Police in Calgary are investigating after two Tesla vehicles are believed to have been intentionally set on fire. Officers were called to a downtown charging station Tuesday night and found a Tesla car on fire.

The fire is believed to have been intentionally set with an accelerant.

Police say they were called the next day to a southside Tesla storage lot and found a Tesla Cybertruck that they believe was also intentionally set ablaze. Investigators say they believe the two fires are connected.

The fires come after police in southern Ontario said as many as 80 Tesla vehicles parked outside a dealership in Hamilton were found Wednesday with scratches, punctured tires and other damage.

There's been an uptick in attacks on property carrying the logo of Elon Musk's electric-car company, including Tesla showrooms, vehicle lots and charging stations, since the billionaire took a prominent role in U.S. President Donald Trump's White House.

Poilievre proposed a system that would prioritize inviting individuals who are needed and can be successfully integrated into Canada. He argued that Canada already has the best immigration system, which he intends to restore. Poilievre criticized the Liberal government for mishandling immigration, claiming it led to overpopulation, housing shortages, job scarcity, and strain on the healthcare system.

Farmer Leaders Boycott Meeting Called by Punjab Government

Farmer leaders chose not to attend the meeting called by the Punjab government on Friday to discuss issues with farmers. Prior to the meeting with the state government, a session of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha was held, where all parties unanimously decided to skip the talks.

Haryana Police removed the cement barricades to facilitate the reopening. Earlier, on March 20, the Shambhu border between Ambala and Patiala was also reopened by Punjab Police. On March 19, both the Shambhu and Khanauri borders were cleared of farmers who had been protesting there for over a year, led by Jagjit Singh Dallewal and Sarwan Singh Pandher, to press their demands.

Carney confirms Liberals won't proceed with planned capital gains tax change

Days before he's expected to call a federal election, Prime Minister Mark Carney is confirming he won't move ahead with a key Liberal tax policy. The Prime Minister's Office says a plan to hike the inclusion rate on capital gains, first pitched in the federal budget last year, will not move forward. The proposal was set to take effect on June 25 of last year and would have seen all businesses and individuals reporting more than $250,000 in capital gains in a year pay more tax on those proceeds. The tax change drew sharp criticism from some tech leaders and professional groups and the Liberals
