|April 28, 2025
The suspect in a Canadian car-ramming attack that left 11 dead at a Filipino street party acted deliberately and had a history of mental health problems, police said Sunday, warning the toll could rise.

No motive has been confirmed for the Saturday evening attack in the western city of Vancouver, though terrorism was ruled out by police. The ramming shocked the country a day before a general election dominated by US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian products and his threat to annex his northern neighbor, long a key ally and trading partner.
