  • Security to be top concern during Joe Biden’s trip to Canada

    Security to be top concern during Joe Biden’s trip to Canada

    Canada Global (Web News) At the time of Joseph Biden’s final official trip to Canada, there was a tangible air of dread.

    There was an aura of change. Syria’s and Turkey’s authoritarian authorities were establishing their dominance. The British people had decided to exit the EU. Also, Donald Trump was poised and ready to occupy the White House.

    The U.S. vice-president, who was on a type of farewell tour in the last days of the Obama administration, stated that “genuine leaders” were in short supply and that Canada and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be required to step up.
    Six years later, Biden is returning, this time in the role of president, and things have changed significantly. Very certainly, his message won’t

    The Business Council of Canada’s president and CEO, Goldy Hyder, who spent the majority of last week meeting with American officials in Washington, D.C., stated, “There’s a seriousness to this moment in America.

    Chinese spy balloons are circling the area over North America. While the brutal war in Ukraine rages on, Russian MiG fighter jets are shooting down American drones. An extensive missile test is being conducted by North Korea.

    The meeting between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin on Monday in Moscow will highlight the geopolitical context in which the United States perceives the globe and increase pressure on Canada to continue to be a willing and dependable partner, not only in Ukraine but also abroad.

    It “shone a lot stronger light on security in all its forms: national security, economic security, energy security, cybersecurity all of these things come home to roost,” Hyder said of that meeting.

    Nothing should, in my opinion, be more essential for us than what is important to America.

    Army withdraws from providing security for Punjab and KP elections

    Canada Global (Web News) Army would not be accessible for election duty due to the prevailing security situation in the nation and on the borders, the Ministry of Defence informed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday.

    The Supreme Court of Pakistan directed the ECP to hold elections in both Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and those polls are about to take place. On April 30, KP will hold elections, and KP will hold elections on May 28.

    Sikandar Sultan Raja, the election chief, reportedly conducted three crucial meetings in relation to staging the polls, according to a news statement from the election monitor.

    At the third meeting, Lt Gen (retd) Hamood Uz Zaman Khan, the defence secretary, and Maj Gen Khurram Sarfraz Khan, the additional secretary, informed the ECP that the army was not prepared to deploy for provincial elections.

    The defence secretaries continued by adding that the economy of the nation has an effect on the army and that it would be up to the government to call the military in for “secondary duties” like elections before concluding their statement.

    The army can be deployed in quick reaction force mode for election duty, but it is not possible to carry out duty in static mode, according to the press statement.

  • Calgary will get a ‘public safety’ pilot project

    Calgary will get a ‘public safety’ pilot project

    Canada Global (Web News) Tuesday afternoon, provincial and municipal authorities will launch a pilot initiative “addressing public safety in Calgary’s inner city.”

    At the announcement at the CPS East Village Safety Hub will be Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services Mike Ellis, Minister of Mental Health and Addiction Nicholas Milliken, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek, Chief of Calgary Police Service Mark Neufeld, and Acting Chief of Alberta Sheriffs Bob Andrews.

    At 2:00 p.m., this story will broadcast the news conference.

    The 15-week pilot experiment will begin in late February, two weeks after the province unveiled a similar programme in Edmonton that will match Alberta Sheriffs with Edmonton Police Service patrols downtown.

    According to a housing advocate in Edmonton, the province’s plan for that city does not address the needs of the local population.

    On February 2, Jim Gurnett of the Edmonton Coalition on Housing and Homelessness said, “All that increased enforcement accomplishes on the streets is it either hides or moves around a problem, but it makes no contribution to resolving the situation.”

  • GHQ excuses itself from providing security for Punjab, KP and NA elections

    GHQ excuses itself from providing security for Punjab, KP and NA elections

    Canada Global (Web News) Invoking the ongoing wave of terrorism in the nation, the General Headquarters (GHQ) of the Pakistani army has excused itself from deploying troops for security of elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as well as several National Assembly seats.

    The Ministry of Interior informed the Pakistani Election Commission in a letter of the situation about the lack of troops for the election-related activities (ECP).

    Date for elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is anticipated to be issued in the coming days since the ECP is required to hold elections within 90 days of the dissolution of the assemblies. The top electoral body has set by-elections on NA seats for March.

    In the letter, the ministry said that the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta) and intelligence agencies were issuing threat alerts, and that Pakistan had recently seen a number of terrorist incidents that killed many lives.

    It said that because the Pakistani Armed Forces were preoccupied fighting terrorism and defending people’s lives, they were unable to provide security for elections. It emphasised the fact that terrorist organisations had threatened political officials from different parties. It was concerned that political leaders might be singled out during campaigning.

  • Two cops martyred in Charsadda terrorist attack

    Two cops martyred in Charsadda terrorist attack

    Canada Global (Web News) According to police officials, two police officers were martyred in a terrorist attack on Saturday in the Charsadda area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

    In the most recent assault on law enforcement, terrorists opened fire at a police checkpoint in Dheri Zardad on Nowshehra Road, according to Charsadda District Police Officer Sohail Khalid.

    Three police officers were hurt during the attack and were taken to the District Headquarters Hospital. However, according to the authorities, two of them eventually passed away from their wounds, while the third is currently receiving medical attention at the hospital.

    Police said that after a retaliatory fire during which one of the terrorists was also hurt, during which a search is still under way, the terrorists fled the scene of the incident.

    A sizable police contingent arrived at the scene soon after the incident and started a thorough search, according to the authorities.

    Policemen Imran and Rameez were killed while constable Yousuf Ali was transferred to Peshawar due to significant injuries.

    The attack on Dheri Zardad occurs as Pakistan battles an uptick in terror attacks, particularly those carried out by the TTP, an outlawed organisation, and from across the Afghan border.

    After the Taliban took over, the TTP reportedly regrouped in Afghanistan, and Pakistan reportedly repeatedly urged the neighbouring country’s interim administration to make sure that its territory wasn’t being used for terrorism. However, the Taliban-led administration has fallen short of expectations.

    According to statistics released by Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, militant activity has been concentrated mostly in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with the former accounting for 31% of attacks during the past year and the latter 67%.

    Islamabad on high-alert for security after suicide bombing 

    Canada Global (Web News) Following a suicide bombing last week in which a police officer and a taxi driver were killed, Islamabad Police reported on Monday that authorities had increased security in the Pakistani capital by deploying additional troops in sensitive areas and increasing patrolling operations throughout the city.

    On Friday, a massive vehicle bomb exploded in a residential part of Islamabad, sparking worries that terrorists had taken up residence in one of the city’s safest neighbourhoods.

    Since ending an unofficial ceasefire with the government of Pakistan in November, the Pakistani Taliban have increased their attacks on security personnel.

    Police reported receiving intelligence tips about militants’ potential attempts to attack “high-value” locations in the city on Monday.

    The spokesperson recommended citizens to cooperate with security officers at checkpoints and carry their identity cards while travelling, saying that police would avoid spreading “unnecessary panic” among the populace but would nevertheless be on high alert.

    According to Jawad, more soldiers had been assigned to the city and patrolling had been improved.
