Trudeau says Saskatchewan to get carbon rebates despite province not paying levies
Justin Trudeau says residents in Saskatchewan will continue to get carbon rebates while the province says it's not worried by the prime minister's push to get the Canada Revenue Agency to collect money owed.
The Saskatchewan government decided earlier this year not to remit the federal carbon price on natural gas to Ottawa, a move that breaks federal law.
Trudeau said Tuesday in Saskatoon that the Canada Revenue Agency has mechanisms to collect the money from the province.

Judge finds Saskatchewan Mountie who shot lover guilty of manslaughter
A former Saskatchewan Mountie has been found guilty of manslaughter in the shooting death of his lover.
Bernie Herman, 55, had pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Braden Herman. The two men are not related.
"I did not believe (Bernie) Herman that he felt threatened," Court of King's Bench Justice Gary Meschishnick said in his decision Thursday.
But the judge said the Crown had not proven the officer was not provoked.
A killing must have been planned and deliberate for a first-degree murder conviction.
