New Glasgow Police have issued a statement offering condolences after a Montreal Police officer was killed Monday in a shooting. The 34-year-old, who joined the force in 2021, was one of three people killed, along with a civilian and the suspected shooter. Another officer was seriously injured but remains in stable condition as investigators work to determine the shooter’s motive behind the attack.
New Glasgow Police say that over the past two weeks, Canada has witnessed a heartbreaking series of tragedies that have claimed the lives of three police officers and left three others seriously injured in four separate incidents. New Glasgow Police say they honour their service, their sacrifice, and their unwavering commitment to protecting their communities – and stand strongly in unity to condemn all acts of violence directed toward police officers and all emergency first responders.

Crown prosecutors in Halifax are still reviewing evidence in the case of two young people who were charged after the discovery of a newborn’s body in a wooded area last month.
A 23-year-old man and his 26-year-old wife are charged with concealing a child’s body, committing an indignity to a dead body and two counts of obstruction.
When the couple appeared virtually in Halifax provincial court yesterday, their lawyer said they were waiting on a disclosure package from the Crown.
On May 22nd, a 23-year-old woman who had given birth was admitted to hospital in critical condition, but the baby was nowhere to be found.
It prompted a search that led to the grim discovery at the edge of the city.

Nova Scotia’s annual inflation rate reached 5.2 percent in May, up from 4.3 per cent in April, driven heavily by surging gasoline and energy prices. Overall, the country’s annual rate of inflation jumped to 3.2 per cent in May, up from 2.8 per cent in April. Inflation figures show air transportation costs were up 7.4 per cent across Canada year over year last month after decreasing slightly in April. Higher jet-fuel costs — driven by the war in the Middle East — were not captured in Statistics Canada’s April inflation data but showed up in May. The report will be the Bank of Canada’s last look at price data before its next interest rate decision on July 15th.
