Business councils call on federal government to secure trade agreement with India
Business councils call on federal government to secure trade agreement with IndiaOTTAWA — As Canada and other Western nations ramp up their efforts to build stronger political and economic ties in Asia, business groups are calling on the federal government to finally lock in a trade agreement with India. The Business Council of Canada and the Canada India Business Council released a report on Thursday that looks at Canada’s current trading relationship with India and the economic benefits that would come from establishing a trade agreement. Trade negotiations between Canada and India began in 2010 under the Conservative government of former prime minister Stephen Harper. While India has historically been closed off to trade negotiations, it has recently shown more openness to such negotiations. “In some ways both governments have to try and sort of compartmentalize the trade agreement and use that to say, look, you know, Canada-India relations are finally improving.

Tories, ambassador warn Canada is fuelling Putin’s war machine by returning turbines
Tories, ambassador warn Canada is fuelling Putin’s war machine by returning turbinesOTTAWA — The Liberal government faced accusations on Thursday of fuelling Vladimir Putin’s war machine by returning pipeline equipment in Montreal for repairs to a Russian energy giant. The ambassador said the decision marked a slippery slope and allows Russia to weaponize energy while giving Putin "grounds for further blackmail." The EU's ambassador to Canada, Melita Gabric, accused Russia of using energy supplies as a "weapon" against EU states. But Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly denied that Canada was capitulating and insisted it was rather calling Putin's bluff. A previous version said Ukrainian Ambassador Yulia Kovaliv called on Canada to rethink its decision for the other five pipelines.

Clayton Ruby, renowned Canadian civil rights lawyer, dies
Clayton Ruby, renowned Canadian civil rights lawyer, diesClayton Ruby, the Canadian civil rights lawyer who for decades took on some of the country's most notable and high-profile cases, was remembered Wednesday as a force in the legal world who changed lives through his advocacy and left an irreversible mark on the justice system. "We were just walking in blind and so to have the lion of the legal world take this on for us, it was truly remarkable." Ruby was a "true giant of the Canadian bar," federal Justice Minister David Lametti said on Twitter. "Known for his activism as a civil rights lawyer, he exemplified the commitment to driving positive change," the school's president and vice-chancellor, Rhonda Lenton, wrote in a statement. Also in the 1990s, Ruby represented former MP Svend Robinson, who was present in 1994 at the then-illegal medically assisted death of right-to-die advocate Sue Rodriguez.
