THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck Jason Kenney’s UCP Province Cuts Legal Aid Budget; Refugee Sweeps Alberta Law Cash Eliminated Vows To Kill Carbon Tax, Revive Oil Industry, Create Jobs Move Is ‘Horrific’ Says Organization TORONTO: The Progres- sive Conservative government is slashing the budget of Legal Aid Ontario, including eliminating funding for refugee and immigration law services _ a move lawyers with the organization call a “horrific’’ decimation. Legal Aid Ontario has sent a letter to staff as the government tabled its first budget, saying the province is reducing funding to the organization by 30 per cent. That means it will receive $133 million less in this fiscal year than the $456 million it had an- ticipated.

Amarinder Singh expressed shock at the ruling Canadian Liberal Party’s “knee-jerk decision that was clearly aimed at protecting its political interests in an election year”, saying it could have serious consequences for India-Canadian relations in the long run. “Trudeau is playing with fire with his decision to assuage inflamed domestic pas- sions through this ill-considered move,” Amarinder Singh said. The Chief Minister pointed out that he himself had given proof to the Canadian Prime Minister, during the latter’s India visit in February last year, of Canada’s soil being used to spread the separatist Khalistani ideology against a friendly country. The Chief Minister dubbed the erasure of the various references to Khalistan and Khalistani organisations from the latest threat report as an unpardonable act in the eyes of the peace-loving global community, his spokesperson said. “Such an act amounted to endorsement of the terror activities and de facto promotion of extremism.” Only references with respect to Khalistan and related terms have been targeted by the Trudeau administration, he pointed out, adding that it appeared to be a clear case of the Canadian government giving in to political compul- sions. “Trudeau... has quite bla- tantly ignored the adverse impact this could have not only on Can- ada’s relations with India but also on geopolitical stability.” “The world cannot afford to fan extremism in any form, which is what the Trudeau government was effectively doing with such ill-thought moves,” he said. www.WeeklyVoice.com FRONT/national Friday, April 19, 2019 | A-5 Senate Panel To Look At Canada’s ‘No-Fly’ List Ottawa: Too many Canadians 2015 because he was deemed to fly’ list is officially known as bill is being studied by the Sen- traveling because their name is have difficulty travelling through be “high profile,” according to the Secure Air Travel Act It is ate Committee on National Se- the same or similar to someone Canada’s airports for the sole a CTV News report. administered by the Passenger curity and Defence. on the no-fly list.

Canada and the EU pledged to work together in the World Trade Organization and ban the enforcement or recognition of American court orders against Canadian or European companies. The landmark tightening of the U.S. trade embargo on Cuba’s communist government represents a major shift in U.S. foreign policy _ one that could place Ca- nadian mining, tourism and financial services companies at risk in American courts. About one million Canadians annually vacation in Cuba and Toronto-based resource company Sherritt International is long established there, while countries such as Britain, France and Spain have companies active in rum, ci- gars and tourism. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrys- tia Freeland said Canada is “deeply disappointed”. “The EU and Canada consider the extraterritorial application of unilateral Cuba-related measures contrary to international law,’’ Freeland, her European Union counterpart Federica Mogherini and EU Trade Commissioner Ce- cilia Malmstrom said in a joint statement Wednesday.

In a tweet, Umar said the move was “part of a cabinet reshuffle” and that Prime Minister Imran Khan offered him the energy portfolio. “As part of a cabinet reshuffle, (the) Prime Minis- ter desired that I take the Energy Minister portfolio instead of finance. However, I have obtained his con- sent to not take any cabinet position.” “I strongly believe @ImranKhanPTI is the best hope for Pakistan and Insha Allah will make a Naya Pakistan,” he tweeted.

IN5 Experium: The Golden Temple - A Visual Treat Spectacular Hi-Tech Show Offers Rich, Immersive Experience & Insight Into Sikh History And Beliefs BRAMPTON: Spectacular and magical are only few of the words to describe IN5 Experium: The Golden Temple of Amrit- sar - a high-tech multi-media exhibition that opened at the Bramalea City Centre on Tuesday. The official opening was by Indian Consul-General in Toronto, Dinesh Bhatia and Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown. IN5 Experium allows visitors to im- merse themselves in the glorious history and beliefs of Sikhi - one of the worlds’s youngest religion - and experience the se- renity and splendour of Harmandir Sahib (the Golden Temple) in Amritsar. With panoramic LED panels that light up with a kaleidoscope of images in a looping pattern, the entire middle section of the exhibition is an enchanting and visu- ally stimulating experience. The pond - or sarovar - in which the Golden Temple is located - also comes alive with multi-coloured fish and tiles that ripple like water when you walk on it. The show covers 30,000 square feet with smart ence on Sunday: “All images used for the walls, motion sensor walls and 42 projec- sole purpose of the show is to provide an tors that tell the story of Sikh philosophy experiential space ...to get a glimpse into and way of life.

Performance & Driving Dy- namics: As you’d imagine, a vehicle with just 141 hp and a CVT transmission, is not going to set the road on fire! And, the HR-V certainly won’t – it takes it nearly 10.0 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in the all-wheel drive model. However, in real world traffic, the HR-V seems fine, only occasionally feeling too slow, while the ride and handling is really quite good. This is not a vehicle you buy for spirited driving, and nor is it ideal for long drives every day (the cabin is a bit noisy on the highway, with tire roar seeping into the cabin), but as a aged 8.5 L/100 km.
