24 Canadians among those missing in Nepal floods. According to reports so far, more than 160 people have died in the disaster and more than 400 are missing. It has been confirmed that Canadian citizens are also among them.

In addition to the 24 Canadians, 133 tourists from India, 47 from the United States, 34 from Australia and 33 from the United Kingdom are missing. This includes an Indian group that went on a pilgrimage to Kailash. 62 locals who went on a pilgrimage to Gosaikunda Lake in Nepal and 28 policemen who were on security duty are also missing.

Many roads and bridges collapsed in the floods and many houses were submerged in mud. Hydroelectric projects in the region also suffered major damage. Meteorologists said the flash floods were caused by a landslide in the Himalayan region. The Trishuli River rose by 9 meters (27 feet) in half an hour.

The Nepalese government has made all arrangements for rescue operations. India and China have offered assistance. Authorities have warned people in the affected areas to be vigilant and stay away from riverbanks.

 

 

A US-born priest who sexually assaulted a young woman on the pretext of conducting spiritual rituals has been arrested in Oshawa, Canada. The Durham Regional Police have taken into custody Rajendranath Dudnath Maharaj, a resident of Richmond Hill, New York. The complainant's family had invited him to Canada from the United States for spiritual rituals.
The man committed the assault by making the young woman believe that she was possessed by evil spirits and that special rituals were necessary to get rid of this.

Police said that he took the young woman to a private place on the pretext of a spiritual ceremony and then sexually assaulted her. Based on a complaint received on Tuesday, August 25, the police reached the spot and arrested the accused. He has been charged with sexual assault and produced in court for bail.

Durham Police suspect that he may have abused more people in a similar manner, as he travels internationally for spiritual work. The investigation into the case is ongoing and anyone with further information is asked to contact Durham Regional Police or the Criminal Investigation Branch.

 

 

The state government’s ambitious data centre plans to make Alberta a leading investment hub in the artificial intelligence sector are drawing public attention. As part of this, Minister Nate Glubish held a second public meeting. The public meeting was held in Sturgeon County, home to the $1.3 billion state-of-the-art AI data centre that Meta plans to build. The town hall aimed to address concerns about the project’s local impacts and transparency.

The government held the second public meeting after strong opposition and protests at the first meeting in Lacombe. Local residents are concerned that the large amount of energy and water needed to operate the data centres will strain the power grid and affect the availability of drinking water in the farming sector. In addition, the question of whether this will lead to an increase in household electricity rates for the poor was also raised. But the minister explained that strict guidelines have been put in place to keep local water resources safe and to avoid increases in electricity rates.

While the government’s primary goal is to bring significant economic investment and high-tech jobs to the province, the public’s position is that it will not compromise on the need to ensure local amenities and environmental sustainability. An online virtual town hall meeting, including Alberta Premier Daniel Smith, will be held on August 27 to explain the next steps of the project and to address public concerns. In addition, the government has scheduled an in-person town hall meeting next month in Grand Prairie, where another centre is coming.

New York: Daeun Kim, a 17-year-old student from Staten Island, New York, has come out with a demand to make school fare to Manhattan free. She made the request on Instagram after her letters to Mayor Sohran Mamdani went unanswered.

While regular public transportation is free, the express buses that Staten Island students rely on are not exempted. The huge cost: Kim says her parents have had to pay $18,270 in bus fares just to get her and her brother to school over the past four years.

Kim explains that her Korean immigrant parents work hard for their education and that the intervention came after she saw the hardships of her mother, who works as a nail polisher. Huge support: This video, shared on Instagram, has already been viewed by millions of people.

But there has been no response from the mayor's office on the matter. After school, Kim wants to study psychology at Cornell University and start an art therapy foundation for immigrants.

Canada's public health system is facing a serious crisis, according to the latest national survey results. 63 percent of the country's people believe that the health care system in their provinces is in a critical state. The survey was conducted by Abacus Data and Research Co. The survey shows that the shortage of doctors and nurses and long wait times in hospitals are the biggest concerns for people. About 55 percent of people said that medical facilities have worsened in the past five years.

Due to this waiting time in the medical field, millions of patients are suffering for hours in emergency departments. According to a report released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, one in ten people who visit emergency departments have to wait more than two days to receive further treatment. Due to the increase in patients and staff shortages, about 1.2 million people have returned without completing their examinations in a year. Bureaucracy and administrative shortcomings are the main reasons for the current collapse, with 12 percent pointing out.

Despite widespread dissatisfaction with the system, Canadians still have faith in the publicly funded healthcare model. 85 percent of respondents said that the country's fundamental principle is free healthcare that prioritizes individual needs over financial means. Most people are concerned that the entry of the private sector will increase the cost of treatment and make services inaccessible to ordinary people. People are calling for the current system to be reorganized and improved.

 

 

A 42-year-old Montreal man has been arrested in connection with a case involving the forging of fake documents and the issuance of visas to several people. The case was filed following an investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

The main allegation against him is that he helped prepare fake visas and refugee applications for about 60 people between January 2022 and March 2024. In addition, the investigating agency states that he facilitated the illegal entry and stay of 53 people in Canada using the forged visas.

It has also been found that he committed fraud by creating sponsorship letters using four fake Canadian passports. He claimed to be a leading immigration consultant with offices in Canada, France and Bangladesh. In May 2025, police found crucial documents related to the fraud during a search of his home. Kasim has been charged with five serious crimes, including conspiracy, facilitating illegal entry, and using a forged passport.

However, police have received information that Kasim left Canada in June 2025.

 

 

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have arrested a minor teenager who was planning to carry out a terrorist attack on a school in Montreal, Canada. He was taken into custody at his home on Friday after a weeks-long investigation based on information provided by the American intelligence agency, the FBI.

It is suspected that he used artificial intelligence to plan the attack. In addition, he spread threatening messages targeting Muslims, the Haitian community and the LGBTQ+ community through the Telegram platform, police spokesman Ensign Eric Gass said.

The man was taken into custody by the Joint Investigative Team (INSET), which ensures national security. Police said they are questioning him and are continuing to search the home for electronic devices.

Legal action is being taken to prevent suspicious movements and keep them under surveillance. The police added that he will be produced in the juvenile court on Saturday and a proper charge sheet will be filed after further investigations.

 

 

Halton Regional Police have arrested a suspect in a series of thefts of luxury cars using digital tracking devices in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area. Darrell Dawns, a native of St. Jerome, Quebec, has been charged with 29 counts of vehicle theft, including attempted theft, for stealing or stealing 14 premium Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

Investigators said the suspect, who was previously on bail for similar crimes, was continuing his thefts in the same manner.

The investigation began last April when an Oakville resident found an unfamiliar ‘Acuteg’ tracking device in his vehicle and reported it to police. The suspect primarily targeted expensive vehicles parked in busy public areas such as shopping malls and hotel parking lots.

The suspect would stick these GPS or Bluetooth trackers behind the license plate, inside the side mirror, in the wheel wells or on the bumpers, out of the way of drivers. He would then track the vehicle’s movements via a mobile app and steal the vehicle while it was parked in a secluded area with no security cameras or witnesses.
Halton Police warned the public to be vigilant as large criminal gangs are using such technology.

Police urged people to make it a habit to check their vehicles before taking them out of parking areas and to report any unfamiliar tracking devices to police immediately without removing them. Police added that the digital evidence and fingerprints contained in the devices can help identify criminals quickly, so they should not try to remove them themselves. The investigation into this case is still ongoing.

 

 

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has temporarily allowed telecom companies to sell locked cellphones. The decision will be very beneficial for major companies such as Bell and Telus.

However, according to the new consumer law, if a customer requests it, the phone must be unlocked immediately without any additional cost. Or, the phones must be set up to unlock themselves within two business days. The CRTC's new decision follows complaints from companies that unlocked phones are more likely to be stolen and resold.

Locking phones was banned in Canada in 2017 to make it easier to switch mobile service providers. Unlocking is being kept free and easy to protect consumers' freedom along with security. The CRTC clarified that the new decision is temporary and that the current terms will continue until a final decision is made on the matter.

 

 

Police and social workers in Edmonton, Canada, have expressed serious concern over the increasing number of violent incidents and murders involving teenagers. The recent tragic deaths of two teenagers have shaken the city. Earlier this month, a 12-year-old boy was found dead, and a 16-year-old girl was shot to death.
Another 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the incident and charged with second-degree murder.

Officials of 'Youkan', an organization that works to deter young people from the path of violence, pointed out that the current situation is a serious failure of various social systems. Children are now committing violent crimes, including drug and gun use, at a much younger age than before. Social workers also warn that adult criminals are taking advantage of juvenile laws that guarantee only light sentences and are preying on and using children.

Edmonton Police Chief Warren Drieschel said it is a very frightening situation to see teenagers committing crimes with guns in public. Experts say that imprisonment alone cannot bring back young people who turn to violence, and they need to be provided with mental health support and rehabilitation. Police are appealing to families, schools, community organizations and law enforcement to work together to prevent such tragic incidents from happening again.

 

 

The temporary fuel tax exemption for vehicle owners in Canada may end soon. With this, it is indicated that fuel prices may increase again from September.

The temporary fuel excise tax exemption announced by the central government is reported to end by September 7. The full tax rate will come into effect from September 8. Prime Minister Mark Carney waived fuel tax from April 20 in the wake of the sharp rise in oil prices following the Iran war. The exemption was 10 cents per liter for petrol and four cents for diesel.

With the reinstatement of the tax, the price of petrol may increase by 10 to 11 cents per liter. Filling a 50-liter tank will cost an additional five to six dollars. Fuel prices are likely to rise further as gas stations switch to more expensive "winter grade" gas by September and supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz due to Middle East tensions are likely to push fuel prices higher. The federal government has not yet officially announced a decision on extending the tax break.

 

 

The US administration’s global drug pricing policies and trade pressures are reportedly delaying or canceling the supply of new life-saving drugs in Canada. Global companies are falling behind in bringing even drugs officially approved by Health Canada to the market. The current crisis is mainly due to Canada’s strict drug price control standards and the US’s ‘Most Favoured Nation’ policy framework.

In the past year, the supply of about 50 cutting-edge drugs for cancer, rare kidney diseases, and neurological disorders has been disrupted or canceled in Canada. For example, even though a new drug developed by Novartis Canada for the treatment of a rare kidney disease has received government approval, the company has stated that it will not launch it on the market due to the current economic and diplomatic situation. Manufacturers are withdrawing from distribution in countries like Canada, fearing that selling drugs at lower prices in other countries will significantly affect prices in the American market.

Health experts point out that even if a new drug is approved in Canada, it takes an average of more than two years for it to reach ordinary patients. Due to the long approval process and the decline in per capita profits, multinational companies’ preference for the lucrative American market has put the Canadian health sector in an urgent crisis. The medical community is putting strong pressure on the Canadian government to review drug testing standards and make timely changes to pricing policies to address this supply bottleneck that threatens patients’ lives.

The Canadian government’s 42-year legal battle to deport Vincenzo ‘Jimmy’ DiMaria, a major Toronto mafia boss, to Italy has suffered another setback. The Immigration and Refugee Board has rejected the government’s petition, citing the government’s failure to prove Jimmy DiMaria’s ties to mafia gangs.

Born in Italy in 1955, DiMaria came to Canada with his parents. However, he did not receive Canadian citizenship. This was prevented by his conviction in a case in which he shot and killed a man after he did not return money. Although the first order to deport him, who had been sentenced to prison for second-degree murder in 1982, was issued in 1984, DiMaria has been resisting it through legal means.

The Toronto head of the Italian organized crime group ‘Ndrangheta The police allege that Di Maria is the ringleader. However, the board stated that neither the police nor the government have been able to prove that Di Maria has any connection with the mafia or money laundering. The appeal was dismissed, stating that the government's allegations were mere suspicions and lacked solid evidence. This paved the way for Di Maria to continue living in Canada.

 

 

Two planes flying with the same flight number in Phoenix, USA narrowly escaped a major disaster. The disaster was averted by the timely intervention of the air traffic controller. Both planes took off at the same time with American Airlines flight number 2482.

The confusion was caused by the delay of the flight from Chicago due to bad weather. Before this plane arrived, the airline company had given permission for another plane to depart from Phoenix with the same flight number. With this, two planes arrived in the same airspace with the same call sign and the threat of collision arose.

However, the air traffic controller, realizing the risk, correctly classified the incoming and departing planes and instructed the pilots. He instructed the plane that was coming to land to remain at a higher altitude and the plane that had departed not to fly higher. Both planes continued their journey safely due to the vigilance of the controller and pilots. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and American Airlines have announced investigations into the incident.

 

 

Police have arrested two Romanian nationals who tried to steal money from ATMs in York Region near Toronto. They tried to steal money by sticking double-sided tapes on the cash dispensers of ATM machines. The suspects were caught in an investigation conducted by the York Regional Police’s Financial Crimes Unit after receiving 14 such fraud complaints from various banks between June 17 and July 27.

The suspects would stick double-sided tapes in advance on the ATM’s cash dispenser slots. When customers withdrew money, the tape would catch the money partially or completely, preventing it from coming out and getting stuck inside the machine. When customers left without receiving the money, the suspects would go to the ATM and take the stuck money and leave.

The suspects were arrested on August 6. The suspects were identified as Raswan Senica (41) and Vasile Stoyan (52). Both have been charged with theft under $5,000 and destruction of public property. Police seized a large amount of double-sided tape and metal pieces made for fraud from them. It has been found that the suspects traveled extensively in southwestern Ontario. Therefore, police suspect that more people may have been scammed.

Authorities urged the public to immediately report any irregularities or suspicious circumstances at ATMs to the bank or police.

 

 

A fellow passenger saved a passenger who tried to jump out of a plane window after it broke in mid-air. Last month, a Ryanair flight from Greece suffered an engine failure and the window shattered. The passenger was rescued by a fellow passenger when he tried to fall out due to a change in air pressure. A major tragedy was averted thanks to the timely intervention of the fellow passenger. This incident has been confirmed by American investigators.

According to the preliminary investigation report released by the American National Transportation Safety Board, the accident was caused by the separation of a fan blade on the right engine of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Metal fragments that flew out of the engine at high speed hit the fuselage and windows of the aircraft. The investigation team assessed that bird remains were found inside the engine and that a bird hit the blade shortly after takeoff may have caused the blade to break.
In accordance with international aviation rules, the Greek government has handed over a detailed investigation into the accident to the American agency NTSB. The 61-year-old passenger, who was seriously injured in the accident, was given first aid with the help of a doctor on board and evacuated to a safe place. The plane made an emergency landing at Thessaloniki Airport in Greece due to a drop in air pressure.

 

 

A critically ill cancer patient in Winnipeg has been reported to have waited on a stretcher in a hospital corridor for 20 hours without receiving emergency treatment. Colleen Titanich, an elderly woman with cancer, had to wait for a long time at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. Finally, her daughter called the health minister and protested, and the patient was transferred to the palliative care ward.

Colleen was taken to the hospital by ambulance last Tuesday due to neck pain and other health problems. However, officials said the emergency department was extremely crowded and that she would have to wait 21 to 24 hours to see a doctor. The situation was horrific, with intoxicated patients making noise and spitting at nurses in the corridors filled with patients, her daughter Teresa said.

The next morning, Teresa realized that her mother had not been examined by a doctor, so she called Manitoba Health Minister Uzoma Azaguara and complained. Within minutes, the elderly woman was moved from the hallway and given a bed, and then transferred to Riverview Health Centre for specialist care. Teresa said that if she had not intervened, her mother would still be lying in that hallway and her life would have been in danger. Teresa called for the emergency department to be avoided for people seeking treatment for addiction and those with serious illnesses, and for special arrangements to be made to ensure emergency treatment for the elderly and children.

Manitoba Health Minister Uzoma Azaguara expressed regret over the incident. The minister acknowledged that waiting times in hospital emergency departments are too long, and that steps are being taken to address staff shortages and expand the operations of primary health centres.

 

 

Rogers telecom services were severely disrupted in the city of Calgary after a major fiber optic cable was cut. Company officials said it was an attempt to steal the cable. The Canadian police have opened a case and have launched an investigation into the incident.

The cut cable was discovered on Earlton Street at around 6:20 a.m. Monday. Internet, TV and landline services were then completely disrupted in many homes and businesses in the southwest and southeast Calgary areas. The incident, which even affected emergency communication systems, caused great distress to the people.

Rogers technicians and emergency services teams immediately arrived at the scene and began repairs. Rogers officials said that the disrupted services would be fully restored by 10 p.m. Monday. Calgary police have intensified their investigation into the incident. No information about the perpetrators is yet available.

Toronto: York Regional Police have arrested a 19-year-old Indian-origin man for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at an amusement park in the city of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. The suspect has been charged with sexual assault and sexual interference.

The suspect, identified as Jugaad Dhami, a Brampton resident, was arrested on May 25 after the woman was riding a ride at the park with friends when the suspect allegedly sexually assaulted her during a security check.

York Regional Police have released a photo of the suspect to the public, citing suspicions that there may be more victims in the incident. Authorities said that anyone who has had a similar experience should not hesitate to contact the police, and that since there is no statute of limitations for sexual crimes, complaints can be filed even after years have passed.

 

 

 

A woman walking her dog was seriously injured after being hit by a car driven by a child under 10 in Oakland, California. The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. Thursday. The woman was walking her dog in a crosswalk when the child was hit by the vehicle driven by the child.

Ottawa: A secret intelligence report by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has revealed that the India-based Lawrence Bishnoi gang has expanded its underworld network in the country by abusing Canada's international student visa system and work permit programs.

The report says that although Bishnoi's main follower, Goldie Brar, came to Canada in 2017 under the guise of studying, there is no clear evidence that he studied and that he subsequently played a key role in strengthening the gang's activities in Canada.

According to the assessment of the CBSA's intelligence unit, investigations have found that some Indian youths who come to Canada on study permits and work permits are being recruited by the gang and used in organized crimes such as murder, extortion, and targeted attacks.

At the same time, the context of the report indicates that only a very small group engages in such activities and that the majority of international students have nothing to do with it.

 

Public sentiment in Canada is strong against the federal fuel tax hike planned to take effect from September. According to the latest opinion poll conducted by 'Leger', it is clear that 63 per cent of the country's citizens strongly oppose this decision of the government. It is estimated that the move to increase fuel taxes will put an additional financial burden on people who are in crisis due to high inflation and high cost of living.

According to survey data released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, there has been a large-scale opposition across the country, regardless of province and age. With the reinstatement of the excise tax, which was previously temporarily reduced, the prices of petrol and diesel will increase by 10 cents and 4 cents per litre, respectively. Market experts and taxpayer organizations warn that this will sharply increase transportation and freight costs and lead to a further increase in the prices of essential goods in the market.

Opposition parties and consumer protection groups have urged the federal government to scrap the proposed tax hike altogether in light of the rising cost of living. It is believed that extending fuel tax exemptions would provide significant relief to people's monthly budgets, while imposing a tax burden in the current economic environment would be counterproductive.

 

CoinKite, a leading Bitcoin wallet maker based in Canada, has revealed a major flaw in its open-source code that uses AI to assess security. The company’s disclosure comes in the wake of hackers taking advantage of a software flaw in its wallets that stole around 130 million U.S. dollars worth of Bitcoin. CoinKite says the security flaw it encountered is a strong warning to all technology companies that develop Bitcoin hardware and software.

The critical coding flaw was found in the technology used in the company’s popular ‘ColdCard’ wallets. Despite relying on artificial intelligence systems for security checks, the company explained in a blog post that the AI was unable to detect the flaw in the software’s build and sub-module boundaries. Following this, they demanded that all crypto companies that rely solely on open source codes and AI systems for security immediately undergo testing of their software.

Such a major security breach in hardware wallets, which are supposed to help keep Bitcoin safe, has caused great concern in the crypto sector. Coinkite said that it is extremely sorry for the technical error and is immediately changing the affected software versions and providing assistance to affected customers. In addition, experts say that the security guarantees provided by AI systems are not perfect and that this incident highlights the need for direct human review of critical codes.

 

 

 

The City of Calgary is warning against careless disposal of batteries. The move comes after it was discovered that batteries were improperly disposed of after major fires at the city's Spiehill and Shepherd landfills were caused by improperly disposed batteries.

Batteries can cause sparks or explosions when they are discharged or damaged. Therefore, city hall clarified that they should not be placed in blue, black and green bins and should only be handed over to designated collection centres. Officials pointed out that people should remember that batteries are found in everyday devices such as mobile phones, tablets, vapes, e-cigarettes and smoke detectors.

The recommendation is to store batteries in their original packaging or to affix electrical tape or duct tape to the ends of the battery so that the brand label is not hidden. Store taped batteries in clear, resealable plastic bags. It is also recommended that batteries be recycled only through 'Recycle Your Batteries Canada!', eco-centres and other household waste collection points.

Fires caused by batteries can spread quickly and cause significant damage. The City of Calgary is urging everyone to follow proper procedures to protect the environment and ensure the safety of landfill workers.
