Missing Norwegian hiker's body found near Hayes River, RCMP say
RCMP say they’ve found the body of a 29-year-old Norwegian hiker who disappeared in northern Manitoba while on a cross-continental journey of the Canadian wilderness.
Mounties from the Gillam RCMP detachment say police, Parks Canada officers and community searchers from Fort Severn, Ont., were on the west side of the Hayes River on Sunday morning when they received a report from a helicopter pilot who believed he'd spotted the missing hiker’s body.
They say the searchers went to the area and confirmed the body belonged to the overdue man.
Canada rescinds digital services tax to resume negotiations with U.S.
Canada is rescinding its digital services tax and will resume trade negotiations with the United States, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said in a statement issued late Sunday night.
The announcement came following a phone call between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump, and just hours before the first payment under the tax was going to come due for major tech companies like Amazon and Google.
On Friday Trump announced on his social media platform Truth Social he was terminating all trade discussions with Canada because of the tax.
