Six years after she was reported missing, Halifax police are continuing to investigate the homicide of Shelia Madore.

Madore, who was 48 at the time, was last seen on July 23, 2020, in the Gottingen Street area of Halifax, police said.

She was reported missing on Oct. 8, 2020.

On March 12, 2021, police found human remains in a wooded area near Findlay Community Centre in Dartmouth.

Working in collaboration with the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service, investigators identified the remains as those of Madore.

Years later, the special investigation unit continues to investigate the homicide. The case is part of the Nova Scotia Department of Justice Rewards program which offers rewards up to $150,000 for information leading to an arrest.

“It is never too late to come forward and the smallest piece of information may be just what is needed to progress the investigation,” police said in a news release.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

A representative for the Canadian steel industry says he worries that U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs are here to stay for the “long term” as he urged the federal government to strengthen Buy Canadian rules to support the industry.

Speaking at the Senate’s foreign affairs committee Thursday, John Cuddihy, a vice president with the Canadian Steel Producers Association, said the American steel industry has profited greatly from Trump’s trade war with Canada.

And Cuddihy said he doesn’t anticipate the situation changing any time soon.

“The underpinnings of the current situation suggest that tariffs could be with us for awhile,” said Cuddihy.

“From a financial perspective, where the United States is at suggests it may be difficult for them to remove tariffs across the board. So in terms of treating the world as it is as opposed to how we’d like it to be, as we look at the world we’re anticipating that tariffs will be … in play for the long term. ”

Cuddihy declined to answer questions about the impact of U.S. steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs decision to lay off roughly 350 employees at Hamilton’s Stelco plant.

Prime Minister Mark Carney accused the U.S. company of “betraying” Canadian workers and suggested federal funds were available to keep employees working at the Hamilton plant.

But Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves told Global News in an interview that “no amount of money” would’ve changed the factors that led to the company’s decision.

“There’s no market in Canada for the amount of galvanized steel we produce in Canada. We need to export … to the United States,” said Goncalves, who has supported U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Goncalves denied his support and donations to Trump played a factor in his decision.

“I have been in this business for 45 years, so I have worked with so many different persons, Republicans and Democrats. Trump, then Biden, then Trump,” Goncalves said.

He also denied that he was holding out for a better financial support package from the Canadian government.

“I did not ask for a blank cheque to the tune of billions with no conditions, that’s absolutely wrong,” Goncalves said.

On Monday, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly sent Stelco president Paul Simon a letter detailing “extreme disappointment” in the company’s layoff plans, noting that Cleveland-Cliffs takeover of Stelco in 2024 was conditional on maintaining the number of unionized and non-unionized employees.

Those conditions remain regardless of “business strategy or market conditions,” Joly wrote.

Ottawa’s gas tax pause is offering a bigger break at the pumps to the households that earn the most largely because they buy more fuel, the parliamentary budget officer says in a new report.

The federal government temporarily suspended the federal excise tax on gasoline, diesel and jet fuel in April. The pause was supposed to end on Sept. 7, but the government announced last month it would extend that pause into 2027.

Half the tax rate will be reapplied starting Feb. 1 and the tax will be restored to the full rate on April 1.

Parliamentary Budget Officer Annette Ryan said in a new report Thursday that the total tax pause will save the average family $276 over the course of the roughly one year it’s in place.

But those savings increase for families in higher tax brackets. The PBO estimates that families in the highest income quintile can expect to save an average of $468, while those in the lowest quintile would see just $132 in relief.

Fuel costs often make up a bigger share of lower-income families’ total budgets but households that earn more also typically spend more at the pumps.

The Liberals paused the fuel excise tax to offer Canadians relief from a global energy shock driven by the war in Iran.

The government has not provided a per-family estimate of tax savings from the program. Ottawa says the suspension removes roughly 10 cents from a litre of gasoline and four cents from a litre of diesel.

John Fragos, spokesperson for Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, said the fuel tax pause is a blanket measure that applies evenly to all Canadians based on how much they’re driving.

The Liberals’ other major affordability program, the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit, is income-tested and proportionally benefits lower-income households with direct payments, he noted.

Fragos also said that the relief on diesel costs can also pass through Canadian supply chains. Those savings per fuel litre can cut costs for businesses and bring down final prices for consumers on store shelves, he argued.

The PBO noted its estimates assume total savings from the tax break are passed on by producers, but those projections could be affected if corporations retain those savings.

The budget office expects the total cost of the fuel tax pause will be $4.9 billion, just under the federal government’s estimate of $5.3 billion.

The federal Conservatives attempted to pass a motion this week to extend the tax break and cut other fees associated with diesel production, but the proposal was voted down by other parties in the House of Commons on Wednesday.

FBI agents arrested an 18-year-old man accused of plotting a terror attack on the Mall of America after monitoring him for nearly two years and supplying him with the AK-47 he planned to use, authorities said Wednesday.

The 18-year-old, identified as Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, of Richfield, Minn., had been on the FBI’s radar since December 2024, when he began trading hundreds of messages with a confidential informant through multiple social media and messaging applications, according to the criminal complaint.

The complaint alleges that Mohamud said he initially expressed an interest in travelling to Somalia to fight for designated foreign terrorist organization al-Shabab militants.

As his plans to attack the mall solidified, the complaint says, agents sold him the gun and ammunition on Tuesday and arrested him on the spot after he paid US$600 to the undercover FBI employee posing as a member of the Islamic State group for the rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition.

Mohamud was charged by complaint with one count of knowingly receiving a firearm and ammunition in order to commit a federal crime of terrorism, U.S. Office of Public Affairs announced on Wednesday.

“This individual allegedly obtained a weapon he hoped to use in a mass casualty attack in support of ISIS, but this FBI arrested him and put a stop to his plans,” FBI Director Kash Patel said.

“Once again this FBI is moving more effectively than we ever have before at stopping terrorists before they can attack Americans – with over 1,100 individuals prevented from conducting attacks, over 4,000 foreign terrorist organization related disruptions and arrests, a 38% increase, and more,” Patel added.

“We will continue to use every resource we have to detect and prevent acts of terrorism and wipe out their networks all over the country,” Patel continued, adding, “Thank you to FBI Minneapolis who did an outstanding job in the investigation and likely saved lives.”

Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said that Mohamud allegedly sought to carry out a “mass-casualty shooting at the Mall of America, expressing a desire to emulate some of the most horrific ISIS-inspired attacks in the United States, including the atrocities at Pulse Nightclub and 2025 New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans.”

“The National Security Division will continue to work closely with the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force to track down and prosecute ISIS-inspired terrorists in the United States,” Eisenberg added.

According to the complaint, Mohamud allegedly stated many times that if he was unable to travel overseas because of a lack of funds, he planned to carry out a mass casualty event in Minnesota in support of ISIS on Oct. 24, the date of a scheduled arts celebration by the Hmong community, Minnesota’s largest Asian ethnic group.

“In July 2026, Mohamud sent messages discussing his intent to carry out a mass-casualty shooting attack at the Mall of America because he claimed it was owned by Jews. He wrote that wanted to kill 30 to 60 people so no one would go there,” the U.S. Office of Public Affairs said.

In August and September 2026, Mohamud continued to send messages discussing his intentions, including his plans to allegedly purchase a firearm and to recruit others to join him in committing the attack. Mohamud sent a selfie-style video of himself pledging allegiance to ISIS, according to the complaint, which included a screenshot of Mohamud’s video.

When the informant asked if he was serious about committing the attack, Mohamud replied, “yes i am 100% sure,” the complaint said, and added: “I would have backed out by now if I wasn’t sure.”

During the sale of the firearm and ammunition, Mohamud “reaffirmed his plan to use the firearm and ammunition to shoot people at the Mall of America,” according to the complaint.

“As alleged in the criminal complaint, Mohamud took substantial steps to plot to murder innocent people in the name of ISIS,” said U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen for the District of Minnesota. “Such threats are taken seriously, and I commend the committed public servants of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the FBI, and my office, who work every day to stop them.”

Mohamud made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright on Oct. 7.

He told the judge he did not have a job, own a house or a car or have any money in the bank. He was represented by Siri Carlson McDowell, a federal public defender.

The case is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney Ryan White of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Bejar for the District of Minnesota.

An Ontario man with Stage 4 melanoma says the province has effectively blocked access to public funding for out-of-country drug treatments in response to his attempts to urgently seek therapy in the United States.

Alex Shved, a 37-year-old father of two young children, took the province to court over Ontario Health Insurance Plan rejections.

OHIP denied his oncologist’s request for Shved to receive tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy in Florida at an approximate cost of US$600,000, largely citing the fact that the therapy is under consideration for public funding in Ontario.

The executive officer of Ontario public drug programs wrote in his denial that routinely funding out-of-country drug therapies while they are undergoing review in Ontario would “undermine the incentive structure that encourages manufacturers to participate in Canada’s drug review processes.”

A Divisional Court ruling found that OHIP offered no real basis for that reasoning and ordered OHIP to reconsider.

Following that ruling, OHIP has now rejected Shved’s request for a third time and Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced that the province has amended regulations to clarify that drugs will only be funded out of country if they are already funded within the province but access is temporarily unavailable or delayed.

She also says the government is exploring a “mutually satisfactory resolution” in Shved’s individual case.

The Belleville, Ont., police officer who was injured in a shootout outside a synagogue last month is “improving each day,” the chief of police says.

Const. Jeff Smith is making “steady progress” and has undergone multiple surgeries, Belleville police Chief Murray Rodd said in a statement Wednesday.

Smith was stationed outside the Sons of Jacob synagogue during Yom Kippur celebrations on Sept. 20 when the shooting unfolded.

Police say Sean Ward, a 29-year-old man from Quinte West, shot at Smith. The officer was rushed to hospital in critical condition. Ward was also injured but died in hospital a day after the shooting.

“I am pleased to share that Constable Smith continues to make steady progress and is improving each day. His treatment has included multiple surgeries, and he continues to receive ongoing medical care. Considering the extent of his injuries, he is doing remarkably well, and we remain encouraged by his resilience and recovery,” Rodd said.

“Every message, letter, card, and well wish received from across Ontario and beyond has been deeply appreciated.”

Rodd added police have met with officials, community and public safety leaders since the incident and have “reaffirmed our commitment” to protecting the community from hate and violence.

Smith was shot multiple times, Rodd has previously said, with the first round hitting him before he even exited his vehicle to return fire.

It was less than three minutes before a second officer engaged in the situation. That officer, Const. Michael McCurdy, did not sustain any injuries.

Smith noticed Ward passing by earlier in the day but was not alarmed, police said during a Sept. 24 news conference. He was then “ambushed on a second pass.”

Smith suffered from multiple gunshot wounds to his head and body.

The officer’s wife posted a message on Facebook on Sept. 23, thanking the community for the “outpouring of love and support.” She also extended her condolences to the Jewish community and the residents of Belleville.

Police said on Sept. 24 they had evidence the shooting was motivated by hate.

“The suspect had the means, the motive and the mechanisms to cause a mass casualty and the destruction of the Jewish synagogue,” Rodd said at the time.

About two dozen people were inside the synagogue at the time of the attack. No one inside was injured, police said.

Police showed a video recording from the area of the shooting in which the shooter appears to tell Smith, “You are going to die for the Jews.”

Rodd said that police have evidence that will corroborate the intent “in more detail,” but did not provide any specifics. He said there were materials in the shooter’s car that would be considered “combustible.”

The investigation remains ongoing.

The province’s police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit, is also completing its own investigation into the conduct of the officers as is customary when actions taken may have resulted in death, serious injury or the discharge of a firearm.

Caught between the high cost of living and mounting debt, Canadians are resorting to side hustles to get by, a new survey has found.

Nearly one in four (23 per cent) of Canadians say they have a side hustle, averaging 13 hours a week on their secondary job, an Ipsos survey conducted for incorporation and business registration platform Ownr found on Thursday.

The proportion rises to nearly half (47 per cent) when you add those who are considering getting a side hustle soon.

Younger Canadians are more likely to have a side hustle, with nearly half (46 per cent) of Gen Z respondents saying they currently have a side hustle of some sort.

The biggest motivation for having a second job was the need to supplement regular income (39 per cent), followed by those who were most concerned about the rising cost of living (33 per cent).

More than a quarter (26 per cent) said they took on a side hustle to pay down debt.

While many start a side hustle out of financial stress, it could also be an entrepreneurial opportunity, said Ownr CEO Jordan Casey.

“There’s a lot of entrepreneurial ambition in Canada, and this data proves that even more of it may be hiding in plain sight,” Casey said.

Around one in five (19 per cent) said they are likely to leave their primary job and turn their side hustle into a full-time business, rising to 29 per cent among Gen Z side hustlers.

More than half of Gen Z respondents said they consider their side hustle a legitimate business.

However, many still face challenges when it comes to forming an exit plan.

“What starts as extra income often becomes a realization: ‘I’m actually good at this.’ Then comes the thought, ‘I could do this full-time.’ That’s where it gets hard,” said Casey.

Four in 10 (40 per cent) of all respondents said they aren’t sure whether or not to incorporate their side hustle as a business, while another 40 per cent said they don’t understand the legal requirements of starting a business.

The “confidence gap” is larger among women, with only 58 per cent of women saying they know when they need to register their business, compared with 69 per cent of men.

Police who searched the properties of the former Prince Andrew and seized his property in the investigation into his links to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have agreed the search warrants were unlawful, a London judge said Thursday.

Justice Nicholas Hilliard said that the Thames Valley Police had made a significant error in applying for the warrant when they searched the properties of the former prince now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on Feb. 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office and police searched two of his homes. His lawyers asked the High Court judge to invalidate the warrants under which those searches were conducted.

Hilliard said the parties had agreed to invalidate the warrants before the hearing Thursday.

Mountbatten-Windsor was not in court for the hearing.

Stephens, of the Howard Kennedy firm in London, described the hearing as a preliminary skirmish in the broader legal battle.

“It’s the first step of Prince Andrew and his lawyers saying, ‘Actually, this is tainted evidence. It was obtained inappropriately,'” Stephens said. “Therefore it should be excluded from any criminal trial.”

King Charles III stripped Mountbatten-Windsor of his princely title last year as he sought to shield the rest of the royal family from the continuing fallout from his younger brother’s links to Epstein.

While Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, continues to receive a stipend from the king’s private funds, Buckingham Palace has made it clear that those funds may not be used to fund his effort to challenge the search warrants.

The police investigation initially focused on allegations that Mountbatten-Windsor shared sensitive information with Epstein when the former prince was a U.K. trade envoy, but police later said they could also consider other matters.

Police questioned Mountbatten-Windsor for 11 hours before releasing him under investigation, meaning he was neither charged nor exonerated.

It was the first time in nearly four centuries that a senior British royal was placed under arrest.

The allegations against Mountbatten-Windsor came to light when the U.S. Justice Department released millions of pages of documents from its investigation into sex trafficking by Epstein and his connections to a network of wealthy, powerful men around the world.

Mountbatten-Windsor’s ties to Epstein have been a source of embarrassment to the royal family for more than a decade.

Lawmakers questioned the relationship as far back as 2011, when the then-prince was forced to give up his globetrotting role as the U.K.’s special trade envoy. Eight years later, he failed to explain his continuing ties to Epstein in a disastrous interview with the BBC, ending his career as a working member of the royal family.

More than 500 private career colleges are scrambling to assess their options after the Ford government cut off their eligibility for student loans and grants in the wake of a potential OPP criminal investigation into the sector.

On Tuesday, the province revealed that six private career colleges were suspected of taking advantage of Ontario’s student assistance program (OSAP) after the ministry of colleges and universities noticed a number of red flags.

“There were numerous allegations that came forward, including geographic locations, specific areas of students, a high density in certain areas, as well as co-ownership between the institutions themselves as well as immigration firms,” said Nolan Quinn, the Minister of Colleges and Universities.

While six institutions were suspended by the ministry, the government said it would take a broad approach to the entire sector in order the “support the integrity of the OSAP system” by pausing their eligibility altogether.

Among the 500 institutions — with 737 campuses in total — impacted by the change is AAPS College in Toronto and Mississauga which offers education and training in the pharmaceutical, clinical research, food and nutrition, and healthcare sectors.

Shortly after the announcement, Laleh Bighash, dean of Scientific Affairs, received a memo from the ministry informing her of the pause “due to the fraudulent activities” with little information on how students and institutions could navigate the weeks and months ahead.

“I would say anywhere between 75 to 80 per cent of use OSAP,” Bighash said. “These are students who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford their education.”

While the college is expecting an impact on future enrolment, Bighash said the main concern is the current roster of students who rely on support payments for their education.

“There are students who are currently in the college and they’re half paid through the program and they’ve already committed OSAP dollars and they don’t know where to go,” Bighash said.

“At this point there is no clarity on how to deal with the students who’ve been caught in the middle, through no fault of their own, and we do feel for them, and I also feel for the staff and faculty. We’re remaining focused on how to deal with and how to help them navigate.”

That message is being echoed by Career Colleges Ontario, the association representing hundreds of institutions, which is urging the Ford government to reinstate student financial aid for career college students who were already approved for funds and are actively attending in-person classes.

The association, which had been warning the government about possible misuse of OSAP since 2023, says the government should be taking targeted action to address those concerns, not disrupting the education of students who have followed the rules.

When the government first announced the changes, Minister Quinn offered vague details on how students currently enrolled in a career college will be able to access funds — stressing that while the OSAP pipeline is being shut off, private institutions could step in.

“To support these students, the government is working on options to provide low-interest third-party loans for students enrolled at private post-secondary institutions, and is in discussions with financial institutions to facilitate these loans,” Quinn said.

“We will provide more information on these options as soon as we can.”

Meanwhile, institutions will be able to apply for OSAP eligibility with the ministry “under stricter parameters.”

Bighash, with AAPS College, said while she supports the government’s crackdown on “bad actors” in the system, she fears institutions with good track records are being unfairly swept up in the response.

“I think it might have also some unintended consequences for legitimate students and legitimate, solid, career-focused institutions that might not be able to survive,” Bighash said.

Bighash said her college has been regularly audited by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, has to apply for registration every year, and boasts consistent OSAP repayments.

“Our OSAP default rate is among the lowest when you compare it to the public or private institution,” she said.

“We actually would like to be a part of conversation to see how they can put more safeguards to protect OSAP, to protect the students, and to protect our faculties and the employers everybody.”

Bighash is calling on the government to take a “risk-based approach” to the file and warns that the government’s pledge to “protect Ontario” from the trade war with the United States will also face an impact.

“We have students who have had been affected by tariffs, and they come to us to get new skills, new experience, and you know move on,” Bighash said.

“So it makes it sort of a double-edged sword. We’re trying to help the economy at the same time. We really don’t know how we can actually focus on that rather than being in this firefighting mode.”

Millions of Americans who buy cheap drugs from Canada could soon lose access when a customs rule goes into effect later this month, a change that has sparked opposition from Democrats and some Republicans with the cost of living a top issue for voters ahead of midterm elections.

The rule applies to a swath of goods beyond drugs and is intended to collect tariffs and prevent illegal drugs from coming into the U.S. It comes as President Donald Trump has made lowering drug prices a top target in addressing soaring healthcare costs, and critics say the rule will hurt patients seeking affordable medicine.

“The issue is a matter of life and death for me,” said Susan Hooper, a 75-year-old Toledo, Ohio, resident who has been on oxygen for 14 years and takes two daily medications purchased through a Canadian pharmacy that are not available in the U.S.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection rule targets the de minimis exemption, which previously allowed shipments valued under $800 to pass through customs more easily. As of Oct. 22, that exemption will be indefinitely suspended, and medications mailed from outside the U.S. will require additional data and a bond guarantee.

The rule puts added fees and registration requirements on low-value shipments that previously entered the U.S. duty-free — on everything from textiles to toys — but the people who could see the most significant impacts are those who buy their cheap drugs from across the border.

And while the rule doesn’t specifically target Canadian drugs — it applies to international mail generally — the practical consequence could be delays, refusals or substantially more difficulty getting their medications delivered.

Roughly 2.3 million Americans buy their drugs abroad, according to a 2020 study by JAMA Network.

Trump has put drug prices at the center of his healthcare strategy

The Trump administration has made lowering drug prices a priority in its bid to show Americans that it is tackling soaring costs. Trump, a Republican, has struck multiple most-favoured-nation drug deals with pharmaceutical firms and has launched the discounted-drug website TrumpRx, among other steps.

Federal data from this summer showed that U.S. prescription drug prices were down 3.1% from a year ago, the steepest year-over-year drop since 1963. Trump has sought to take credit for the steep decline, but the real picture is more complicated, and experts say factors beyond the president’s policies likely contributed more to the drop.

Advocates say the rule will hurt patients seeking affordable medicine.

Ken Hunter, executive director of the Campaign for Personal Prescription Importation, which advocates on behalf of Americans who access the Canadian drugs, said those who have enjoyed the lower drug prices from across the northern border may not benefit from Trump’s drug pricing moves.

“There has been a lot of talk of lowering drug prices, but in many cases it doesn’t cover all drugs for all people for all conditions,” he said.

Hunter warned that costs will explode for some medications after his organization conducted a study in August looking at 10 of the most commonly prescribed medications imported from Canada.

He cited Eliquis, a prescription blood thinner used to prevent and treat dangerous blood clots. A three-month supply of 180 5-mg pills would cost $565 from a mail-order Canadian pharmacy. The same medication would cost roughly $1,017 from Amazon’s pharmacy arm or $1,029 from GoodRx.

“I’ve had so many of our members calling me and telling me, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do,’” Hunter said. “We really need someone to step forward and say, ‘We really need this to stop.’”

Allison Schuster, a White House spokesperson, said in a statement that Trump “remains dedicated to lowering the cost of prescription drugs,” citing the most-favoured-nation deals.

“The Trump administration continues working to ensure Americans have access to low-cost pharmaceuticals across the board,” Schuster said.

Democrats and some Republicans express concern

The Trump administration could drop the rule, alter it or decide not to enforce it. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have demanded answers to how the administration will protect access to affordable care for people who get their drugs from over the border.

Three Florida Republican members of Congress wrote to the administration last month expressing concern about how the rule would impact their constituents, who, unlike residents of border states, are unable to easily travel to Canada to buy the drugs.

Florida has separately crafted a Canadian prescription drug importation program with authorization from the federal government, but that initiative has stalled.

Customs and Border Protection and the Food and Drug Administration “must ensure that Floridians simply seeking relief from high drug prices will not be inadvertently impacted by the rule,” said the letter signed by Florida Reps. Aaron Bean, Gus M. Bilirakis and C. Scott Franklin.

A group of more than 70 Democrats last week sent a letter to health and immigration enforcement officials, asking them to pause the new rule unless they could provide assurances that prescription medicines meant for personal use would be able to enter the U.S.

“Americans should not lose access to affordable medicines simply because the government has better information about packages entering the country,” the letter said.

Representatives from CBP did not respond to requests for comment.

Patients say tariffs have already raised their prices

Hooper, who has serious drug allergies, said her medications have already increased in price since the Trump administration imposed additional tariffs on Canada in August.

She says Theophylline, a medication that relaxes her airways and is bought in Canada, used to cost $85 with shipping. It now costs $141 because of tariffs. And her Foradil bronchodilator for asthma, which used to cost $151, now costs $273.
Hooper said she will find a way to manage through the change. Until then, she said, she’s been in a rush to stockpile.
