According to information released by RCMP,  officers were called around 9:10 p.m. to a report of an assault and disturbance at a home located in the R.M. of Macdonald. Information received indicated the male had assaulted a female inside the home, and attempted to light several vehicles on fire.

Provencher MP Ted Falk says he wasn’t surprised to hear of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s decision to withdraw from their confidence and supply agreement with the Liberal government. 

"Today’s news from Jagmeet Singh isn’t really a shocker. The NDP are gearing up for their caucus retreat before Parliament starts up again, and there’s been a lot of pressure on Singh from his own party. They’re seeing their polling numbers drop and think it’s tied to their deal with the Liberals." 

Falk didn’t hold back on his criticism of Singh’s past decisions.
