trac II and a Quadra-Drive II system enables driver switchable control traction modes that include Sand, Mud, Snow, Rock, and Auto modes. The result is excellent off-road performance. Key interior attributes include a roomy, wide cabin with correspondingly big, comfortable seats for both front and rear cabins. The interior design is smart, well detailed with plenty of leather and dark wood trim. The dash has the latest generation technology with an already excellent upgraded U Connect 8.4-inch infotainment system that includes navigation. It is an intuitive, very well thought out piece of technology. A remote start, a twin pane sunroof, heated power-adjustable front seats, heated steering wheel, a 115-volt household outlet, and more features than there is room to describe are all present. Interior details on the Summit
model also include fastidiously finished wood and metal trim together with premium leather upholstery – with an attractive quilted finish on the seats and doors. Head, shoulder, and front legroom is good front and rear, while the rear seats recline up to 12 degrees and offer 38 inches of leg room. The high seating position is delightful with great visibility in all directions. Behind the second row, the vehicle has 1,067 litres of cargo space and that increases to 2,005 litres with the second row of seats down. On the mild off-road track, we took the Grand Cherokee performed wonderfully, making light work of the mud, light snow, gravel, and slippery surfaces. While tarmac performance delivered a refined, no drama ride befitting a luxury SUV, the suspension is supple, not overtly harsh and the springs and dampers have a good return rate for maximum stability and handling.. Fuel economy is rated at; combined 9.1L/100km. Overall, the grand Jeep Grand Cherokee is a competitive upperclass SUV and has a great interior luxury and offers excellent features. If you can stretch to the Summit model as tested – buyers gain all the equipment and luxury you would ever need. You won’t be disappointed, However, other models in the Jeep Cherokee lineup still offer excellent value for the buck. Down sides are few and the Jeep Grand Cherokee is a recommended buy in this sector. 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit base priced from $73,545. Plus, options and taxes. More info at: jeep.ca

Review by Veeno Dewan The 2022 Honda Passport is a popular mid size SUV from the Japanese company that is mildly updated for 2022. The Passport was introduced in 2019 as a SUV to slot in between the compact CR-V and the midsize Honda Pilot. The Passport seats five and there is no third-row option. Highlights include: its rugged good look, mild off-road capability, higher ground clearance and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. It also comes with a decent number of standard features, excellent technology, smartphone integration and plentiful interior storage. 2022 updates also include a redesigned front fascia reminiscent of the Honda Ridgeline pickup truck, a new hood with power bulge, new rear bumper, larger exhaust tips, and new 18- and 20-inch wheel designs. All trim levels receive a standard rear seatbelt reminder system, as well as a rear seat reminder that warns drivers to check the rear seat when getting out. Also, for 2022 there is a new mid-level Passport TrailSport model with a unique grille, and more aggressive front and rear bumpers. The front and rear track is wider and there are beefier tires. The TrailSport trim line has sporty orange exterior accents to separate this model from the rest of the Passport lineup. Inside, the TrailSport features orange contrast stitching, logos on the front head restraints, a black chrome gauge surround, and ambient lighting. The off-road-ready TrailSport moniker will eventually appear on other Honda vehicles in the future. In terms of the current lineup - It comes in three trim levels, starting with the Sport at $45,570, the Trailsport at $49, 270, and the top Touring grade priced at $52,170. All three trim levels come fairly wellequipped, including automatic LED headlamps, a power sunroof, an auto-dimming mirror, tri-zone automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel, a 10-way power driver’s seat, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The top-line Touring adds autoleveling headlights, auto-dimming exterior mirrors, a 115-volt outlet, GPS navigation, a premium sound system, and rain-sensing wipers All Passport models also include high-tech

safety features, and the standard Honda Sensing suite of driver assistance tech features; including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and more. All 2022 Passport trim models use the same carryover 3.5L V6 engine producing 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, Its paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Honda’s i-VTM4 torque-vectoring AWD system automatically sends up to 70 per cent of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels and can split 100 per cent of that torque between the rear wheels based on driving conditions and traction needs. The engine also has Cylinder deactivation to help save fuel at cruising speeds and automatic start/stop, shutting the engine off completely when you’re stopped at a light and starting back up again when you take your foot off the brake. There’s a button to temporarily disable that function. The Passport’s maximum towing capacity ranges from 3,500 to 5,000 lbs depending on equipment. Interior wise, the Passport is spacious and seats five in relative comfort. The interior is upscale and uses excellent materials, especially in the upper trim versions. The front seats are heated on all trims, while the rear seats are heated on

the Trailsport and Touring versions. The reclining rear seats are also quite comfortable. Interior storage is excellent with twin front door pockets, a large glovebox, and a wide, deep centre console bin. The rear seats fold flat for carrying extra-long items. There is a total of 1,430 litres of cargo space that can be expanded by 71 litres thanks
to multiple under-floor storage compartments. A power tailgate is standard on all trims, with hands-free access on the Touring model. On the road, the Passports V6 engine delivers punchy acceleration, and the ninespeed transmission shifts smoothly. The Passport also exhibits good for its class handling characteristics. Its nicely weighted steering that makes the SUV feel responsive and light in turns. The ride is not as smooth as the bigger Honda Pilot with s a slightly stiffer ride, but its suspension setup handles dips, bumps potholes fairly well. The ride is fairly smooth overall. The cabin is well insulated and there is very little wind and tire noise when on the road. Honda’s fuel consumption estimates for the Passport are 12.5/9.8 L/100 km (city/ highway). To sum up, the Honda Passport is more expensive that its rivals, but the higher equipment spec, excellent fit, and finish and powerful V6 engine reflect this. The roomy versatile interior, safety tech and standard equipment make it a very comfortable, practical family hauler with sport pretensions. Highly recommended. 2022 Honda Passport priced from: $45,570 - $52,170. More info at:www.honda.ca

Seldom do entertainment projects turn out that are almost perfect. Able to step up with a totally entertaining production is the Arts Club Theatre. So step out and take in Kinky Boots which is sure to set box office records soaring at the Stanley Industrial Stage In Vancouver. Based on the hit movie which in turn was derived from the successful London play this Vancouver live theatre production is a blast. In reality this show is all about family succession, differences, love (or lack thereof), compassion and relationships - and being respectful of others and differences. Poor Charlie Price. Sayer Roberts stars as the son of a shoemaker who is conflicted about staying in the business. Being located in a small British industrial town this sort of living does not sit well with long term girlfriend Nicola. Wanting to spread her wings Jocelyn Gauthier uses all her feminine charms and then some to lure Charlie to swinging London to spread his wings. Whether their friendship will last gets tested big time in rapid short order. News flash: when tragedy hits close to home a reluctant Charlie returns to London. Oh - but not before a chance “encounter” with a particular lady of the night. What Lola wants Lola gets

Home prices soften as Fraser Valley housing market cools amid lower sales and higher inventory SURREY, BC: As property sales continue to fall in the Fraser Valley and active listings continue to grow, the region is edging towards more balanced levels not seen since the prepandemic period. Sales of all property types in May were 1,360, down 16.9 per cent from April’s 1,637; and down 53.9 per cent compared to May of 2021. At the same time, active listings (the number of properties available for sale at a given moment during the month, in this case at the end of May) have more than tripled since December 2021. At the end of May, actives sat at 6,183, up 5.4 per cent year-over-year, and an increase of 14.8 per cent compared to April 2022. The sales-to-active-listings ratio measures whether the market is balanced (12% to 20%) or favours either buyers (less than 12%) or sellers (greater than 20%). In May, the ratio for Fraser Valley all property types combined was 22 per cent, comparable to pre-pandemic conditions in early 2020. By comparison, during the pandemic, the ratio peaked at 92 per cent, indicating a strong seller’s market. “Since March, we’ve seen sales come down with an accompanying increase in inventory, subsequently restoring much-needed balance and cooling our heated market,” said Fraser Valley Real Estate Board President, Sandra Benz. “While still early, it suggests that as we gradually settle into a post-pandemic state of work and life, the big pandemic-era

drivers – working from home and record low interest rates – may have run their course.” In May, MLS® HPI Benchmark prices for all three main property types decreased monthover-month for the first time since September 2019. “The softening of prices will be welcome news for homebuyers, especially in the face of rising mortgage rates,” said Fraser Valley Real Estate Board CEO, Baldev Gill. “The volatility we’ve witnessed over the past couple of years not only underscores the power of external events to affect the market but, in light of recent trends, the ability of the market itself, to adapt and trigger corrective mechanisms.”

Viruses love a weak immune system
achieve the prescribed balance. All the more reason he should be bulking up on the easier ingredients, like high doses of vitamin C, and the sooner the better. Fortunately, most cases of Ramsay Hunt syndrome have a good outcome. But the stakes are high for a superstar. More focus on prevention could mean the difference between decades of artistry or a tragically early end to a career. JUSTIN Bieber, the mega-successful pop icon, has had better days. His mental health and addiction issues are common to many superstars. He’s had Lyme disease and infectious mononucleosis. COVID infections interrupted concert dates. Now, he is suffering from a viral disease that has affected his speech and made him cancel more concerts. At only 28-years of age and all the wealth one could want, what’s going wrong? Doctors have determined his latest problem, a condition known as Ramsay Hunt syndrome. It occurs when the same virus that causes chickenpox activates in the ear and facial nerves causing facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear. He is being treated and will be back on the stage soon. But Ramsay Hunt syndrome is not the main culprit. It is the result of a weakened immune system that simply doesn’t have adequate store of resources to mount a successful fight against a virus. In Bieber’s case, the chickenpox virus has likely been living dormant in his nerves since childhood. Now that it has resurfaced in a painful and potentially damaging shingles outbreak, doctors are probably treating him with a combination of anti-viral drugs, corticosteroids, antianxiety medications, and pain relievers. How much better off would Bieber be, however, if the obvious risk factors were heeded prior to the development of the disease? At his age, he should be in the peak of good health. But his occupation and fame come with a lot of pressure. It’s no wonder, without sufficient care, his immune health falls down. Many North Americans had chicken pox in their youth. They ensure their children are immunized, and never think of it again. But when the virus comes out of hiding in the spine where it’s been hibernating like a bear for years, a shingles outbreak never leaves any doubt that something is happening. Victims usually detect a rash occurring along the rib cage. The degree of pain varies from person to person. The majority of patients suffering from shingles often say, “I can’t even stand the light pressure of clothing touching the skin.” It also depends on where shingles strike. Shingles in the eye, for example, can be very serious – not just in terms of the debilitating pain, but also potential lasting vision impairment. The best defence is a peppy immune response when the nasty virus surfaces. That pep comes from ample supply of the ingredients the immune system needs to fight viral infections. What are the most important of these? Always remember, vitamin C is more than a vitamin. It’s also an antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant. During infections, or trauma such as surgery, when the body is under significant stress, vitamin C levels in the blood can be reduced by as much as 90 per cent! Vitamin C can help prevent infections, shorten the stay, and ease the severity of symptoms. Likewise, vitamins E, A and D are essential. A balanced diet should include these vitamins and other key minerals like iron and zinc. In addition, exercise regularly. Drink plenty of water. Get good sleep on a regular basis. And minimize stress. In Bieber’s case, it’s doubtful he can
