After international pop star Rihanna showed her support to the protests, many international personalities have come forward in support of on going farmers protests in Delhi.

Rihanna extended her support to farmers protesting on the borders of India's capital against the three agriculture laws introduced by the Central government last year and asked why people were not talking about it.

The 32 year old pop star shared a news story by CNN on the internet shutdown in several districts of Haryana, New Delhi's neighbouring state.

"Why aren't we talking about this?!", wrote Rihanna, as she added the hashtag #FarmersProtest along with the post on the micro-blogging site.

After Rihanna, climate and environmental activist Greta Thungberg also came forward in support of the protesting farmers. Like Rihanna, she too tweeted the CNN story and wrote "We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India."

Actress Amenda Cerny too joined the list of people showing support to the farmers and shared a post on Instagram which garnered more than 300,000 likes within 6 hours of sharing the support.

Rihanna's tweet:

Why aren’t we talking about this?! #FarmersProtest

Greta Thunberg's tweet:

We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India.

Bank of Canada Could Raise Interest Rates for the First Time in Three Years

Canada’s central bank is set to announce its monetary policy decision on Wednesday, with many experts anticipating a possible interest rate hike. If the Bank of Canada raises rates, it would mark the first increase in three years. Economists say the Canadian economy is facing two conflicting challenges. On one hand, economic growth remains weak, which would normally support cutting interest rates to stimulate the economy. On the other hand, rising oil prices are driving inflation, and the central bank may not want to wait until price pressures spread to other sectors before taking action. Ma

Conservatives Introduce Bill to Lift B.C. North Coast Oil Tanker Ban

Canada’s main opposition party has introduced a bill in the House of Commons to lift the oil tanker ban along British Columbia’s North Coast. The bill is set to enter its second reading this week. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and other opposition MPs have also written to Prime Minister Mark Carney, urging him to remove the ban. The Conservatives argue that the restriction forces Canada to sell its oil to the United States at lower prices, benefiting American refineries while costing Canada billions of dollars in potential revenue. According to the party, Canada could easily export
