Canada's Historic Drug Bust in Falkland, BC: Is There a Pattern?
A man with a Punjabi-origin name is facing serious charges after the RCMP busted a "super lab" in a rural community of BC, seizing a historic amount of nearly half a billion dollars' worth of drugs, along with dozens of ready-to-use rifles, handguns, and explosives.
"The 95,500,000 potentially lethal doses of Fentanyl that have been seized could have taken the lives of every Canadian at least twice over," read the RCMP statement by Assistant Commissioner David Teboul, adding that, "Not only has this enforcement action potentially saved over 95 million lives, it has also served to deny this transnational organized crime group an estimated $485 million in profit."
In this video report from Falkland, BC, I explain that itโs not just the "little guys" getting caught with huge amounts of drugs; prominent figures in both Canada and Punjab have made international headlines, bringing shame and harm to their communities.

Today, we announced that the Government of Canada will set an intake cap on international student permit applications to stabilize growth, for a period of two years. Details: https://t.co/Rz6VJ8HKyW
For 2024, the cap is expected to result in approximately 360,000 approved study permits, a decrease of 35% from 2023. Study permit renewals will not be impacted. Those pursuing masterโs and doctoral degrees, and elementary and secondary education are not included in the cap. Current study permit holders will not be affected.
To implement the cap, as of January 22, 2024, every study permit application submitted to IRCC will also require an attestation letter from a province or territory. Provinces and territories are expected to establish a process for issuing attestation letters to students by no later than March 31, 2024.
In order to better align the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, we are changing the eligibility criteria:
-Starting September 1, 2024, international students who begin a study program that is part of a curriculum licensing arrangement will no longer be eligible for a postgraduation work permit upon graduation.
-Graduates of masterโs and other short graduate-level programs will soon be eligible to apply for a 3-year work permit.
In the weeks ahead, open work permits will only be available to spouses of international students in master's and doctoral programs. The spouses of international students in other levels of study, including undergraduate and college programs, will no longer be eligible.
"there has been an 86 per cent drop in study permits issued to Indians in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Aroundย 14,910 students were issued study permits in late last year which is a huge drop from the earlier 108,940 students."
