Khalistan separatist movement is a threat to Canada per CSIS
Publisher’s rating: False. CSIS does not consider the Khalistani movement as a whole a threat to Canada. The government’s website states that only a small group of individuals are considered « Canada-based Khalistani extremists », and that « non-violent advocacy for an independent state of Khalistan is not considered extremism. » Advocacy for Khalistan separatism is lawful political activity in Canada, per the Canadian government’s website.
Related reporting quotes CSIS saying that ongoing violent extremist activity by Canadian-based Khalistan extremists poses a national security threat, while non-violent advocacy for Khalistan is not considered extremism. This supports a distinction between a small extremist subset and the movement as a whole.

Value Added Tax (VAT) has been increased by 2.5% for all goods and services in Sri Lanka.
Publisher’s rating: Missing Context
The review says the claim is misleading: the 20.5% composite rate taking effect on July 1, 2026, applies to banks and financial institutions, while VAT on general goods and services remains 18%. It explains that the composite rate consolidates the existing 18% VAT and 2.5% Social Security Contribution Levy.
