Rajeev Sharma0 CommentsBritish Columbia, Canada, TrendingBritish Columbia

Victoria, B.C.

The British Columbia Disaster and Climate Risk and Resilience Assessment (DCRRA), released in October 2025, describes a scenario that, while extreme, is considered highly plausible by experts. Imagine a midsummer heatwave during wildfire season: a megathrust magnitude 9.0 earthquake strikes off the coast of Vancouver Island. In minutes, violent shaking sweeps across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, damaging 18,000 buildings, killing more than…

Canada Poised to Absorb Major Impact from U.S. Political Upheaval in 2026: Report

Rajeev Sharma0 CommentsCanada, Ontario, TrendingCanada

Ottawa (Rajeev Sharma): Canada could face the most significant international consequences from political instability in the United States next year, according to a new assessment released Friday by global risk consultancy Eurasia Group. The report argues that decades of predictability in Canada–U.S. relations have effectively come to an end, warning that continued volatility south of the border will directly affect Canada’s economy, trade security, and foreign policy direction. According to the analysis, U.S. President Donald Trump’s consolidation of executive power and aggressive use of state institutions has implications far beyond American politics. Eurasia Group says these developments are reshaping Canada’s…

British Columbia Looks to India for Trade Growth Amid Shifting Global Alliances

nishuthapar10 CommentsBritish Columbia, Canada, TrendingBritish Columbia

British Columbia (Rajeev Sharma): British Columbia Premier David Eby departed for India on Friday, launching a trade-focused visit that underscores a changing approach in Canadian economic strategy — one that places commercial opportunity ahead of unresolved diplomatic tensions. The trip is deliberately low-profile. No business delegations or ceremonial events are scheduled, and the premier is accompanied only by Jobs and Economic Growth Minister Ravi Kahlon and a small support team. Despite its modest format, the mission carries significant weight as Canada and its provinces seek to reduce reliance on the United States amid escalating trade barriers and political uncertainty.

Ontario (Rajeev Sharma): Residents of Kashechewan First Nation continue to struggle as a worsening water emergency shows no clear sign of resolution, forcing families to ration bottled water and prepare for large-scale evacuations.

For families living in overcrowded homes, the shortage has become especially difficult. Fifteen-year-old Keisha Paulmartin, a resident of the community, said the limited water supply does not meet daily needs. Many homes shelter multiple families and large…
