Two South Asian men plead guilty in fatal BC hit and run where victim was dragged for blocks Police say two men have pleaded guilty for their roles in a fatal hit and run last year in Surrey, B.C., in which a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle and then dragged for several blocks. Surrey police say Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh were two of the three occupants in a red Ford Mustang that struck the male pedestrian in the early morning of Jan. 27, 2024. Police say officers found both the vehicle and the pedestrian a few blocks away from where the hit-and-run was reported along 105th Avenue, not far from City Hall, and the victim was declared dead at the scene. Both Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous operation
of a conveyance, failure to stop after an accident with a person and interference with a dead body. Both men are now out of police custody and awaiting sentencing scheduled for May. The fate of the third occupant of the vehicle, who was also arrested after the crash, has not been released.

Meaning whatever countries charge the United States of America we will charge them, no more no less,” Trump said as he signed the executive order Thursday. Trump said the tariff would differ depending on the tariffs individual countries imposed on U.S. goods.

Unprecedented US visit by all 13 Canadian premiers paints China as ‘common economic enemy’ All 13 of Canada's premiers have descended upon Washington in an unprecedented effort to remind American officials that their northern neighbour is a pivotal partner as the US weighs imposing tariffs on Canadian imports. Led by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, the high-profile show of concern features a pitch to enlist Canadian provinces as the US seeks, in Ford's words, a "decoupling from China and its
global proxies". "Doing so will be no easy task," Ford told a gathering of the US Chamber of Commerce in Washington on Tuesday.
