Vancouver Rundown Monday February 23, 2026

Those from B.C., along with other Canadians, are sheltered in place as widespread violence breaks out across Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Cars have burned, blocking roads, and travellers have taken cover as heavily armed thugs seek revenge following the killiing of the Jalisco New Generation cartel boss - a man known as El Mencho. YVR and other airports across Canada have cancelled flights to the tourist destination. Global Affairs is warning Canadians in PV to shelter in place. Travel to Mexico is not advised.
