The federal government is ordering the dissolution of TikTok's Canadian business after a national security review of the Chinese company behind the social media platform, but stopped short of ordering people to stay off the app.

A 39-year-old man from Winkler has been charged with a raft of sex offences after two youths came forward to police last week.
    
Initially, one of the youths, a girl, reported he had repeatedly sexually assaulted her between 2020 and 2023. 
    
At that point, he was taken into custody by Winkler Police with help from the RCMP.
    
Then, a second youth, a boy, came forward and disclosed that he too had been sexually assaulted by the man over this same time frame. 
    
Police say the man was known to both of the victims. 
    

Another case of fraud has Morden Police Service once again emphasizing caution to online shoppers. 
    
Late last month, someone purchased an item on VarageSale and sent an e-transfer to the seller, but when they went to alleged seller's home to pick it up, the person living there said they had the wrong address.
    
The buyer tried to contact the seller, but the account had already been deleted from the app.
    
Police stress, to never send an e-transfer until you have the item you're buying in your hand and can confirm the seller is legitimate
